Test Your Credit Score IQTrue or False? 1. The best way to repair poor credit is to hire someone to do it. AnswerFalse. The only way to improve your credit rating is by establishing a long-term record of paying bills on time and using credit wisely. 2. How much I owe on my credit cards can affect my credit score and credit report. AnswerTrue. Keeping a low balance due is one way to improve your score, but paying moderate amounts of debt on time is considered better than no debt at all. 3. Cosigning a loan can affect my credit report. AnswerTrue. When cosigning, you agree to take on the other person’s debt if he or she fails to make payments. 4. Not having any debts or credit cards means I will have a high credit score. AnswerFalse. To have a score, you must use credit responsibly. If you’re just starting out, your score may be lower than someone who has built up credit. |
