Check Your Credit Report

When was the last time you checked your score???

Credit card companies and lenders rely on credit scores, which determine someone’s chances to borrow money — and how favorable the terms will be.

Check your own score yearly by ordering reports from the three major credit scoring companies: Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (www.experian.com), and TransUnion (www.tuc.com).

Notify the credit bureau of inaccuracies. Close accounts not in use. Request that late payments older than seven years be removed. Verify and update accounts and account numbers. Verify address and Social Security number.

How to Improve Your Score: Pay your bills on time. Reduce outstanding debt. Build up your savings. Don’t fall for illegal schemes that help you create a new credit identity.

Contact me once you have your score so we can create a plan to buy your 1st home!!!
