you are entitled to look at all three credit reports from the three major agencies free of charge. go to
annual credit report dot com
NOT free credit report dot com. that is a business trying to sell you stuff. at any rate, go on the first of january, or your birthday, an easy date to remember. or when you file taxes, which is when i check mine. it's a good idea to check once a year so that any funny business can be cleared up, any mistakes, etc. if you feel once a year isn't enough-perhaps you should look into lifelock or some such thing. but for most, unless you've had compromised info, once a year is plenty.
also, if you ever file for credit and are turned down, you can get all three for free-but i don't recommend waiting til then.
