i'm not sure if the forum's rules allow me to link to an outside site. but just google "free annual credit report." it's the one right below the sponsored links (which are not the govt approved sites!!!). it's called the "annualcreditreport"
AnnualCreditReport.com
remember, you only get 1 per year from all 3 companies. so, use 1 every 4 months and you will yearly coverage of your credit.
