One good way to keep an eye on your progress building credit is to check your credit score monthly. You can do this with a LendingTree Spring account — and many issuers provide your credit score for free as well.
In addition, federal law guarantees that each of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) must provide you one free copy of your credit report per year. You can get these reports from annualcreditreport.com. And, during the coronavirus pandemic, the bureaus have been providing free reports on a weekly basis.
