Understanding Credit and Improving Credit Scores

Credit scores influence many aspects of our lives, from the interest rates we pay on loans to eligibility for employment or for insurance coverage. This comprehensive continuing education course will help you gain a deeper understanding of the Fair Credit Billing and Fair Credit Reporting Acts, to help clients identify negative information on their credit reports; explain how credit scores are calculated; determine if clients could benefit from credit repair; and explain how to improve clients’ credit scores.  The course provides an overview of credit reports and credit bureaus, and gives advice on preventing identity theft and improving credit.

This course is offered through Kaplan Professional Schools, but all other bonus materials are offered exclusively by Washington Real Estate School Online.
