Know your credit score
Jun 20th, 2010 by Vinny
If you are looking at credit, or are worried about it, you need to check your credit report and get a FICO score. The government has mandated the credit bureau’s to give out free credit reports once a year through the portal annualcreditreport.com. If you want to know your FICO score or get credit monitoring, I suggest myfico.com.
The credit scores from the three main guys do not give an accurate representation of what your score is. They use an internal scale, so you could have a 720 score from say Experian, but its really 650 on the Fair Isaac scale, which is what matters.
The more you know!
