Importance of Good Credit

 

Cleaning Up Your Credit Record

 
 
 
If you have been having credit difficulties, keep in mind that it takes time to rebuild good credit. You must demonstrate responsible credit behavior each day as you spend, and each month as you pay your bills.
Improving Your Credit Record

Here are some steps you can take to improve your credit record:

  • Make payments on time, and make at least the minimum monthly payments.
  • Limit the number of credit accounts you have, your total available credit, and how much of the available credit you use.
  • Request a copy of your credit report once a year. This way, you can promptly clear up any errors that may appear on your report. Find out how to get a free copy of your credit report.
