It’s that time of the year again!
Posted by Cap in Credit Related |I got an email from TransUnion a few days ago, reminding me that it has already been one year since I’ve requested a free credit report from them, due to that spiffy federal law from awhile back.
Anyhow it’s only a year for those of us in the west coast states, since if I remember it right, the benefit didn’t kick in till middle of the year for the rest of the country.
If you’ve already requested a free credit report, you should just go to each of the credit reporting agency’s respective site and access your account and request your report from there, it’ll make things easier.
I think I’ll hold off on the credit report as the last ones I’ve seen are about 4-5 months ago, I have a pretty good idea of where I’m standing right now.

You should still check every 4 months for unauthorized activity.

yeah I figure 6 months intervals are good enough for me. might change it as I use my credit more though..
I’m waiting a bit because I want to see if some of the things I’ve been doing lately will be reflected in the credit history or not.

Since you are allowed to get one free credit report from each of the 3 credit reporting agencies, it i will be best if you requested your credit report every 4 months.
