Male VO: Shopping for a car… or a home? Applying for a job? Or just getting your finances in order? Well, then it's time to check your credit report.
Your credit report has information about your finances, bill payments, and bankruptcy history.  Businesses use your credit report to evaluate your application if you apply for a loan or a job.

Federal law says you can get a FREE copy of your credit report every year, from EACH of the three national credit reporting companies.
