If you do not keep your bills as they arrive, you can get one credit report for free every 12 months. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com. There, you will need to enter some personal information and answer some questions to get your report. Remember, you can only get one free one every 12 months. Sometimes you will receive a message that says they cannot provide your report on the website, but you can get it by mail. Do not despair! Simply print out the form, fill it out, and mail it in with the required proof of identity, and your report will soon come in the mail. Just that simple. Not everything will be on your report, and each of the three reports may be a little different, but together you should get a good idea of everyone you owe.
Still have questions? Ask an attorney! Remember, only an attorney can give you legal advice!
