Good credit opens doors. It can make the difference in qualifying for a mortgage, obtaining an affordable car loan or just getting approved for a decent credit card. Your credit can even influence your prospects for landing a certain job or renting an apartment. You might be new to credit, or you may be looking to bounce back from setbacks that have dinged your score. In either case, now’s the time for action.
