FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The biggest things that hurt your score are easy to remember: paying bills late and using too much of your credit limit. A single late payment can stay on your report for seven years and really drag your score down. Maxing out your credit cards makes you look risky, even if you pay them off each month. Other hits include having lots of new credit applications in a short time, having only one type of credit, or having negative items like collections or bankruptcies.

Paying in full means you pay off the entire amount you spent that month. You then pay zero interest. The minimum payment is the smallest amount the bank will accept to keep your account in good standing. If you only pay the minimum, you’ll carry the rest of the balance over to the next month and start paying interest on it. This can make your purchases much more expensive in the long run.

Look for mistakes! Check that your name, address, and Social Security number are correct. Look at all your accounts and loans to make sure they are really yours. Make sure there are no late payments listed if you paid on time. Watch for accounts you don’t recognize, as this could be a sign of identity theft. If you see something wrong, you can dispute it to get it fixed.

Start with your list of debts. Two popular methods are the “Snowball” and “Avalanche.“ With Snowball, you pay the smallest debt first while making minimum payments on the rest. With Avalanche, you attack the debt with the highest interest rate first. Choose the one that motivates you most! Then, look at your monthly budget. Find any extra money, even just $20, and add it to your chosen debt’s payment. Stick with it every single month.

Helping family is common, but you must protect your own credit first. Co-signing a loan for someone means you are 100% responsible if they miss a payment, and it will hurt your score. Instead of co-signing, consider other ways to help, like giving a cash gift if you can. If you must co-sign, be prepared to make the payments yourself. Your financial stability is crucial for your whole family’s well-being in the long run.
