The law, which updates the Fair Credit Reporting Act, would also give consumers a free credit report per year from each of the major credit bureaus - Trans Union, Equifax and Experian. For most consumers, that alone is a saving of about $ 27. It generally costs about $ 9 per credit report. (Seven states - Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont - already mandate that credit reports are available free of charge.)
