Just Like Your Underwear: Credit Needs to be Freshened-Up, Scrubbed, Updated, Fluffed & Changed


Just Like Your Underwear:  Credit Needs to be Freshened-Up, Scrubbed,  Updated, Fluffed & Changed ...



     Everything needs to be "freshened up" once in a while.  It need to be given a trim.  Updated.  Fluffed.  Scrubbed-up.  Changed or re-arranged.

     Credit is no different ...  

     But stop and think about it.  When was the last time you took a good hard look at your credit situation, your credit cards, or Credit Report?  Over a year?  Two?  More?

     Truth is, what worked for you credit-wise in the past, may not be serving your overall financial good now ...  
  •  Interest Rates on your credit cards may have risen 
  •  Promotional rates may have fallen off 
  •  Rewards that initially drew you to a specific card, may   have lapsed. 
  •  The credit card company may have updated or dropped the benefits you liked from your card 

     It happens all the time ... 

     And your mortgage rate?  The one you might have thought you were doomed to forever because of housing values?  It may actually deserve a second-look.  

     Mortgage Interest Rates have remained low ... lower for much longer than most experts thought they would.  And as of this writing, have actually fallen some recently.  Enough that Refinances have come back on the radar for a large number of Americans in many housing markets.

     The airwaves, social media, and news are full of stories that tell of new security breaches. Passwords to banking accounts and websites need to be changed one more time.  We hear of it so frequently, that it's begun to take on the air of "common occurence".  

     But it's not ...

     Your credit and Credit Report are always a "work in progress".  If you haven't checked your credit and Report out in the past 12 months, it's time to now.  You can easily accomplish this on your own.  Just head to:    AnnualCreditReport.com  ... and request your FREE Credit Report.
