Credit Counts Workshop on Free Credit Reports

Posted by on September 30, 2005

Why Pay More? Credit Counts, Know Your Score!

Your credit score is a report card for adults. It tells how well you pay your bills. A high credit score means you pay lower rates for things like a car loan, auto insurance, a mortgage or a credit card.

Beginning September 1, 2005, thanks to new federal regulations, you are entitled to free credit reports. But you have to pay to get your credit score. And you?re on your own trying to figure out what the information and score mean.

Attend a free Credit Counts Workshop sponsored by Wachovia.

? File for your Credit Report and get your Score for FREE
? Find out how to interpret the numbers
? Learn how to improve your Credit Score

You must attend a workshop to receive help getting a credit report and to obtain your credit score for FREE.

Beware of ads that ask you to PAY to get your credit reports and score. There is only ONE central source for you to get free credit reports.

Sponsored by: Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition, Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Delaware Valley, and The Campaign for Working Families. Wachovia is proud to support the Credit Counts Campaign.
