Check Your Score

Each credit reporting company – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion – is required to provide a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months.

Have a Plan

Know how you are going to repay a debt – whether you use a credit card or a loan – and stick to your plan.
