Materials Needed:
Overview:
Over a 90 day period of time, you will be able to increase your credit score, if you are serious about it. We will put into work common strategies to “shock” your score: decrease utilization, paying more than the minimum balance, paying on time, etc.
I utilize Credit Karma with my clients as a quick reference for checking scores and open accounts. However, when it comes to accuracy, getting a copy of your report utilizing the sources I provided is most accurate. Obtain your free credit report from annualcreditreport.com
Why do I ask for your bank statements? Your bank statements are important because it allows you to truly assess where you spend your money and how much money you have available to pay off debt beyond your monthly statement minimums. If you are making the minimum payment, great. However, do you have an additional $20 to contribute to that account?
Questions to consider:
Do you know the interest rate for your credit card(s)?
What do you use your credit cards for?
Do you have any accounts in collections?
