Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

WalletHub is one of the better free credit reporting applications. The main differentiator here is the daily credit score and credit report. As far as we know, no other free credit reporting service does this. The company also does a really good job showing you in a clear, personalized, and easy to understand way exactly what factors are contributing to your credit score. However, when compared to applications like Mint which get into the minute transaction details of all your accounts, WalletHub is more general and big picture. Be that as it may, the company has an excellent reputation among users and its real time email, text, and mobile app alerts are particularly handy.

Credit Score & Reports

Report Details and Frequency - 4 / 5

WalletHub is the only online credit reporting service we are aware of that allows you to monitor changes to your score and report on a daily basis for free. Most services, especially free services, will update you monthly or quarterly. This is of particular interest to customers wanting to break down how their activities affect their credit in the most minute detail. WalletHub provides you with your TransUnion report, so if you want to monitor your Experian and Equifax score you'll have to look elsewhere. Additionally, as with so many online credit services, WalletHub uses the VantageScore model, not the official FICO score. Although many lenders are increasingly taking the VantageScore into account, the vast majority still use the official FICO score. This is why patrons of websites like WalletHub and Credit Karma are often surprised to discover the score they got from said website does not match the score used by whichever financial institution they are dealing with to get a loan, buy a car, etc.

Monitoring & Tools

Credit Bureau & Credit Scores - 4.5 / 5

WalletHub is a great, free tool for monitoring your credit report and credit score, and learning about personal finance overall. The company's credit analysis feature is a great way for customers to learn exactly what they need to do to improve their credit score. However, you will not have the ability to see what's happening within individual accounts. WalletHub also does not offer anything in the way of identity theft protection or dispute resolution, but this is common for free services. Finally, WalletHub's alerts are excellent for a free service, as they will notify you immediately of any change to your report via whichever method you select.

WalletHub Plans & Pricing

Plans and Pricing - 4 / 5

WalletHub is a totally free service. You will not need to provide any payment information and the credit inquiries will not affect your score. However, as with similar sites, by signing up you agree that information on your creditworthiness will be passed on to WalletHub's advertisers. You will be offered financial products customized to your credit score and report. If you sign up for one of these products, WalletHub then gets paid.
Free Report Offered?
Yes

WalletHub Reputation & Support

Monitoring and Extra Features - 4 / 5

Although WalletHub has an A grade with the BBB, this is only based on one review. The company, however, has a generally favorable reputation across other review sites and a solid Trustpilot score. Since WalletHub is a genuinely free service (they ask for no credit card or for you to purchase anything) you can never be charged monthly or yearly subscription fees without your consent, a common scam with "free credit report" websites. Customers who praise WalletHub cite the free daily score, free online tools, and handy alerts through text, email, and mobile app.

Hi there, everyone, I’m John, please to meet you all. I work as a security with a fair rent since I live with a family who doesn’t want me to live alone and have a good paying job. My goal is to build a good credit score to get a good credit card. In April I had 140 dollars or so collections from a gym saying I never canceled my membership. I wasn’t getting charged the monthly fee for it. So, I randomly go on credit karma and see the collections. Few days after I contacted PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, they increased my score to 809 and improved my credit profile by removing the collections, charge off and late payments. I just saw today it says no more derogatory on my credit Karma. My... Read More

Are you in desperate need of a credit fix? In order to qualify for a mortgage or an auto loan. I strongly recommend Prime Credit Repair, I had a fantastic and amazing experience working with him. He helped wiped off all negative items from my FICO report, and FICO score rose to 790s across all three bureaus.

Improving my credit with the help of PRIME CREDIT REPAIR was the fastest and most Convenient. I thought of him as a con man, then he proved me wrong by improving on my credit profile. He did a CHEX system fix, increased my credit score and cleared all outstanding debt worth $88000 from profile. All I did was to inbox him through his personal email I got from other good reviews about his service. He replied and took care of all my credit issues in less than 3 weeks. All Thanks to him

I was in the process of rebuilding! I had a 30-day late payment to Bank of America from May of 2019 due to being out of the state I live in due to a family emergency. My mother experienced a life changing injury and was in a trauma center for over a month. During this time, I inadvertently overlooked making my BOA payment. I explained this in a Goodwill letter I sent and was surprised that I immediately got a call stating they would investigate it. I was told to give them two to three days, as they would need time to review my account. One morning, I got a call from the same lady stating that they could not honor my request and remove it due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I told her... Read More

Hi all! First things first this forum has been nothing short of amazing to find! Had gotten serious about rebuilding my credit and getting it back on track the last couple of months. I am going to have to relocate for work in October so I want to make sure I have a credit score that meets minimums to be qualified for a mortgage. My loan officer has told me I need a minimum of a 580 but Ideally at least a 620 to have a better DTI ratio. Last month I had 10 collection accounts that were with the following collection agencies, showing on my credit report: Portfolio Recovery Associates – 4 Accounts, Midland Credit Management – 3 Accounts, Unifund – 1 Account, LVNV – 2 Accounts. My FICO SCORE... Read More

Hi! My name is Raymond Basham, I live in New Jersey. My score has been stuck between 579 and 583 for three years. I have several lates on my report which consist of mortgage, student loans, car loan with DoFD in April 2019 and filled my BK7 5/30/19. I almost have to get my score up, but it never budges. I was able to employ the service of PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who helped me fix my credit report back to normal and increased my credit score to an excellent score within 9 days. He also paid all the late payments on my credit report. Highly recommend PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to everyone who wants to fix their credit report. His really a great hacker.

Yes, it feels good to have a worthy credit profile. I want to use this time to appreciate PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for bringing me out of bad credit report that made my life miserable, I had 2 months late actually, I missed the 3/20 payment entirely, and paid the 4/20 payment on 4/27, after the late hit my credit report. I woke up that morning and it had dropped-100 points. I needed to get rid of it from my report. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST came through for me, my credit report cleaned up with all negative entries removed, student loan, charge offs, collections wiped out including late payments were all marked as paid on time. My score is now 804. I’m happy to have read about PINNACLE... Read More

PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST remains the best credit expertise I have known. I had a mortgage loan on my credit report and 4 CC and AAoA 7.5yrs. I filed bankruptcy 5 years ago and settled with all of these. My credit score was EX-541, TU-564, EQ-591. My attention was called that they are still on my reports I recently got referred by my wife to hire PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST which I did, and he helped me fix my credit and increase my credit score to EQ-808, EX-802, TU-805. I recommend PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to anyone that needs to fix his/her credit.

Years ago, as part of my divorce I granted my ex-wife the house that we bought together while married and she assumed responsibility for it. At some point she started paying her mortgage late and that eventually found its way to my credit report (some company called PHH). Since it had nothing to do with me, I disputed the account and submitted my divorce decree that clearly shows she assumed responsibility and I no longer have any interest in the house etc. the dispute was denied and come back verified. Frustrating since I had nothing to do with it but at the time I assumed I was stuck with it because in the eyes of creditors I was still on the hook for the debt (the house wasn’t... Read More

I’ve come to the point in my life where I realize the importance of having good credit. So, this year, when I received my tax return, I made it my goal to rebuild my credit. I’m very happy that I contacted PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I had one credit card with a high balance, and it was through Synchrony Bank (PayPal credit card). I was always on time for payment but paid the minimum due monthly. I went from a balance of $700 to $515. Then, they lowered my CL from $900 to$530, putting me at a 97% credit utilization rate and lowering my score by over 10 points. I was extremely upset when I found out that my CL was lowered for no apparent reason. I decided to pay off the remaining balance.... Read More
