Yes, you are legally entitled to a free credit report from all 3 major credit reporting companies (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) Here is what I did: Go to www.annualcreditreport.com find your state and then enter your information and you can get the 3 free reports. You can even sign up to have them remind you next year when you are able to view your new annual updated report You will not need to enter your cc information UNLESS you also want your credit SCORE, but it will give you the REPORT which has all the accounts you have opened and what their status is, whether they are in collections or in good standing and you can see who has all requested your credit info. You will need to answer some questions to verify you are really you, it's easy and legally you are entitled to it.
Yes each of the 3 credit bureaus have an option to fill out their request form, mail in 2 pieces of ID and you'll get your report within 10-14 days. Just check their websites.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
