Episode 3: Your Credit Score

Moneysplained

Credit scores matter a whole lot. A good credit score (between 620 and 850) will often make you eligible for the best travel rewards and cash back credit cards and lenders will be able to offer you the lowest interest rates on home and auto loans. My guests is Liz Weston, who I immediately hit it off with because I’m from Los Angeles and she lives just minutes from my dad’s house. Liz knows a lot about credit scores and we had a lovely chat about the highs and lows of credit scores…AND THEN THE NEWS ABOUT THE EQUIFAX BREACH DROPPED. So I freaked out and got back on the phone with Liz to talk about how we can all protect ourselves. A lot of things can negatively impact your credit score, like falling behind on credit card payments. If you do fall behind and your score suffers, you DO have options.
