When you look at your report, the activity should look familiar. Credit reports show, in detail, all credit usage, payment activity and court actions taken based on those accounts. Reviewing and understanding your credit report is a key part of being financially responsible. With online scammers continuing to target new victims and hackers around the world inventing new tactics to gain access to your financial information, free access to your credit profile can help you keep a close eye on your accounts. Previously, you could only request a free copy of your credit report once a year from each credit agency. This program was set to expire in 2023, but the Federal Trade Commission announced in October that it would become permanent. You can now receive weekly credit reports from each of the three major credit bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax and Experian.
Accessing your credit report has never been easier.
