NEWS ABOUT YOUR CREDIT Check your credit reports for free. One of the best ways to protect yourself from identity theft is to monitor your credit history. You can get one free credit report every year from each of the three national credit bureaus. Request all three reports at once, or order from a different bureau every four months. More comprehensive monitoring services from the credit bureaus cost from $44 to $100 per year. Order your free annual credit reports by phone, or online at www.annualcreditreport.com.
