I like to spread mine out so I can monitor throughout the year since I had an issue with identity theft a few years back.

It was from college, and I moved out, forgot the water bill was in my name, and never had the mail forwarded. Luckily it didn’t harm my score too much and I paid it in full, but I would not have realized without checking my report.

I hadn’t thought about making sure it’s correct – that’s a good idea. I wonder what ours would show..

I used to do this annually but forget the last or so. It’s definitely important to make sure everything is correct. I did find an inaccuracy…apparently some guy my same last name and similar first name…”Andy” instead of “Andrew. For whatever reason, some of his credit history was on mine. Luckily it wasn’t anything negative but I made sure to get that corrected. I also sent “Andy” a letter to let him know as it had his address listed someone, but I never heard from him.
