Setting up annual reminders in…
Setting up annual reminders in iCal to request a credit report from each of the credit reporting companies every 4 months.
AnnualCreditReport
I just set up an iCal event to remind me to request a free annual credit report every 4 months from each of the three Credit Reporting companies: Experian, Equifax, TransUnion.
AnnualCreditReport.com : the official site to help consumers to obtain their free credit report.
I set the event to repeat annually 20 times, with an e-mail alert, and included the above URL in the mail so as to not get confused as to which is the real Credit Report request site. I wish they would have registered it as a .gov site. Those are a lot harder to spoof.
