It's a good practice to check your credit report at least once or twice a year. This allows you to stay up-to-date with your credit status and immediately spot and correct any inaccuracies that may negatively impact your credit score. If you have any 'bad credit 'marks on your file, it is useful to check the report more regularly, perhaps every other month, so you can see the effect of improvements you are making.
