I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is what we've been doing anyways -- one from different bureaus. @MLR: Yea I pretty much just try to remember Jan 1, May 1, and Sept 1. @BusyMom: That’s genius!

Just wrote a similar post :) I do what "Busy Mom" mentioned... I created 3 annual events in Outlook for each bureau. They are spaced out every 4 months for maximum coverage. Once a year I MAY pull my score to see where it lies. A lot of times I actually find a coupon code or a promotion that lets me get it for free. For instance, this past year myfico was giving out free scores to the first x people who signed up on their forums. MLR Kevin –

This is how I handle our monitoring as well. I received this tip from Suze Orman in one of her publications. To help me, I put it on my calendar for the year. As an extra precaution, I rotate the ones I get. So, in February, I pulled my TransUnion and my husband's Experian. Then in June, I am scheduled to pull my Experian and my husband's Equifax. By rotating, I can view all 3 reports in 4 months. Since most of our accounts are joint, I would see a problem if it arose. Keep up the great writing! Kevin,
