"Since the fall of 2005, consumers nationwide have been eligible to obtain a free copy of their credit report every year from each of

the three main credit reporting agencies - Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. There's a Web site, www.annualcreditreport.com

, but we recommend that people call the toll-free number, 877-322-8228. That's because there are about 50 impostor Web sites

out there - most of them selling subscription credit services - so it's important that people who want to use the Web site type the

name correctly.

"We suggest that people order a different one every four months. That way you're checking your credit year-round. If there are

mistakes or inaccuracies, notify the credit bureaus right away. They could be depressing your credit score, which means you may

be paying more to borrow than you should. Also look for suspicious activity. It could be an early sign of identity theft."
