GRAYSLAKE – In an effort to help people focus on their finances after months of economic disparities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, state Sen. Melinda Bush, D-Grayslake, is highlighting a number of free credit reporting websites.
“The COVID-19 pandemic put unforeseen financial burdens on many families,” Bush said. “Credit reporting websites can be expensive, but it’s important to know your credit score. However, there are many free resources available, and I encourage people to take advantage of them.”
As Illinoisans across the state have experienced negative economic impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bush is encouraging everyone to check their credit scores and be aware of their finances. Everyone is now eligible to receive their weekly credit report for free through Equifax, Experian and TransUnion until April 2021. For information, visit www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
“Regularly checking your credit can allow you to take control over your finances and lead you to financial freedom,” Bush said.
