It’s time for some Financial Spring Cleaning! Let’s start by scoping out our credit reports. You are entitled to receive one free credit report every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This free credit report can be requested through this website, by phone or by mail. We use the website and receive a report immediately. It is so easy!
These days, credit reports are being used for everything from setting insurance rates to evaluating job candidates. So making sure your report is accurate can save you some money!
I suggest ordering your report from one company today and then you can still order from the other two companies at a later date! For example, one credit report every four months. This allows you to keep track of any changes or new information that may appear on your credit report.
