Is it worth paying to get your credit report?

Question

Accepted Answer

It may be beneficial to check your credit report sometimes and pay the few bucks required to do so. If, on the other hand, your accounts are up to date and your usage of credit is appropriate, paying about twenty dollars to receive a detailed report on your credit history is, for all intents and purposes, a waste of money.

This expenditure may be considered reasonable for the following two reasons: The first justification for doing so is if you are contemplating making an application for significant finance, such as a mortgage or an auto loan. The second reason is that you have let your debt get out of hand and now you want to get back in charge of it.
