For some reason, they didn't like my answer and requested that I order my credit report through the mail and provide proof of my identity. What a bother!
BUT....
What if someone else has opened an account using my identity? (Identity theft happens all the time, ya know.) The only way to find out is by checking ALL of your free annual credit reports!

Great lens there! Posted May 03, 2008 |
I thought my article on how to read your credit report might be useful.
How To Read A Credit Report is part 1 in Top Internet Guide's new Mastering FICO series, where we explain everything you need to know in order to manage your credit.
I hope the information in this guide proves valuable for your readers.

So far as I know, there is absolutely no problem with ordering a credit report through the channels set up by the Federal Trade Commission in compliance with the Congressional mandate to receive these reports. Feel free and safe when you click on www.ftc.gov (which provides a link to the official site) or www.annualcreditreport.com to order your free credit report.
The many web sites that offer free credit reports are probably mostly benign. But do you need to have your personal information and especially your Social Security number floating out there among so many unknown parties? Hardly seems necessary where there is a relatively secure (well yes, there is that Experian thing) government sponsored web site.
