In response to the COVID-19 crisis, you can now request your credit report at no cost once a week through www.annualcreditreport.com. They encourage everyone to review their credit report regularly, and in today’s circumstances it is even more important to be sure your credit information is up-to-date reported accurately and that there are no signs of fraud or identity theft.
Additionally, free services like Experian Boost can help maintain and improve credit scores as we work through this unprecedented time.
