(1) You're entitled to one free copy of your credit report every year, which you can request online at AnnualCreditReport.com(2) For information on understanding your credit report, go here:

http://learn.equifax.com/credit/credit-report. It's provided by Equifax and it's a very straightforward explanation of each item in a credit report.
