Hey guys i remember you guys had a thread about this before, but thing is my friend told me i need to have a social insurance number (canada) or social security number (states) to get a credit check, anyways its because i have a credit card and im doing really well, i always thought i had to pay the whole credit card before the end of the month, and one time (this month) i made it go into the negitive (good thing) so im pretty happy, so is there anyway i can check my credit score cuz i dont have a sin or ssn number. thanks in advance

I don't know how it is in Canada, but everyone has a social security number ... eventually ... even if you are not a citizen. If you can work, you have one. Or am I totally off here?
 
If in the states, you are given one free official credit check per year. This can be done without having to sign up for some service that tries to make you a subscriber for monthly credit monitoring.
 
Canada's credit system is completely unrelated to America's credit system, so you'd probably have to find some Canadian specific site. To be honest, I'm not all that familiar with Canada's system of credit, so I can't get any more specific than that.

I know for a fact that these American sites are of no use to Canadians (and all non-Americans, for that matter). I worked in banking for six years.

well to make things clearer i cant work unless its for the uni/college i attend, and i have no sin number that i am aware off, i dont really care about the free part i just want to know how well i am ranked. maybe i could ask my bank when i get back?
 
I havea membership with creditkeeper (http://www.mycreditkeeper.com/). It has daily monitoring and shows you monthly updates of your credit report and scores from all the credit beuros. It will also give your medical records and driving records. I cost 10.00 a month ..
 
You are here on a Student Visa from what I've gathered Mafia. You can work on Campus, that's it.

You have no credit standing here in Canada. :) Don't forget to look me up next jaunt up the 401 to Montreal.

;)
 
even though i have a canadian credit card? i should be building up credit then since i use it.

That's awesome Jonny - I have been looking for one that monitors all three, and that's the cheapest I found. Thanks :)

Not paying your balance in full does not necessarily hurt your score. Consistently having a large balance and paying the minimum does. Paying off a significant debt in a timely manner will actually help your score.
 
Derek just likes posting in random threads. :smoker:
 
Actually I needed to find a service like that, and I remembered this thread :lick:

Usually it's $25+ for all 3 bureaus, that's a great deal :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
