We all know how important it is to have a good credit score, but do you know how to check it? Lenders will request a copy of your credit report when you apply for a loan, but you can also check on your own once each year from each of the three main credit reporting agencies. This will help you get a better grasp on your current position, as well as allow you to detect fraudulent activity. To get your free credit report, you can visit AnnualCreditReport.com, or contact each credit bureau individually.
