Manage episode 428518705 series 3317846
Whether you are applying for a new cell phone plan or a mortgage, your potential creditors want to understand your financial history and your ability to repay debt. Your credit score and report will help them decide whether they want to do business with you. But most people don’t know a lot about their credit report and credit score. Today’s podcast looks at the difference between the two and how you can improve your score. Licensed Insolvency Trustee, Brenda Wood, also covers the following topics:
- Why you should be checking your credit report often
- The difference between a hard and soft credit hit
- What shows up on a credit report
- How scores are calculated and why they fluctuate
- What is a credit rating and where it appears
- Things you can do to improve your score
Licensed Insolvency Trustees are federally regulated and follow a strict code of ethics as well as government regulations. From budgeting to Bankruptcy, you can be assured of unbiased, non-judgemental advice.
