Thanks for taking the time to add this to the wiki.

But one can easily go to the bureaus website and instantly access the report online. No need to call.

The exact links are on the forum somewhere. But they can be easily found by looking on the websites.
Were you referring to the Kmart thing?

Iv'e noticed that with Equifax and Transunion  you can begin initiating a dispute and you will be given access to your CR. However with Experian  you must  have the report number.

Just state you received AA. It does not have to be recent. It seems they do not check.
+1 I just called experian for my credit report. I said I was denied credit and they sent me my report. That denial was over 60 days ago! (Ink card that I really wanted )

So finally decided to make sure report is good after playing this game for a while.
Back when I was in HS my father added me to his card (Con Pres Plus) and it is still on my report. (Funny bec I am on one other of his cards [ink] and its not there...)
Either way he carries a high (50%) util rate. If I dispute it, how long until my score goes up?
Also, what is best/fastest way to dispute? I did experian online so far...

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Any better thread to bump?

Long story short, my county was part of the recent MOVEit data breach. They say my social may have been exposed.
Although the hackers officially deleted info from govts. and indicated they did, the county recommends caution etc. and are offering IDx credit monitoring free for 24 months.

1. Is it worth it to take them up on it?

2. Is there any other action to take? BH my credit report is clean.
Also, is it worth going through the process of freezing my credit lines etc?
