Follow on Google News | Free Credit Score Report - Government Mandates Free Credit Reports for All ConsumersThe federal government is currently offering all consumers the option of obtaining a free credit report once every year.
By: CreditReportsAndScores Aurora Lillo Editor of the "Get MY Credit Report" website -- http://www.GetMyCreditReport.biz -- pointed out; “...While this is a great resource for all consumers, many will find that viewing only one credit report per year does not give consumers ample information to stay up-to-date on their financial standing...” Three Reasons Why Receiving One Credit Report A Year Is Simply Not Enough: 1. While receiving one free credit report a year is better than never viewing one's report at all, it is almost impossible to improve one's financial standing without viewing more than one credit report per year. Most people should consider using this free report as a starting point in repairing their financial history. Even those that have a good score may still benefit from making a few simple changes. This free report may be used to view any negative aspects in one's financial history, whether those may be a debt in collections or credit cards that are nearing their limit. Once the negative factors influencing one's score has been determined, one can then begin to work towards fixing any imperfections. 2. A person that regularly checks their report is at a much reduced risk of becoming a victim of identity theft. While those that regularly check their credit report may also become victims of identity theft, they are at a much greater advantage of catching a theft early and rectifying the situation before it spirals out of control. A great deal of damage can be done to one's financial standing within the span of a year. In fact, someone that has a good score can easily find themselves with several fraudulent credit cards and/or loans that total thousands of dollars. However, someone that frequently checks their report will be able to spot a fraudulent debt and notify the proper authorities before their situation becomes dire. “... People that frequently check their report tend to be more financially responsible. In terms of financial standing, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance, many times, leads to one not being aware of how their debts, occasional late payments, and credit cards are truly affecting their financial history and credibility. As most people would agree, it is much easier to be aware of one's standing and make efforts to improve their score over time, than to find yourself in a difficult situation when attempting to obtain a home or other important loan...” added A.
