Having good credit is absolutely essential for financial success. It affects everything from interest rates to job hunting to how much you pay for car insurance. For service members, it can even affect promotions and security clearances.
If you have poor credit, it’s in your best interest to address it and work on solutions as soon as possible. That can be an overwhelming task, and many people don’t even know where to begin. That’s why Pioneer Services created the Credit Repair Kit. It provides financial resources, smart tips, and realistic ways to take control of your credit.
The Credit Repair Kit is a free PDF you can either download or print. It includes easy-to-follow tips and tools to help you understand and potentially improve your credit, prioritize and possibly reduce your debt, and put you on the right financial path.
Credit Repair Kit
It’s easy to get in over your head, and sometimes difficult to get out. The goal of the Credit Repair Kit is to help you take the first steps toward establishing or repairing your credit and guide you through the process in simple terms. It contains several checklists – broken out into phases – filled with actions you can take immediately. It also contains tons of information focused on helping you understand and potentially increase your credit score, and even tips to help you reduce your spending.
While Pioneer Services cannot guarantee the Credit Repair Kit will give you a better credit score, it will give you a better understanding of the factors that either negatively or positively affect your credit profile. Ready to get started?
