Quizzle was a website that offered a free VantageScore 3.0 credit score and a free TransUnion credit report every three months.[citation needed] Quizzle was a tool to help consumers gain a complete understanding of their credit and provides tools to help users repair their credit and report problems with their credit report. Its CEO was Todd Albery.

History

Quizzle, founded in 2008, was privately held and owned by Dan Gilbert. Headquartered in Detroit, it was part of a "family" of companies that includes the Cleveland Cavaliers, Fathead, and Quicken Loans.[citation needed]

As of April 2015, Quizzle was owned and operated by Bankrate, Inc.

In early 2016, Quizzle began using TransUnion as a replacement for Equifax, and VantageScore 3.0 for CE credit score.[citation needed]

In 2019, Quizzle was shut down and web site visitors are now directed to the site of its former owner Bankrate.
