Monitoring your credit report and credit card statements very carefully is critical during this tough time, as credit complaints have spiked during the pandemic.

According to a new study just released by a consumer advocacy organization called U.S. Pirg, the number one complaint is credit reporting and credit repair services.

Complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have spiked 50-percent from March to June.

The big ones have been credit reporting mistakes or problems with debt collection, credit card company issues, or mortgage issues.
