Learn About Credit Reports & Scores At Mission Bend Branch Library
Your credit rating can affect your ability to make purchases on credit by limiting the amount of credit for which you may apply or receive. Learn what factors can positively and negatively affect your credit at a special program at Fort Bend County Libraries’ Mission Bend Branch Library on Wednesday, September 14, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, in the Meeting Room of the library, located at 8421 Addicks Clodine Road in northeast Fort Bend County.
In the program, “Financial Literacy: All About Credit,” Financial Wellness specialist Tiffany Roan will provide an overview of credit reports and FICO scores, explaining what they are and how they are calculated. Learn about the different factors that make up a credit score, negative items that can affect one’s scores, and what steps can be taken to improve a rating and re-establish good credit.
Credit problems can make it more difficult to obtain loans or may result in higher interest rates when purchasing a car or buying a home. Understanding one’s credit rating and knowing how to improve it can help increase one’s purchasing power and enable one to save money.
A Financial Wellness Lead with Wellby Financial, Roan has more than 10 years of financial-education experience. She has a graduate degree in Public Administration from the University of Memphis and an undergraduate degree in Finance from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), or call the Mission Bend Branch Library (832-471-5900) or the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).
