Most agencies only report changes once a month anyway.

This site will not automatically update your scores for you. You need to click on the link by your score to perform an update (then agree to the terms and conditions). You can pull an update to your score up to once per day, but it is an action to be performed by the user, not something that is automated.

Due to regulations (not sure if it is from the Fed. gov or the credit agencies) to access your credit for free once every 12 months. Any more than that, you have to pay for the reports. An exception may be if you are denied a loan due to credit, you can request a copy then to see why you may have been denied.

Also, them more you update your score, the more Credit Karma has to access your report. Each time your credit report is looked at, it lowers the score, you don't want to have it updated often.
