Credit Reports Will Now Be Free (link goes to
Plain Dealer article)
You've probably already heard about this, it's been fairly well publicized, but just in case you haven't, as of March 1st Ohio has been included in the national rollout of states whose inhabitants are eligible for free credit reports. You can get them
here.
I gave this a whack yesterday, getting a report from just one of the three credit bureaus as recommended by the PD article. Once on the selected credit bureau site you need to have some information at hand to verify you are indeed who you claim to be. I was asked to choose two out of three catagories; existing credit card info, previous addresses, or previous loan account numbers. You also have to create a login user/password. After completing that process the report was made available, along with come-ons for further services at a fee. Bit of a hassle but, I think, well worth the trouble.
