The beginning of another football season reminds us how important it is for coaches and players to be on the same page as they move toward their shared goal. They cannot truly achieve success unless that happens. The same principle applies to improving your credit, as John S.’s success story shows.
John’s HUD-certified, nonprofit credit counselor went about removing late payments and a collection account from his report. Meanwhile, he continued to pay down his credit card balances every month. The result: John’s credit score increased from 554 to 626 in five months! This put his short-term goal of a 650 score in clear view.
“Should I try to fix my credit myself?”
The collaboration between our clients and the counselors we connect them with on our platform is a beautiful thing. That’s why we never recommend DIYing your own credit fixes. There are many ways you can mess up your attempts to clear your credit record.
Improving your credit isn’t rocket science. It’s also one of those things that is best left to the experts. Specifically, the credit counselors on our platform. That’s because:
- They know what they’re doing.
- They have your best interest at heart.
- They’re not here to keep you in a program for longer than you need to be.
- They’re not out to make a profit off your hard times.
They’re here to coach you to success and show you the responsible credit practices that can improve your life – both while you’re enrolled in the program, and more importantly, for years to come after you’ve achieved the credit score you want and deserve.
