Checking Your Credit Report Annually

It is recommended to check your credit report annually, even if you haven’t applied for credit recently.  An Identity thief could possibly get your personal information and open credit in your name.  By monitoring your credit report regularly, you can stay on top of anything that could possibly be bogus.

 

The three top credit reporting agencies allow one free credit report each year.  It would be wise to check with one different agency every 4 months.
