Dear Liz: One of your latest articles recommended checking your credit report. I tried doing this, but in order to get a free credit report, all of the sites requested that I sign up for credit monitoring and others services that cost money. How do I get a truly free credit report?
Answer: You go to the one and only site that offers the federally mandated free look at your reports: AnnualCreditReport.com. The other sites are lookalikes that play on consumer confusion to make a profit. Some are even openly flouting a new regulation that requires them to disclose they’re not the real deal. Steer clear.
