Whether you are married, or are planning to get married, you should be aware of your credit history, as has been reported to major credit monitoring companies. The majority of disagreements among couples settles around one of four hot topics: money, sex, communication and inlaws. In order to get off to a good start (or maintain a healthy financial relationship), we recommend that couples request their credit reports annually, and review them together.
Financially, there should be no secrets between spouses, or those planning to marry.
AnnualCreditReport.com is the official site to help consumers to obtain their free credit report. The central site allows individuals to request a free credit file disclosure,
commonly called a credit report, once every 12 months from each of the
nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and
TransUnion. The site is sponsored by these three credit reporting companies, and is truly free!
