Check Your Credit
By: Kristin Penner, Director
Have you checked your credit lately? False claims of unemployment have caused a lot of concern over the past few months in Kansas so now is your chance. One in five people have an error on at least one of their credit reports according to a study conducted by the federal trade commission. Why not check your credit for free?
Credit reports affect many different aspects of your life, including ability to get a loan, rates for loans and insurance, and more. The Family Resource Management Program Focus Team is encouraging you to sign up for K-State Research and Extension’s Check your Credit email program.
The program is designed to remind you to check your credit report three times during the year on February 2, June 6, and October 10. You will also receive periodic emails with information about how to understand your credit report, how to correct errors, and use your credit report to you advantage.
