Your Credit Report: Just One Thing To Do

Our one task for you this month is to check your credit report and make sure everything on it is accurate.

As we’ve covered, your credit report is a summary of your history with debt and credit. (If you’re still fuzzy on how credit works, join us Tuesday Feb 27th for a quick live event all about maximizing your credit score.) But did you know it’s up to YOU to make sure everything on yours is accurate? If there’s something on yours you don’t recognize, it could be a mistake or it could be identity theft – either way you want to catch it as soon as possible.

We’ve got a quick explainer right here that will tell you how to get a copy of your credit report (for FREE) and what to look out for (and no, it won’t hurt your credit to look at your own report)
