What's A Credit Score And Why Is It Important?

What's A Credit Score And 

Why Is It Important?

Like it or not, banks, lenders, phone companies and electricity providers share a persons financial information with each other.

All of this information is held in a database known as a Credit Report. 

Everyone who has ever applied for a loan, credit card, a lease, mobile phone contract or any other type of finance has a Credit Report.

In this Credit Report there is a three or four digit number that banks use to approve a loan...it's called a Credit Score.

For example and as a rule of thumb, if the Credit Score is above 950 (and the applicant meets all their other criteria) the loan is approved at the best rate, if it's below that then the loan will be declined OR the lender will charge a higher interest rate.

The higher the credit score, the lower the interest rate.

Who Looks At A Credit Score Or Credit Report Anyway?

Who Looks At A Credit Score 

Or Credit Report Anyway?

Surprisingly allot more businesses and organisations look at someone's Credit Score and Credit Report than we realise. 

They use it to find out what type of person they are providing services to.

In our 17 years experience, we've seen a wide range use of this data:

❌ A new or current employer use it to see if they can trust people

❌ Insurers use it determine how risky of a customer they might be

❌ Landlords and real estate agents use it to determine if rent will be paid

❌ Telco's use it to decide if they will offer a mobile phone or internet contract

❌ Banks and lenders use it to decide if they'll approve a loan or how much interest to charge

Because of this, we think it's critical that everyone knows what's on their credit report before it's too late.

Why Are We Doing This?

Okay, we can hear the skepticism from here. 

Why are we going to all of this trouble to help people with a Credit Score and bonus financial health check?

There's two reasons. 

Firstly, we know what it's like to feel trapped by finances and credit. 

We want to help as many people as possible explore their options and their financial health.

Secondly, we are actually really good at what we do and this is how we get new clients. 

We show how awesome we are and what we're capable of and some people ask how we can give them even more help and support.

There’s no pressure...

If anyone takes advantage of our bonus financial health check and decides that our other awesome services aren’t for them then that’s totally fine.

No hard feelings.
