WHY SHOULD YOU REVIEW YOUR CREDIT REPORT? There’s numerous reasons: ID theft, accurate information, see what lenders know about you, etc. Under the FACT ACT (Free File Disclosure Rule of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act) each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — is required to provide you with a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months, if you ask for it. Fees may apply if other services in addition to the free credit report are requested (such as a credit score). Click here for more information.
