We're excited to remind you that you have the right to access your credit report from all three major credit bureaus - Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - once every 12 months, absolutely free of charge, through AnnualCreditReport.com.

Pro Tip: You receive a free credit report from all three bureaus every year, which means you can check your credit every 4 months by rotating bureaus.

Why Check Your Credit Report?

Your credit report is like a financial report card. It provides a detailed summary of your credit history, including your payment history, credit accounts, inquiries, and more.

Regularly reviewing your credit report allows you to:

• Identify errors or inaccuracies that could impact your credit score.
• Detect early signs of identity theft or fraud.
• Understand your current financial standing and make informed decisions.

How to Get Your Free Credit Report:

1. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com: This is the only authorized website for free credit reports.
2. Request Your Reports: Follow the simple instructions on the website to request your reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
3. Review Your Reports: Take the time to carefully review each report for accuracy and completeness.
4. Address Any Issues: If you find any errors or discrepancies, follow the credit bureau's procedures to dispute them and ensure your credit report reflects accurate information.

Tips for Maximizing Your Credit Health:

• Monitor Regularly: Make it a habit to check your credit report annually, if not more frequently. You can stagger your requests from each bureau throughout the year for ongoing monitoring.
• Stay Informed: Understand what factors influence your credit score and take steps to improve it if needed. Paying bills on time, keeping credit card balances low, and avoiding unnecessary credit inquiries can positively impact your score.
• Protect Your Identity: Safeguard your personal information and be vigilant against identity theft. Regularly monitoring your credit report can help you detect unauthorized activity early on.

Your financial well-being is too important to overlook. By taking advantage of your right to a free annual credit report, you're empowering yourself to make informed decisions and protect your financial future.
