Free Credit Report Activity
2010
Cheap way of checking credit?
My wallet was stolen the other day along with my driver’s license and my credit cards, other IDs, etc. Although my social security card wasn’t in there, I decided to put a fraud alert on myself in case this thief tries to open up accounts on my name, etc.
I ran my free annual credit report for all three credit agencies to double check that I didn’t have any forgotten cards/accounts that this person could use.
However, I am told that I should check my credit monthly for at least one year to notice any suspicious activity on there.
Since I used up my free credit report, is there a way to check my credit reports again soon (and again, and again) for cheap or no money? I think it’s $30 to run all three and monthly that would be over $300.
Can crime victims or those whose identities might be in jeopardy (or any others) get some sort of special deal on checking credit reports frequently?
(I live in New York State, if that’s relevant)
MyFico has something called Scorewatch that runs $90 a year or thereabouts. It monitors your credit and you get an alert anytime a new account is opened or anytime someone checks your Equifax credit report (an inquiry). You can also set other criteria like anytime the balance on your credit card goes above x amount of dollars, etc. Then you can pull your Equifax report three times within the year with that package.
There are other similar products by other companies so you can do some checking around. This is the one I used when my box of checks disappeared in the mail.
