Resources
Get prepared before your credit review.

Questions to ask
Which items are unfamiliar? Which balances look wrong? Are any accounts duplicated? Are dates incorrect? Do you have proof that supports your concern?
Good habits
Pay on time, monitor reports, keep balances manageable, avoid unnecessary applications, and save documents connected to credit accounts.
