Showing an Apartment


My wife and I hit a debt crisis about three years ago as a result of a lot of poor decisions early in our marriage. After some research, I found the AcademyofFinancialLiteracy. Honestly, I was incredibly skeptical of a financial literacy company, but we were desperate. In the six months we worked with them, they were awesome, giving us the help we needed. I can happily say as of today my credit accounts are paid off and we just purchased our first house! Could not have done it without the help from the Academy of Financial Literacy.

Credit Repair Articles

We will post many articles that you will find are full of helpful information on credit for consumers.  Yes, of course, we want yes of course, we want you to use the credit repair and other credit services we have available.  But we also want you to be able to visit our credit repair blog.  And, come away more knowledgeable than before.
 
The Credit Game

The rules of the credit game are dictated by the credit bureaus.  They are more officially known as credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax & Transunion). Each has a slightly different scoring model which one reason our credit scores are different on each. They decide the weight given to different aspects of your credit history.  Therefore, all we need to do as consumers is to understand the rules of the credit game.  And do our best to use those rules to our advantage.

Here’s the Good News

The good news is that there is not an infinite number of rules.  If we know a handful of good credit practices and follow them, we will have a great chance of winning the credit score game.
