CREDIT

SCORE

Credit Reports are detailed accounts of an individual’s credit history officially prepared by credit bureaus. Lenders such as banks, car dealers, and landlords refer to credit reports to determine a person’s creditworthiness when applying for a loan, mortgage, or credit card. The three major credit bureaus are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

Your credit score is a big deal. Lenders use that number to decide what kind of loan you’ll be able to get and what interest rate you’ll have to pay. If your credit score is low, G.A.P. FCU can offer ways to raise it. If your score is good, here are three choices you should avoid if you want to keep it that way.

  • Cosigning a Loan

    If the borrower starts missing payments, your credit score will take a hit. The last thing you want to do is have to pay money to keep your credit score up and get absolutely nothing in return.

  • Closing a Credit Card
    You may have paid off your credit card and decided to stop using it, but don’t close that account. Closing the account will lower your amount of available credit, which could negatively affect your debt utilization ratio. A long credit history is also good for your credit score.

  • Not Looking for Errors
    You should always review your credit score at least once a year. Visit Annual Credit Report to get access to your credit report. They offer a free copy every 12 months from each credit reporting company. This will help ensure all of your information is correct and up to date.

Consumers who have been victims of identity theft can also turn to a credit report site to receive a current credit report and determine whether or not their private information has been compromised. Many credit report sites offer security options to prevent identity theft.
