Important Disclosure
Everything in this presentation
today is intended to be
educational in nature, and
hopefully will assist you in
reaching your financial goals.
However, it is all general in
nature, and not specific to any of
you or your circumstances.
Nothing we say here today can
replace real investment advice
that is rendered after a thorough
review of your financial situation.

According to testimony before a House Financial Services
subcommittee on March 24, 2010, FICO scores are used in
about 10 billion decisions worldwide each year.

A credit score represents the likelihood that
person will pay his or her debts.

0 FICO stands for Fair, Isaac, and
Company (1989)
0 FICO is the best known and most
widely used credit score model in
the United States
0 FICO model is used by credit
reporting bureaus such as
Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion
to produce FICO score

entitled to a free
report every 12

There is no quick fix for bad credit scores.
A few guidelines that will very likely impact a
consumer’s score in a positive way.
Food & Finance 3/18/14 12
1. Pay your bills on time – consistently.
2. Keep credit card balances low.
5. Be patient – demonstrate your
responsible credit habits over time.
4. Check your credit report to ensure its
accuracy.
3. Don’t open new credit accounts you
don’t need.
Don’t wait. Now is a perfect
time to get credit smart.
