CheckCredit does not provide so-called "credit repair" services or advice or give advice or assistance regarding "cleaning up" or "improving" your credit record, credit history, or credit rating. Please read the following provisions carefully before using this Site. If you do not agree with any of these provisions below ("Website Terms of Use"), please do not use this Site.

To make sure that information or suggestions on this Site fit your particular circumstances, you should consult with an appropriate professional before taking action based on any suggestions or information on this Site. Information and products offered by CheckCredit and others through this Site are provided "as is" and without any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The Information contained in this Site or other materials that you receive from CheckCredit do not constitute legal, tax, accounting or other professional advice. CheckCredit makes no representation concerning, nor does it warrant or guaranty the correctness, comprehensiveness, completeness, accuracy, timeliness, merchantability, or fitness for any particular use or purpose of any information, products, or services offered by CheckCredit and others through this Site. In no event will CheckCredit be liable to any party for any damages of any kind, including but not limited to direct, indirect, special or consequential damages, for any use of this Site or any linked site including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of use, business interruption, loss of programs or other data, or failure to achieve any particular result, whether in an action based on contract, negligence, other tort, or strict liability, even if CheckCredit is expressly advised of the possibility of those types of damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of warranties or damages in certain types of agreements, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. Interactive tools such as simulators, and calculators are made available to you as information for your independent, personal use. We make no representations concerning, and do not guarantee, their accuracy or their applicability to your circumstances. Tools that are "personalized" reflect information about you (e.g., your FICOŽ score and the factors that are helping or hurting your score), but do not necessarily take all relevant information into account or provide results specific to your individual circumstances. The results of the Credit Score Simulator ("Simulator") are intended to approximate the impact of various actions on your FICO® score - if your situation is reasonably typical and if everything else stayed the same. Your actual score, and the results of any particular action, are the result of a complex interaction of the information stored in your credit report, some of which changes on a daily basis. The Simulator is provided for informational purposes only and should not be expected to provide accurate predictions in all situations. Consequently, we make no promise or guarantee with regard to the Simulator.

However, you should know that the free credit reports do not include your FICOŽ score. You should also know that "credit scores" offered by others may not be FICO® scores and may not be scores that are used by lenders in making credit decisions. The FCRA also permits consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their Credit Report without charge. Full disclosure of information in your file at the three national credit repositories must be obtained directly from the repositories:
