(ARA) - The current recession and credit crisis have made it harder than ever to get any type of credit. Anyone trying to qualify for an auto loan, mortgage or even a cell phone contract is finding that banks are requiring much higher credit scores to get even the most basic forms of credit. Now, more than ever, it's important to closely monitor your credit reports and your credit score.

Job losses are on the rise and adjustable mortgage rates are resetting in record numbers, so it's no surprise people are carrying higher credit card balances or falling behind on their payments. Doing this causes your credit score to drop, which makes it even harder to get the new credit you may desperately need.

Even if you're able to pay your bills on time and in full, you could see your credit score lowered. Credit card companies are lowering credit limits on many customers which, in itself, can lower your credit score.
Add to all of that the fact that identity theft is on the rise which means someone may be opening new accounts in your name and ruining your credit without you even knowing it.

Fortunately, there are services out there that can help you monitor your credit reports and keep your credit score as high as possible.
