Free Credit Report - AnnualCreditReport.com
Well, I figured it was about time to check my credit report. Everyone is able to get a copy of their credit report once every 12 months free from each credit agency at AnnualCreditReport. I decided to stagger mine so that I could check one out every 4 months, so I will pull one in January, May, and then September. You don’t get a FICO or credit score but it does give you a chance to make sure nothing is wrong with it.
Anyway, I pulled mine this weekend and everything seemed to be good except one minor detail. One of my accounts had a minus sign or dash in front of the account number. I dunno if thats just the way American Express reports or if its a mistake. Other than that everything about that account is fine so its not causing any harm. I’m tempted to pull another report just to see if the other agencies have that dash as well. I guess since its not harming anything so I shouldn’t be worried. At any rate, if anyone knows if this is standard for amex leave a comment. I will probably call them this week.
