A coding issue caused the credit reporting agency to misquote credit worthiness for a small percentage of consumers.
Al Bingham, a loan officer at Momentum Loans in Salt Lake City, Utah, tells FOX Television Stations that consumers must find out if they took out any loans between March 17 and April 6. "This is a good opportunity to be aware of your credit score when you go out into the marketplace and you’re borrowing and you should be aware of what’s showing up on your credit. It’s good to pull a credit report to see what’s on there.

You can do that by going to annualcreditreport.
