my credit, your credit, we've all got a credit report and a credit score,

than tape measures and scales, it's a computer rating. What's yours?
Don't fall prey to that "free cre$dit report" gimmick.
They're going to take your credit card, sign you up for a repeating charge
and then make you have to take action (translate: fight with them) to get
it undone. GO TO THE SOURCE. This company is one of the
actual credit reporting services, AND they'll sell you the info for all 3
major ones! 9 Bucks for 1 report or 30 bucks for all 3. Well worth
