Illinois Credit Union Foundation

Did you know that having too much debt (especially credit card debt) can significantly damage your credit score? It’s true. Once your credit score gets impacted, this can mean: - Higher interest rates on all types of loans, or even getting rejected for a home loan - Increased insurance premiums - Higher cell phone bills - An impact on your career, because some employers conduct financial background checks, and a poor financial history might make them think twice about hiring you.
