Cheapest Way to Check Credit Reports?
I was just wondering if anyone checks their credit reports on a
regular basis?
Identity theft seems to be increasing- reports have tripled this year.
Many of the new cases are web-related. In polls of Web excecutives, it
seems that a full 64% are fearful of having their own
identities/accounts stolen or hacked. Of course, one of the main
recommended steps is to order credit reports from all 3 major credit
reporting agencies at least once yearly. This could get expensive if a
couple orders reports for both people every six months. That is 12
reports at $8/each = $96/year.
Anybody know of a cheaper way to do this?
-I don't think you need to get reports from all 3 agencies twice a year.
Unless there is some problem, the agencies will all report the same
data. I get a report every six months from one of the agencies, and a
full 3 agency report about once eve
