Free Credit Reports Weekly till April 20th, 2022

• Order your free credit report. Go to AnnualCreditReport.com or call 877-322-8228. Until the end of the pandemic,
everyone in the U.S. can get a free credit report each week from all three national creditbureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion).
• Read the reports carefully. Do you recognize the accounts? Do they list credit applications? Did you apply for credit at those places?
• Spot mistakes. Fix anything that looks wrong (read more about how). But if it looks like someone else is using your credit,
go to IdentityTheft.gov to report it and get a recovery plan.
• Spot a credit repair scam. If a credit repair company asks for money up front, or tells you not to contact the credit bureaus
yourself, that’s probably a scammer.
Look, it’s been a tough time, and it’s hard to get back on track. But you can take steps to rebuild your credit. Only time and a plan to pay off
debt will improve your credit, but with free credit reports available every week, it’s a good time to take a small step towards recovery.
