Annual Credit Report and Free Annual Credit Report


Getting an annual credit report review has been the advice of many financial managers as they guided their customers to be aware of all information on credit reports. Would the idea of a free annual credit report be good news? Consumers are thrilled with the new federal mandate that demands the three major national credit bureaus offer a free annual credit report to anyone requesting copies of their personal credit reports. An annual credit report is available from each of these bureaus.

In the past, an annual credit report would cost a consumer about $9 each. And, considering that each of the credit reports from the three major bureaus could be different, consumers found it simpler to avoid the issue of credit repair. Those consumers that had been denied credit could, however, obtain a copy of their credit report from the bureau that offered the low credit score. This would allow the consumer to see the reason for a low score. But now, with identity theft on the rise, consumers are being urged to keep an eye on their reports, even if there has been no reason to suspect misinformation. An annual credit report review is the future of credit management.

Identity theft can occur swiftly and go undetected for months. With a free annual credit report, consumers can now monitor their credit reports for unauthorized activities that may be occurring on their charge cards or banking accounts. With a free annual credit report, consumers can also watch their credit report closely for criminals attempting to obtain a credit card with their credit information. A free annual credit report will definitely help consumers in an offensive attack against identity theft.

The free annual credit reports available can be downloaded over the Internet. Consumers need to go the Annual Credit Report website and follow instructions for receiving their own free annual credit report. The annual credit report web page will also give consumers a telephone number to request reports by phone, and an address to send written request to. At this time two thirds of the United States can access this annual credit report, and by September 1, 2005, free annual credit reports will be available to the entire U.S. Take control of your credit history statements by downloading your free annual credit report today.
