<reveal>
<p>Your credit score affects everything from the interest rate you get on a loan to whether a landlord is willing to rent you an apartment. With Microsoft Money, you get a year of free access to credit-tracking tools. Use them to keep a close eye on your credit score and make sure that you're the only person using your accounts.</p>

</extend>
<p>To sign up for credit tracking:</p>
<ol>
<li>On the <emph>Planner</emph> menu, click <emph>Credit Center</emph>.</li>
<li>Enter your user name and password, and click <emph>Update</emph>.</li>
</ol>
<p variant="impt">The sign-in information for your credit score is different from the information you use to sign in to your Money file. Use the name and password given to you by the credit-tracking company.</p>
