Monitoring your credit report along with your financial statements is one of the best ways to help detect identity theft on your accounts. It’s a snapshot of your financials and makes it easy to spot if somebody has accessed your accounts fraudulently.
The law requires the major nationwide credit reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, to give you a free copy of your credit report every 12 months if you ask for it.
