Full Show: Alarming Football Season Money Danger And Why You Need To Check Your Credit Report | Clark Howard Video

Football season is here, and with it comes a massive warning: a silent addiction is costing people big. From micro-bets on your phone to illegal streaming platforms, the world of online gambling is more dangerous than ever. Clark shares a powerful message for anyone struggling and offers a path to rebuild. Also, are credit reporting agencies failing you? Complaints are skyrocketing, yet these bureaus treat you like a data point — not a customer. Clark reveals why it's more important than ever to check your credit reports for errors that could be costing you a job, higher interest rates, or expensive insurance premiums.

Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take. All this and more on the October 1, 2025, episode of The Clark Howard Show. Submit your questions: link
