Get Your Credit Report

Your credit history is an important part of your future – it can open doors for you or keep them locked. Decisions including approvals for loans and mortgage or rental applications may be affected by your credit history.

• Make payments on time and always pay at least the minimum amount required
• Notify creditors as soon as you move to ensure bills will arrive at your new location on time
• Notify creditors right away if you experience problems making a payment
