A: You should regularly review your credit scores and credit reports to ensure the information is accurate, uncover signs of fraud, and address errors that could adversely affect your scores. Q: Will checking my credit scores affect my scores? A: No. Checking your credit scores through the ScoreSense app or ScoreSense.com does not hurt your scores. Q: How does credit monitoring work?
