 TITLE: Can Businesses Run My Credit Without My Permission? CONTENT: Get Your Free Credit Report\n---------------------------\nYou should periodically review your credit reports for hard inquiries and new accounts to make sure no one has opened an account in your name. You can get a free credit report from each of the bureaus once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com. Experian also offers free access to your Experian credit report online. Once you create an account, you can get an updated credit report once every 30 days, receive free credit monitoring (with notifications if there are major changes) and send a dispute from your online account for free.
