Per federal law in the United States, each person is entitled to a free credit report from all 3 agencies (Transunion, Equifax, and Experian) once each year. Companies and websites that provide this free service also make money off of showing more detailed information about your report and score, but if you just want to know the score, you can go the free route. It's always good to know what's on your credit so that you can take steps for credit repair if necessary.
Here's a link to a site where you can get your credit report: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp
