Over the years, as a credit expert and an owner of a credit repair company, I’ve founds two things to be true. Most consumers fear checking
their credit reports, and the falsely believe the damage by late payments, or a
couple of collections, are no big deal. If this is you, this info-graphic
may have you looking at damaged credit in a different light.
First of all, it is extremely important to periodically
review your credit report every year. Not knowing what is there will only come
back to bite you when you need credit. Prior to applying for any major credit
you need to review your credit 2 to 3 months in advance so you have time to
correct mistakes, and have the credit reports updated. Most people don’t
realize that in addition to inaccurate entries or mistakes reporting on you
credit, it is all too easy for someone else’s information to creep into your
reports. Then there is the possibility of Identity Theft by someone using your
credit or applying for credit in your name without your knowledge.
The info-graphic show the huge cost of having poor credit
compared to someone with great credit. Consumers are shocked when I tell them
their first missed payment can cost the up to 110 points dropping from their
credit scores. Just maximizing out 5 or 6 credit cards can cost you up to 100
to 125 points with nothing negative being reported on the credit report. The
resulting higher interest rates drain money from your pockets, your family, and
your retirement.
You need to monitor and protect your credit - it's all up to you.
