subject: Free Credit Report- Protect Your Credit At All Times! [print this page] Just about everybody I know recognizes that maintaining a decent credit score is particularly important. With a low score, a person would not even be able to purchase a candy bar on credit! Because of this, it's very important to get a free credit report frequently and check up on your situation... Not only to be certain that no company or bank made any blunders, but to also be certain that no one has fooled around with your identity! When was the last time you took a look at youe credit report? Even every coupe of months is a long time to wait between views, in my opinion. It is quite possible for you to obtain a free credit report tomorrow and have someone walk off with your identity in a week from now, completely killing your credit over the following six months, and by the end of the year, you're be in hot water with your credit situation! What would your response be if such a thing happened to you? The huge majority of people wouldn't be able to do much about it. You put in a claim against the charges and call the powers that be and it still almost certainly would take many years before your credit is back where it should be. Where would that leave you while waiting should you need to rent a house or apartment, obtain a car, or insurance, or need something else that demands your haviong good quality credit to obtain it? It's by no stretch of the imagination simple to merely file a claim against an account that was opened in your name and make it go away easily... There are nightmarish investigations involved to ensure that you aren't committing fraud. Who wants to get involved in a horrible situation like that? I can't imagine anyone that is sane wanting that to happen. That is why it's imperative to take a look at your credit report on a regular basis, if not more often than you've ever done so in the past. You can acquire a free credit report on-line easily, and yes, it really is free! I always make it a priority to examine my report every month and print it out to refer to it if needed... It could mean the difference between an easily managed life or a tense, dreadful existence! Is it worth the risk of not having a free credit report? 10
