Consumer advocacy groups
recommend that you obtain a copy of your credit report at least once a
year to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud. The good news is
that you can now obtain your credit reports without cost or obligation
thanks to federal legislation.
Similarly, it is recommended that
you know what your credit score is when "shopping for credit
cards". A high credit score is often the key to obtaining the
best credit cards. You can instantly get your credit scores for free online.
