Q: Are there other situations where I might be eligible for a free report?
A: Under federal law, you're entitled to a free report if a company takes adverse action against you, such as denying your application for credit, insurance, or employment, and you ask for your report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. The notice will give you the name, address, and phone number of the consumer reporting company. You're also entitled to one free report a year if you're unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days; if you're on welfare; or if your report is inaccurate because of fraud, including identity theft. Otherwise, any of the three consumer reporting companies may charge you up to $9.50 for another copy of your report within a 12-month period.

Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Alert!
 

November 20, 2007- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have announced loan price increases for borrowers with credit scores below 680 on loans with LTVs less than 70%.
 

In an investor conference call Mike Quinn, SVP Single-Family Risk Officer for Fannie Mae said, "we announced a meaningful, across-the-board increase on loans having credit scores below 680 and LTVs above 70%. These changes in underwriting and pricing will help control losses and maintain appropriate levels of profitability through this cycle."

And in a letter posted on their website, Freddie Mac said they will be charging from .75% up to 2.0% depending on the borrower's credit score for loans submitted with less than a 70% LTV and credit scores below 680.

The following table illustrates the rates and costs for a borrower with a loan amount of $300,000.
