Order Your Credit Report

The first step in the Pre-Approval process is to complete a credit pull. This will cost $130. Click the button below to authorize and submit payment — you’ll also receive a personal copy of your credit report.

⚠️
Frozen Credit Bureaus  If any of your bureaus are currently frozen, remove the freeze before pulling credit or your application will be delayed.
👥
Adding a Co-Borrower?  If you are going to have a co-borrower on the loan, make sure to include them in the credit pull as well.
📞
Phone Number Tip  If you provide your real phone number, expect frequent calls from creditors. To avoid nonstop calls, enter 555-555-5555 on the credit form — use your real number on the application in Step 2.
