Two new programs aim to give consumers greater access to credit cards and mortgage refinancing. I joined CBS This Morning to explain how they work and who would benefit most.
The company that turns your credit history into what's known as a FICO score is updating how that number is calculated. These scores are used to determine whether you can receive a new credit card, or get a home or auto loan. Jill Schlesinger joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss a new report that shows the average U.S.
The company that turns your credit history into what’s known as a FICO score is updating how that number is calculated. These scores are used to determine whether you can receive a new credit card, or get a home or auto loan. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss a new report that shows the average U.S. FICO score hit an all-time high of 703 last year.
This week on the show we’re taking you to credit score boot camp with credit guru Gerri Detweiler.
Helping consumers find reliable answers to their credit questions has been the theme of Detweiler’s work for the past 20+ years. Currently Head of Market Education for Nav, she helps individuals and business owners navigate the confusing world of consumer and small business credit.
As an expert on credit issues, she has been interviewed for more than 3,000 news interviews including The Today Show, Dateline NBC, The New York Times, USA Today and Reader's Digest. She has also testified before Congress.
Nearly two years after credit monitoring company Equifax announced that a “Cybersecurity Incident” had exposed personal information of 147 million Americans, it will pay at least $575 million, and potentially up to $700 million, to end a federal, state, and consumer claims against it.
With breaches like Equifax happening on a seemingly regular basis, it’s more important than ever to keep a close eye on your credit score.
And don’t forget to review your credit report every 12 months at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you find an error, report it immediately and stay on top of the process, as a lower score will cost you more to borrow.

A recent creditcards.com survey found that a large majority of Americans with debt would not be willing to cut spending on either leisure travel or clothing and shoes by 50%. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss how these choices can impact your credit.
