FINANCIAL: CREDIT REPORTS,
CREDIT CARDS
Most people know that their credit
score is used to determine the interest rate they pay on mortgages,
car loans, and credit cards. But in today's economy, your credit
score is also used by insurance companies and potential employers to
decide whether you get insurance or a job offer. And if you're a
renter, your credit score is used by most landlords.
This is why every adult should
monitor their credit score and credit file to make sure that it is
accurate. Mistakes are fairly common and they are usually easy to
fix, but you have to watch for them so you will have time to get
them fixed before applying for loans, insurance, or a new job. (This
usually takes 30-60 days.)
Use the Credit Reports link below
to get a 7 Day Trial for only one dollar. When the trial has ended,
it only costs $19.95 per month to continue monitoring your credit
file and score.
After you have verified that your
credit score and credit file are accurate, use the free Credit Card
Match service below to find a credit card with lower rates and/or
better rewards than the card you are currently using. (There is no
obligation for this: you don't have to accept any credit cards they
match you with.) If you do get another card, don't cancel the old
one or your credit score may drop; just stop using the old card.
