They still have my old (3 yrs. ago) address on file, and no record of my current address. I need to update them so I can get copies of my credit reports sent to me (at my proper/current address). I do not want them sent to my old address.
What is the fastest way to do this?
Can I do this online somehow?

It's hard to do that type of change online. You can give it a try but they usually want proof of your address.
If online doesn't work, call them. When they will ask you to send proof, if you are in a big rush to get it changed, request a fax number so you can fax copies of anything they may request.
If they do, send them a copy of your electric bill or other utility bill. Be sure to mark out your account number. ALL they need to see is that it is in your name, on that bill, at that address, they don't need to see anything else.
If you have to send a copy of your drivers license, take a copy of it and mark out your DL number.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, credit bureaus must maintain accurate information. To correct inaccurate information you need to send proof of your address, utility bill, driver's license, recent paystub certified mail, return receipt requested to the credit bureau stating that you want to update to your current address.
Good Luck

Call the companies individually to update your information. Their phone number should be on your credit report.
