Experian, one of the three national consumer credit data firms, said it will make its FICO scores available directly to consumers who sign up for credit tracking services.
The credit bureau will also explain to consumers what factors contribute to their score and provide a timeline of alerts when something happens to change the score, the firm said.
Previously, consumers were able to access their Experian scores, as well as scores from the other two national bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion, at myfico.com for a fee. They have also been able to access their credit reports as well, at no charge, once a year because of a legislative mandate.

Consumers will still be able to access their Experian score through myfico.com, a company spokesperson said. The Experian credit report will also be available as part of the new selection of services.
"Our members asked for the credit score they recognize as being most relevant," Guy Abramo, president of Experian Consumer Services, said. "FICO scores are used by lenders more than any other credit score, and we now offer them to our members as a complement to the Experian credit reports and other credit resources that are part of our consumer products."
