5 Ways to Surely Ruin Your Credit

1 - Charge! Charge! Charge!  Don’t worry about credit limits.
Be prepared to pay penalty fees and destroy your credit by going over your credit limit.  As if that isn’t bad enough, one little mishap on another credit card often leads to higher rates on other accounts. 

2 – Mail in your payments late.  “Its only one day late.”
Keep in mind that creditors are not your friends! Don’t expect a late payment to be forgiven or forgotten.  It will definitely cost you.  Late fees are extremely high these days.  So do yourself a favor and get your payments in on time.

3 – Charge to improve your lifestyle.  “I love my best friends new living room set.”
Don’t use a credit card to keep up with the Joneses.  You could end up paying double for that beautiful wall unit that you just had to have; you know the one that you couldn’t afford?

4 – Never check your credit report.
Your credit report says it all.   It has an impact on the interest rates that you’ll be charged on credit cards, auto loans, mortgage and insurance.  Your credit report may even determine whether you can rent an apartment or get employment.  Still not worried about what your credit report says about you? Take our advice and get a copy of your credit report from all three Credit Unions.  Do yourself a favor; make sure that your credit report speaks highly of you!
