Credit can feel like a mystery, but it follows rules you can learn. This 8-page guide explains what a credit score is, what moves it, and how to check, protect, and build yours, in plain English, with fillable trackers so you can act on what you learn.

What's inside

  • Credit report vs. credit score: what each one is and why both matter
  • What moves your score: payment history, amounts owed, length of history, credit mix, and new credit
  • How to get your free credit reports and a log to track your checks
  • How to spot and dispute errors, with a dispute log
  • Credit freeze vs. fraud alert, with a freeze record
  • How to build or rebuild your credit
  • Trackers: a card utilization calculator, a monthly score log, and goals
  • Trusted resources, including the CFPB, the FTC, and AnnualCreditReport.com

Who it's for
