Credit scores, reports, and ID theft protection

In this section we’ll be exploring sites to look up credit reports and scores. Free sites are ideal for most people if they’re looking up their own so we’ll cover most of that before anything else. Keep in mind that you can’t legally look up someone else’s credit report, or credit score without proper authorization.
Now, how about a site that lets you check your credit score for free without even needing a credit card? Yes, you heard me correctly. A site which lets you do all that, and more, does exist.  Here, it's possible to get a completely free credit score. It can also help protect you from identity theft as well. Here are a few facts to know about id theft.

• Identity theft can be thwarted by artificial intelligence analysis of a user's mouse movements 95% of the time. This is because unexpected security questions take more time for the liars to think about and respond to.
• A large percentage of id theft is through someone you know, and children are especially vulnerable to it.
