Credit Score Checking
Options

‎07-12-2007 12:28 PM

Is it wise to use these products to constantly check your credit score? I see people saying how they want to be able to update and check their score daily like TrueCredit. But I thought checking your score had a negative effect on your credit report? I don't understand, can somebody explain how these products work.

Only ScoreWatch monitors your FICO score -- and that's only for Equifax.
