you can get your credit report from only one agency for free.. but you have to call and cancel within 30 days or else you'll get billed.

What to check for? Well your score.. and the reasons it lists as to why your score is high or low.

^ha.. I WISH I had a 700.. I got 580 right now. Mainly cuz all three of my cards are maxed out and I got hella student loans.

You're safe with a 600 score. Thats what most banks and renters place the bar as far as who they'll give a loan to/let rent an apt. If you talk to any landlord, they'll require a 600 credit score. So ya, I gotta step my credit game up.

Yea.. and they really don't make that obvious. It might have been somewhere in the fine print, but, I was surprised and confused when I got billed a month later.

AnnualCreditReport.com is free without all that bs having to cancel shit. It only gives you your report though and not your credit/FICO score.

i ordered up a credit report , not my score but just to see what was going on.

now here is where i was confused...i received my credit report in the mail from equifax only it was to a different first name "Samuel". it had same last name and when i looked at the activity it showed stuff that i only applied for (macys , my bank cc, etc...)

why would my name show up different? im positive no one has my identity. do they sometimes make mistakes?

i also got a diff letter from equifax sayin the information i submitted is different the one on file and send a copy of this and that to prove whatever. but they already sent me my credit report , so? i dunno man...

when i can get copys of what there asking for im just going to send it in and hope it gets updated.i believe they want a pic of license, ssn card and a bill in my name (which i dont got so im stuck.. a nigga only 19 shit) i hope that different name dont hurt me somewhere in the long run.

freecreditreport.com or through one of your credit card companies that offer it. I got a Washingtion Mutual CC and they gave me a free year of credit reports. I check my credit score every month.
