CREDIT MONITORING
Your credit score fluctuates monthly and waiting for a free annual credit score when applying for a loan may not be beneficial. Even minor changes in your credit score can impact the loan amount, type, and the interest rate you qualify for. For example, if you miss a credit card payment, credit monitoring services will alert you once the lender reports to the credit bureau, allowing you to address the issue promptly. An improved credit score presents an opportunity to secure a new loan for purposes such as buying a home or refinancing a mortgage.
Checking for inaccuracies and correcting them quickly is crucial, as errors can occur on your credit report. Instead of discovering a mistake while applying for credit, a reliable credit monitoring tool can alert you in time to resolve it with your lender, avoiding delays and protecting against higher interest rates. When it comes to credit monitoring services, not all are created equal. It's important to select one that best meets your needs, even if it requires a fee. Look for services offering real-time monitoring and long-term tracking of your credit score's fluctuations. Quality credit monitoring services should also explain the factors affecting your credit score and where you stand concerning those factors, making it a worthwhile investment.
