Know Your Credit Score

Now that you know how important your credit score is, let's talk about how you can find your score online. Americans are entitled to one free credit report within a 12-month period from each of the three credit bureaus.

To get your free credit reports, you can head on over to FreeScoresUSA. If you have already checked your credit reports this year, you may be charged a small fee to find your credit score. Fees can range from $10 to $40, depending on the site you use to find your credit score.

There are also several credit monitoring services that allow you to check your credit score on a monthly basis and will actively notify you of any changes to your score. These services can be a valuable tool and a way to measure your progress over time. However, these services are not free, so you would need to pay a monthly fee to keep monitoring your credit. To sign up for this service, you can visit FreeScoresUSA
