Most American's don't know, have never heard or don't care they are entitled to a "free credit report" one per year.
Why is it vital for you to receive your free credit report?
freecreditreportgov - You have no idea, if or what, if you never check your own credit file, inaccuracies are present. There may be entries that have a critical effect on your ability to get credit, may affect your interest rates on unsecured loans and credit cards, and could prevent you from obtaining employment. If inaccuracies exist, under federal law, you possess the right to get them corrected.
Should you find your report includes inaccurate information, the agency must correct it.
If an item is incomplete, the company must complete it. Examples include payments, no longer late, or if you had a bankruptcy 12 years back, and it is still reported, you may request the agency update your report. Bankruptcy usually stays on your report ten years.
There is only one site authorized under the law to control and provide the free annual credit report application... annualcreditreport.com. Several other websites, trying to make the most of the law, claim to offer, "free credit reports." The customer must be conscious; these businesses aren't part of the program.
Companies offering free reports requiring you sign up for their tracking service, also contain the three reporting services, and are charging fees up to $30.00 per month.
You really do not need to register for it to get a free report, should you not need credit monitoring. These businesses supply a service for which they are making a fortune luring consumers to their website under the assumption of receiving free reports. They will give you a free report, but you should provide your private details to all and register for their support to become one.
If you do not desire credit monitoring, and you need to pay a monthly cost to obtain a free credit report, it is not free.
To receive your free report, visit annualcreditreport.com. Don't contact some of the three reporting agencies. By law, they are required to provide free annual credit reports just through annualcreditreport.com.
You do not get your own credit score, it is about $8.00 and may be obtained from the reporting credit agency. It is not a part of your free credit report. Based in your report, you can determine if you need to pay for your credit score.
Most important, you will understand where you stand in relation to your credit worthiness in planning your current and future credit health.
