FICO holding free 'Score A Better Future' credit building workshop on Saturday.
free credit score workshop on Saturday at BakerRipley at 4410 Navigation Blvd, Houston, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., where FICO staff will offer education sessions to debunk credit score myths and show you how to build your score. Attendees will get free access to their FICO score and credit report.
"Many consumers don’t understand their FICO score is used by a lender not only to determine if they’re going to grant credit or not, but they’re often included as an important component in the interest rates that they set," explained Tom Quinn, FICO Vice President of Scores.More employers are planning to increase pay raises this year, but that boost will apparently still be less than inflation.
FICO says the top tips to improve scores are to pay bills on time, apply for credit only when needed, and maintain a low credit utilization ratio, aiming for 30% to 10%."One of the things you’re looking for is how much credit you have available to you, and a ratio of what you’re using to available credit. The higher that ratio, the more impactful it is on the score," said Quinn.
