When I titled this, I could hear Tina Turner singing in my head. Maybe I could add her soundtrack playing in the background of her big hit … or not! Let’s get to the topic at hand here — credit.
“Check your credit once a year” is what you’re told all the time. Open credit cards so you can develop a score. Close those unwanted accounts. Certainly, some of this is good advice, but not all of it will help. More and more in this current market, credit scores have become crucial in determining whether you can get credit or not. In the last year, scores have become the FIRST thing companies look at when choosing to extend credit. It didn’t used to be this way!
But what makes up a credit score? How do you “get one” if you don’t have it? What types of things DON’T affect your credit score? These are all questions and topics that will be discussed at the next Credit Seminar, Thursday, February 18th from 5:30-6:15 pm. It’s located at the Cornerstone office — 436 Gateway Boulevard, Burnsville, MN. To RSVP for this event, please contact Cheryl at 952-808-0042. Bring your questions!
