[Natfinwellness] International Students & Credit Reports

[Martha Sluka]

I believe the credit reporting services also have 800 numbers to order credit reports,  so I would recommend you call one of them to see if they can use the ITIN numbers if they call in their request, the on-line request may not be set up to handle them.

Hello All!

We have a very large international student population, and a question we have been asked a few times has come up with our students: "How can an international student, who does not have a social security number, check their credit report?"

We reached out to Experian quite a while back, but didn't get a response (then I forgot about it!). We know that they can have credit histories since they have ITINs, sign rental leases/agreements and can use financial products and services, but it is unclear how to pull that information for the student to review/monitor.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Andrea
