32% of Americans Haven't Checked Their Credit Report
Posted on Jun 22, 2007 by Michelle Pastor
According to a national poll by Bankrate, Inc, it’s true. Digital50.com reports that Bankrate also found that 45% of Americans don’t know their credit score. I can understand those not wanting to pay for a credit score, so it makes sense that a large percentage of Americans don’t know their credit score, but there’s no excuse for not checking a credit report. That’s just a part of being a responsible consumer by making sure there are no errors on your report and that your identity is not being used fraudulently.
A good way to check your credit report is to go to www.annualcreditreport.com and stagger the requests so you receive a report from a different credit reporting agency every few months. Truston makes it easy to remember which credit report to pull and what month to pull it so that you can check your credit reports year round for free.
