When lenders are deciding who to give loans to, the credit records of the applicants are always one of the first things that they look at. These are given credit ‘scores’ based on the specific criteria of the lender, and two lenders could easily give wildly different scores for the same credit record.

It’s always a good idea to get a copy of your credit report each year to check for inaccuracies. Even if you are on top of your monthly payments to creditors, there is always a chance of false information appearing on your credit report. So, you must check it annually by using one of the free credit reporting services like annualcreditreport.com.

Direct deposit and automatic bill payment have been the greatest thing since sliced bread for my bills. Always on time and my credit rating is solid!

  Direct deposits make such logical sense…but they scare me! If it’s the end of the month or something and I need to have money in the account, of course I do, but there’s always some weird fear in my head that I won’t be able to make a deposit into the account in time and I’ll get hit up with bank account fees.

As far as I know paying your bills on time is the secret to attaining a good credit score, thanks for this additional knowledge. I never knew that setting up direct debits for any regular debt repayments would help.
