Fact or Fiction: Credit Report

Belief: I don’t have any control over what my credit report says

Response: Fiction

Nothing could be further from the truth. The data included in your credit report is a recording of your decisions, payments, requests, and overall handling of the credit you have sought and/or gained. It is your duty to act responsibly with the credit extended to you just as it is your duty to make sure all of the information on that report is accurate.
