Order a report from one of the 3 agencies once every 4 months (encourage spouse/partner, adult kids to do the same). It’s a good way to monitor your report to be sure info is accurate and to catch ID theft early in the event someone else gets credit in your name or steals your identity.
“This central site allows you to request a free credit file disclosure, commonly called a credit report, once every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.”
