How to Save Up to $3,000 a Year
The Leak: Paying for Credit Reports
The fix: The Web abounds with ads for free credit reports, but many sites try to get you to pay extra for fancier reports. Federal law entitles you to a free credit report from each of the three major bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion (annualcreditreport.com). One thing to be aware of: A credit report will show your payment history and any identity-theft activity, but it doesn't include the all-important credit score. For that, go to myfico.com, a site operated by Fair Isaac Corporation, the company that originated the credit-score system most lenders use. A simple credit score costs $16.Savings: $30 or more.
