What's inside
Real Answers, Not Sales Talk
Here's exactly what you'll walk away knowing.
The 2 Factors That Are 75% of Your Score
Payment history and card balances carry almost three-quarters of your score — see exactly how much each one moves the needle.
The 30% Rule for Card Balances
Keep balances under 30% of your limit — under 10% is even better — and see how spreading balances across cards can raise your score.
How Long Damage Really Lasts
A maxed-out card, a late payment, a settlement — see the real point range each one costs, and what it takes to recover.
Reading Your Own Credit Report
What a charge-off actually means, when it becomes a collection, and how to dispute an error for free.
Before You Touch Your Credit, Call Us First
Repairing credit the wrong way before a purchase can backfire — see why a quick call comes before any big move.
