Did you know that by law you are allowed, every 12 months, to get your credit report for free from each of the three credit reporting companies? It is recommended that you check these reports in order to make sure they are correct and most importantly, to see if anyone has stolen your identity.
AnnualCreditReport.com is the only authorized website that is truly free. Beware of other sites that promise this service because they usually come with stipulations like fees. If you see anything suspicious, you will need to contact the credit reporting agency. For more information, take advantage of MyCreditUnion.gov, which is a free website brought to you by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This site is an excellent resource for all your financial literacy needs.
If you have any financial questions or concerns, we are always here to help. Send us a quick email by filling out the Request Information box on the right, give us a call or you are always welcome to make a personal visit.
