Free Credit Report

Here's a follow up on the Frank Abagnale's Stealing Your Life. You can get a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com

The government requires each major firm to give you a free report each year. This site is the location they use.

There are other sites, but they are likely to try to sell you something. He suggests that you get one report at a time about three months apart. While you can get a free credit report, to get your credit score, they will charge you. If you need to repair something, I suggest you buy the book. If it is major, go to a firm which specializes in identity theft repair. Another thing: he says the insurance for sale to protect against Identity theft isn't worth much because it doesn't really help the individual.
