09.04.09 | Improve Your Credit Score
Improving your credit score is a hot topic these days. Several weeks ago I posted an article entitled Would You Rather Have a Higher FICO or SAT Score. And while the views were mixed on which was more important all agreed that both were equally relevant. Of course this is not an either/or proposition. You can have your cake an eat it too. Most just need a little guidance.
Generally speaking students know how to improve their SAT score, but are unsure how to go about building a solid credit foundation. There are some simple steps you can take to build your credit score while in school, but there are also some professional organizations you can use to check your FICO score and monitor changes in your account for free.
The first step is to get a copy of your credit report. Once you have your baseline you can form a plan of attack. If you need to fix or repair your credit there are services available to assist you. If you have limited to no credit, work on strengthening it. It’s your future. Make it a bright one.
