Problem:

In today’s tough economic times, where every person is being judged by his/her number (credit score), having a good credit and credit score is more important than ever before. You need to have a good credit just to rent an apartment, rent a car, open a bank account, get auto and home insurance, get a job, buy a car or obtain a home mortgage.

Just a few points on your score can be the difference between getting a home loan, auto loan, or even a credit card.

Depending on your credit score you could be denied of getting a loan, would be offered a good or normal rate, or would be offered a loan with higher than normal rate and/or requiring more down payment, etc. Like most cases in finance, those with the lowest risks get to pay the lowest rates.

Approximately 70% of Americans have some form of negative information on their credit reports!

According to “The 2013 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey” and “4Ways American are Financially Illiterate” by Wall Street Journal reported in June 2013, we have the following statistics:
