Free Credit Scores!


Great news from Dow Jones Business Interactive LLC:

If you had a credit card anytime in the past 20 years, you can get no-cost credit monitoring from TransUnion, one of the big three reporting agencies. The freebie is part of a settlement of a class-action suit filed against TransUnion for selling customer profiles to third parties. The company denies wrongdoing.

Sign up and you'll get copies of your credit report and score as often as you like for six months (usual cost: $60), which can help alert you to any identity theft. To register, go to http://www.listclassaction.com/ or call 866-416-3470 by Sept. 24.

Another option are sites like CreditKarma.com and Eloan.com. Not credit cards required. I promise.
