Why Good Credit Scores are Key to Surviving in a Troubled Economy

Posted by credit.com | Credit Card Blog | Tuesday 11 May 2010 3:20 pm
Credit.com and the free Credit Report Card were featured last night on Channel 2 KTVU's special report by Pam Cook.  The report discussed why preserving good credit scores is key to surviving in a troubled economy.



Adam Levin, Chairman and Co-Founder of Credit.com, was interviewed for the piece and explains how your credit card balances are one of the keys to obtaining high credit scores. What is your credit score, how is it calculated and what does it mean? If you missed it, you can watch the full clip here: http://www.ktvu.com/video/23512512/index.html

Special thanks to Erin Smith, a local consumer in the San Francisco area who shared her personal credit story.  The fact that she used our free Credit Report Card before she went to apply for an auto loan makes everything we do at Credit.com worthwhile. Credit.com, promoting financial literacy and consumer credit awareness, one consumer at a time.

"Winner of Finovate's 2009 Best of Show, this free service makes credit scores easier to understand: Credit.com does a "soft inquiry" on your credit report, then gives you a letter grade that's an estimate of the range of scores you'd get for $15 a throw from the credit bureaus. A grade of B correlates to a FICO score of 700-749, a TransUnion score of 765-844, or a PLUS score of 695-739."

It's an exciting day for all of us at Credit.com. Kudos to the amazing staff and team members who put their heart and souls into this effort. All the hard work truly shows the dedication and love for what we do.
