In previous blog posts, we've discussed ways that you can improve your credit score, what a good credit score looks like, how you can monitor your credit, and so much more.
Most of these methods involved a quick turnaround in your financial habits.
Once you’ve paid off a decent portion of your credit cards, commit to keeping the balance on each line of credit low. If you’ve achieved paying off your high balances, there is no worse feeling than watching the bill creep back up again.
While it’s tempting to apply for your local department store’s credit card, it’s best to make sure you’re monitoring the number of credit card lines you have open.
If you’re feeling like you are ready to do something big to improve your credit score (after you’ve done all of the steps we’ve previously mentioned), you may consider partnering with an organization like Coast Tradelines.
