If you have recent pulls on your report (30 days or so), you can request a free copy from the bureau that was pulled (tell them you were declined), that one should have the dates of inquiries IIRC.

1) Pulls are older than 30... So I guess my search continues.
2) Anyone ever request a free copy from the bureau saying you were declined if a) you weren't or b) its been >30 days?

Just state you received AA. It does not have to be recent. It seems they do not check.

+1, I've always believed this to be true, and I'm glad to hear confirmation.

Your free annual credit reports should also have the info you're looking for.

You're right.

I often get confused between 30 and 60 days.  :-[

Is there a product out there where I can check my 3 reports daily? I am particularly interested in seeing when my various credit cards are updated each month.

My mint.com account now gives me a free score. Looks like it's every 3 months. Kind of nice I guess.

Is it worth anything?
Or is it the same as  Target offered identity monitor?

Just made a wiki here for the info necessary to  obtain your free credit report when denied credit.

PS. Obviously this works even if recon approves you later.

Only for reports. The score is not mandated by the law, but they will be desperate to sell it to you all through the phone tree.

Thanks for taking the time to add this to the wiki.

But one can easily go to the bureaus website and instantly access the report online. No need to call.

The exact links are on the forum somewhere. But they can be easily found by looking on the websites.
