Go to Equifax (www.equifax.com) , Experian (www.experian.com) or TransUnion (www.transunion.com).

Each of these agencies offers what is called a "3-in-1" credit report, which contains information from all 3 of these agencies.  The cost is $29.95 (As of 12/19/04).  There is also other valuable information on these websites, including: (1) information to help you understand your credit score, (2) information on how to rebuild your credit, and (3) information on how to fix any errors that may appear on your credit report.)
