    Your Credit Score and You: 3 Steps to Improve Your Credit Score NOW

    Your credit score is important – your score is used to determine your credit worthiness, what loans you will qualify for, and the interest rate you will pay.

    So, if you’re looking to achieve a life goal, like buying a car or home, here are three steps to improve your credit score NOW:

    • If you’re renting, sign up for a solution like RentReporters to have your rental payments reported and added to your credit report.
    • If your parents or spouse has good credit, become an authorized user on their credit cards to add positive credit history to your own credit files.
    • Pay your bills on time – set up auto payments and reminders so that you don’t miss a payment.

    RentReporters is helping renters build and improve their credit scores by reporting their on time rent payments to TransUnion.
