Why Good Credit Scores are Key to Surviving in a Troubled Economy
Credit.com and the free Credit Report Card were featured last night on Channel 2 KTVU‘s special report by Pam Cook. The report discussed why preserving good credit scores is key to surviving in a troubled economy.
Adam Levin, Chairman and Co-Founder of Credit.com, was interviewed for the piece and explains how your credit card balances are one of the keys to obtaining high credit scores. What is your credit score, how is it calculated and what does it mean? If you missed it, you can watch the full clip here:http://www.ktvu.com/video/23512512/index.html
Special thanks to Erin Smith, a local consumer in the San Francisco area who shared her personal credit story. The fact that she used our free Credit Report Card before she went to apply for an auto loan makes everything we do at Credit.com worthwhile. Credit.com, promoting financial literacy and consumer credit awareness, one consumer at a time.
