Managing Your Credit

 

(November 2011) Do you know your credit score and what factors raise or lower it? Do you know how to "dispute" an error on your credit report that could be suppressing your credit score? Understanding these and other critical credit issues is the foundation of consumer credit management.

 

Having real-time access to your personal credit information is the first step in managing your credit. New generation consumer credit management websites offer unprecedented value to consumers, who just 15 years ago were at the mercy of confusing, hard-to-read credit reports. It's a whole new world of rapid access, easy-to-use navigation, and real-world advice.

 

Online credit management websites offer real-time access to your credit report and credit score, dynamic tools to help you understand how your credit score is determined, comprehensive credit education, fraud protection, "lost wallet" credit card cancellation services, online disputing of credit report errors (a much faster process than mailing hard copy disputes) and other convenient services.

 

If a low credit score is keeping you from getting financing when you need it and at the best possible rates, then managing your credit online is a wise move. You'll be able to see the progress of your credit score as you work to improve it, and online disputing helps fix errors quickly. Do you have a high credit score and want to protect it? Online credit management allows for frequent monitoring, email pings when inquiries are made on your credit, fraud and identity theft protection, and other services that can save you time and money.
