Will Y2K clean your credit slate? It could, but unlikely. Nevertheless it is
prudent to get a paper copy of your credit bureau report between now and the
end of this year. Then request another copy in January or February to make
sure all is well. This week the largest credit bureau introduced three new
services to help American consumers monitor their credit files. 'Equifax Credit
Profile', 'Equifax Sentinel' and 'Equifax Millennium Monitor' are designed to
help consumers understand their financial information, enhance their buying power and prepare for the new
millennium. These three new services will enable U.S. consumers, for the first
time, to order, view and monitor credit information about them directly from
Equifax's Web site. 'Equifax Credit Profile' enables consumers to enhance
their buying power by viewing the credit information businesses, banks and
employers use to make credit and employment decisions. 'Equifax Sentinel' will
inform consumers via a quarterly update if any new account, address, inquiry, public
record or collection information is posted to their credit profile. 'Equifax
Millennium Monitor' allows consumers to order a printed copy of their Equifax
Credit Profile as of early December 1999 and then receive a second copy as of
mid-February 2000. 'Equifax Credit Profile' is available for online delivery
for $8. 'Equifax Sentinel' is priced at $49.95 per year. 'Equifax Millennium
Monitor' is delivered via the U.S. Postal Service for $12.95. For more
