 TITLE: How to Remove Hard Inquiries From Your Credit Report CONTENT: Check Your Credit Report Regularly\n----------------------------------\nIt isn't common to find inaccurate information on your credit report, but it can happen. To avoid letting fraudulent and other erroneous information go unchecked, make it a goal to check your credit report regularly. Review what's listed and watch out for anything you don't recognize.\nAlso keep an eye on your credit score (you can check your FICO® Score☉ for free with Experian), and watch out for sudden drops that could indicate fraudulent activity, such as a bogus account opened in your name that's gone unpaid.\nIt's not always possible to prevent identity theft, but as you keep track of your credit history, you'll be in a better position to stop a difficult situation from getting much worse.
