To help guard against identity theft, monitor your credit report at least annually. Obtain one free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com every 12 months from each of the three consumer credit reporting agencies.
You may request all three reports at one time each year, or choose to review one report every four months. Set a calendar reminder to remember when to request your next report. Reviewing your credit report is quick and easy.
In addition, when reviewing your report, if you notice a credit account that you are no longer using, consider closing the account. |
