(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- In just two short weekends we will be falling back and re-setting clocks. This is a timely reminder to check your credit.
After you re-set your clocks from Daylight Saving Time, the Better Business Bureau recommends you check your credit report.
It’s best to check at least twice a year to detect problems early and ensure your vital personal and financial information has not been compromised, which could leave you open to identity theft.
Your credit report significantly impacts your everyday life. It will determine your mortgage rate or if you succeed in renting an apartment.
Be proactive. Everyone is allowed a free credit report each week from the 3 major credit reporting firms. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com or FTC.gov to request yours.
