I’ve said this before – too many times I’m sure – but consumers are entitled to one free credit report each year from each of the credit reporting agencies. This free report is only available from annualcreditreport.com.
I check my score once every four months from a different reporting agency. This report is a great tool to keep tabs on your information and to make sure no one is taking out credit in your name. Plus, this report provides a clear picture of exactly how much you owe and to who you owe.
If you are following my pattern, the credit report this cycle is coming from Trans Union. I would NOT recommend getting your credit score from this agency. Requests for scores from the report site route you to credit monitoring companies… and we all know how I feel about those!
