You can ask your local credit bureau to show you your record.  They cannot
refuse, although they can charge you a fee.  They are required to investigate
any items you contest and cannot publicize those items while being investigated.
Also, a way to see this is to be turned down for credit ... after that they
must show it to you for free.

I think that this is federal law, but I am definitely sure about New York.
