Credit Education
Credit is an important aspect that affects every adult life. It is extremely important to check your credit in order to ensure its accuracy. Credit reports and scores are used by lenders to make decisions about whether or not to extend a loan to you. It may also be used to verify that you are eligible for an extension of credit for a wireless phone service, renting an apartment or even obtaining a job.

Each of the three major credit bureaus offer a service
they often refer to as a credit monitoring service, which allows you to
check your credit report and score anytime you want, and even alerts you
by e-mail if there is a significant change to your credit information. Credit
monitoring services are especially popular with anyone who has ever been
or has a fear of becoming a victim of fraud. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission
says it takes 12 months, on average, for a victim of identity theft to notice
the crime. A credit monitoring service will alert you, usually daily or
weekly, to changes in your credit — helping you to stop the theft
before it gets out of control.
