Do you know your credit score? Did you know that incorrect information on your credit report can have some pretty huge effects on your future loans? freecreditscore.com is a website available for US residents to access their credit score information, learn more about their credit score and how to plan for major life events.
While having credit cards is fantastic for building a credit history did you know that having several credit cards might actually harm your score? Life is easier when you can see how your financial decisions—like applying for a loan or credit card—could affect your Credit Score. The Score Planner on freecreditscore.com lets you see how your choices will affect your Score, and if they will negatively affect your credit. The Score Planner is to both members and non-members.
The Score Planner asks you a series of basic questions about your loans and credit cards. I’m proud to say that after answering the questions on the Score Planner, I’m seen as a very low risk! Yay me! The section on the site titled Why Credit Matters is an awesome resource that explains why you should celebrate being a low risk, and understanding what changes your score to help ensure it stays healthy throughout your life.
