Why it’s good to check your credit score on a regular basis

Just like reading or checking your bank statement, your credit report is something worth looking at on a regular basis.

Not only can you see your progress but you’ll be able to spot any errors easily and keep an eye out for any fraudulent activity.

The key things to check are:

• Hard and soft searches
• Account information
• Payment history
• Financial associations

If you spot anything weird make sure you contact your lender and the relevant credit referencing agency to rectify the error.
