Today I'm going to tell you how you can check your credit file for free and I'm also going to share with you a couple of reasons why it's super important to check your credit file at least once a year.If you apply for any form of credit then it's highly likely that the lender you're applying to will turn to one of the three main credit reference agencies for some information about you and how you've managed credit in the past.Credit comes in all sorts of different forms - it could be a mortgage, a car loan, a new mobile phone contract or even paying an insurance policy monthly rather … [Read more...]
