Well worth getting a copy and hanging on to them for comparisons each year, in my opinion.


I've been using this website for about 5 years. In my case, I pull one report every 4 months, and compare the results. Since there are 3 major credit reporting agengies, you can get a pretty good idea of what's going on with your credit. Most the the agengies track the same data, so I can check each agency once a year.

Thanks for posting this, Mark! This was a great reminder!
