Tip of the Day
Subscribe to a Credit Monitoring Service that will notify you if any changes are made to your credit report. Although getting your credit report every 6 months is a good idea, an identity thief can do a lot of damage in 2 hours, 2 days, or 2 weeks! Reviewing your report every 6 months just isn't enough. By subscribing to one of these services, you can be proactive and help prevent an identity theft event from ruining your credit!
Today's Story
"I applied for a loan in November 2000 and was told I had bad credit. I requested a credit report in November 2000 and found all sorts of crazy information on it. I'm single but was listed as married. When I renewed my driver's license by mail, I was surprised to find someone else's face on my license. This is a nightmare and requires a large amount of my time." - From a consumer complaint to the FTC, October 5, 2001
