Check Your Credit Report at Least Once a Year

Tom Kjar

So, what’s on #yourcreditreport? You have a pretty good idea what a credit report is – (psssst … it shows how #creditworthy you are) – but do you know what’s included in your credit report? The correct answer is no, you probably don’t.

Well, remember way back, that store credit card you had so much trouble paying on each month? Is that “trouble” still on your credit report and dragging #yourcreditscore into the sub-basement? Or maybe it’s that used car that was repossessed. The used car you never bought! So, you couldn’t have not paid on the loan, because you never took out a #carloan for the car you didn’t buy! It has to be a mistake! Exactly.

And that’s why you should check your credit report at least once a year. You might be surprised what you find.
