Controlling Credit Chaos

The way we manage our credit and debt affects how much we pay for credit (i.e. interest rates), our ability to be qualified for more credit, and even employment opportunities and how much we pay for car insurance.

By attending this class, you will learn the basics of credit, including:
-Credit reporting (where do you access your report? what information is included on your report?)
-Credit scoring (what is a credit score? 3 things you need to know about requesting a credit score), and
-Managing your credit (how do you establish credit? how do you build a favorable credit history?).

This class is provided by: The Maryland CASH Campaign (www.mdcash.org), in partnership with Comprehensive Housing Assistance, Inc.(CHAI)(www.chaibaltimore.org) and JCS (Jewish Community Services, Inc.)(www.jcsbaltimore.org).
