    Default best credit watching services?

    In another thread here it was mentioned that it's potentially a good idea to hire a service to provide notification if there has been any activity on your credit record. I've seen ads and offers for a couple of services that have offered it; are there any to watch out for, and any recommended ones? I belong to US Bank -- I know that offer some sort of permutation of that service, but I wanted to ask DD too.

    Just order the service directly from the Credit Bureaus themselves.

    http://www.transunion.com
    http://www.experian.com
    http://www.equifax.com

    I think the service prices run from $5.95 a month to $9.95 a month. This is a good idea because you won't have to keep pulling your credit report all the time. You know when any new activity shows up (new accounts or new collections, etc). We do it and it's totally worth it's cost. We had two collections that showed up that were WRONG and have long since been paid. We disputed them immediately and they got corrected/deleted. Otherwise, we may not have found them until we went to apply for credit somewhere...and at that point, it's a little too late.
