💫You’ve probably seen this before, but for those that are new to credit or may need a little extra guidance here are 7 steps to consider! 💫
1. Check your credit report - have to know what you’re dealing with
2. Get any errors (negative accounts) off of your credit - negative items can hold your scores down by 20 or more points each
3. Pay your bills on time! - you can also dispute some late payments on your file
4. Keep your credit card utilization below 30% - keeping it between 3%-7% is gold
5. Pay down other debts - this keeps them from becoming a charged off or collection account in the future!
6. Keep old credit card accounts open - doesn’t matter if you don’t use it, this helps with the age of your credit file
7. Don’t take out credit unless you need it - i.e. you’re looking to invest into something that will bring you good ROI
