Victory State Bank: Consumers Should Request Free Credit Reports


STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Lenders regularly refer to a customers’ financial histories when deciding upon loan worthiness and interest rates. This is why the accuracy of your credit report is essential. In addition, some content of a credit report can provide an indication of identity theft.

Victory State Bank advises consumers to review their credit reports, even when they are not seeking a loan.

Normally, the credit reporting agencies (CRAs) may charge you a fee for a copy of your credit report. However, an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act requires each of the CRAs to provide you with a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months.

To obtain a free copy of your credit report:

  • Request your free credit report by phone by calling 1-877-322-8228. Deaf and hearing impaired consumers can access the TTY service by calling 711 and referring the Relay Operator to 1-800-821-7232.

To request your free credit report by mail, please complete the Annual Credit Report Request Form (PDF document) and mail it to:
