Very often it is commonplace that Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion or all of the three have your information reported and reflected on your credit report inaccurately. Inaccurate information can be your current residence, past residences, the current balance of a credit card, or even the showing of you making a late payment on one of your credit cards. This of course will most certainly adversely affect you with respect to your credit favorability and thus ability to obtain credit. At the very least, this will unnecessarily cost you a much higher interest rate.

It is your responsibility to monitor your credit and report inaccurate information. For this reason, it goes without saying that if you are anticipating a financing situation, you should be checking your credit at a minimum of one month in advance. The three sites that we recommend to our clients are www.CreditCheckTotal.com, www.PrivacyGuard.com, and www.IdentityGuard.com.

In reality everyone should have an ongoing account and routinely check their report for inaccurate information. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1970, (FCRA), the credit bureaus have an obligation to accurately report your credit information.
