Credit reports may affect your mortgage rates, credit card approvals, apartment requests, or even your job application. Reviewing credit reports helps you catch signs of identity theft early.

Typically, federal law allows you to get a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each credit reporting company and ensure that the information on all of your credit reports is correct and up to date.
