Especially after being a victim of identity theft, costumers should get a copy of their credit report every year. This is also a good idea in general. As mandated by Congress in the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, consumers are entitled to a free copy of their credit report, at their request, from each of the three companies once every 12 months. This is the official site for obtaining your credit report. Don’t be fooled by other sites.
