PSA: Don't forget to check your credit reports annually!

[ThreeofUs]

I hadn't checked mine in a couple of years, and thought others could use the reminder. Check to see if you have any fraud going on in your account. It's free once/year.

All three of the big credit-reporting firms now use one portal at:

Thanks so much! For some reason one of the 3 didnt work for me :/ but the other two did. Now need to get DH to do his!

here is a trick. Check it every four months for free by doing one at a time. For example, do Experian now, and in four months do TransUnion and another four months do Equifax. Then four months later, start again with Experian.

that way you get to keep an eye on it throughout the year.

Doh! Too late, I wish I had this kind of common sense....
