In the introduction, I'm mentioning a few services you can use to monitor your credit report for free. Doing this regularly will allow you to catch any mistakes or fraud that can damage your credit. It's also a good way to see an estimate of your credit score, which is very useful when doing app-o-ramas.
The service I use is Credit Sesame. It basically offers tools for tracking information about my credit accounts, current loans I have, and my assets. It also has a goal tracker to help with setting financial goals, such as do a major purchase or take out an auto loan. The site uses the information to calculate an estimated credit score, and summarize the amount of debt and assets I have. There's also a similar site called Credit Karma. For more information about these two sites, check out this guide by Grant Thomas.
