Sabrina’s Money Matters

Today is a perfect day to give you a comprehensive list of links for all your credit needs. Sure I could just link to the various articles I’ve written that contain said links, but that would leave you doing legwork, and I’m all about doing that for you - that’s why you come here isn’t it? Simple, no hassle, drama free financial information? Ah well, I’ll hook you up anyways, free of charge. I’m that kind of girl.

Here’s how to get your credit report, it’s a how to article, so no links, just instructions and a step by step guide. And I’m sure you want to know how to dispute your credit online with Experian.

If you’ve read my other credit posts, you’ll have what you need for that.

I have no choice but to link to the guide on locking your credit report. Not to mention this list of places you probably frequent that allow potentially unsecure access to your credit information that can easily be taken advantage of. The comments on this article also proved informative as they included some other places you would never dream have private information.

Below is an excerpt from Get Your Credit Score posted back in September.

“The truth is, no matter how “bad” you may think your credit is, there is someone worse off than you. There are only 5 sites I would recommend for obtaining your credit score, and they won’t surprise you.

www.AnnualCreditReport.com
www.MyFico.com
www.Experian.com
www.TransUnion.com
www.Equifax.com

The first one listed, AnnualCreditReport.com will give you a copy of each of your credit reports once per year for free. MyFico.com will give you all three of your credit scores at once. Without subscribing to anything. As you would expect the individual sites will sell you their individual score. They all offer some sort of credit monitoring for a monthly service fee as well. The big difference between the sites of the actual companies including those listed above and those SCAMs I’ve talked about is how they get your money.

The sites I listed let you purchase your credit score without purchasing a service as well. The scams never give you the option of just getting your score and dealing with them only once.”
