Credit Score Monitoring Services 

The basics of credit monitoring

In today’s world, a lot of things depend on your credit—loan approvals, insurance premiums, even the success of job applications. Having a good grasp on your credit can help you get ahead in life and save you time and money. While checking your free annual credit report is always a good idea, year-round credit score and report monitoring is equally important.

What is credit monitoring?

A credit monitoring service acts as both a personal assistant and watchdog when it comes to your credit. TransUnion’s credit report monitoring service gives you frequent access to your credit history, so you can check your credit report as often as you like. It watches your credit reports and alerts you whenever there are changes to any of your accounts, such as new accounts being opened in your name, a credit card balance increase, or negative information like a late payment reported by one of your creditors. This helps you stay on track with maintaining a healthy credit score.
