(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- This is the weekend to reset your clocks for an extra hour of daylight and it's a great time to shed some extra light on what's in your credit report.
The Better Business Bureau urges you to check at least twice a year to detect problems and to ensure that your personal and financial information have not been compromised.
Your credit report significantly impacts your everyday life from job applications to the interest rates you pay on major purchases to help detect and protect against data breaches.
You're allowed free weekly online credit reports from the three major credit reporting firms.
Visit https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action or ftc.gov to request yours.
