Credit scores can make or break your financial future. And new research by Consumer Reports has found that those popular credit score apps that promise easy access to credit scores and reports can come with extra costs, heavy marketing, and collection of private information that may put users at risk.

On this webinar we talked about what we discovered about Credit Karma, Credit Sesame, Experian Credit Report, TransUnion: Score & Report, and MyFICO apps, and what you need to look out for if you are using one of them.

Here are a few links to underscore the things we talked about during the workshop.
