I Do Take You, My Credit Score, Have & To Hold On To... Wait What?

Because credit is directly linked to your social security number, it can feel like you're in a forever one-sided matrimony that some outside force has more control over than you. The fact is you can control your credit, your credit reports, your scores and how they are impacted.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act 1970 in summary says that consumers have the right to review and dispute any information on their credit reports that is inaccurate, erroneous or obsolete. In simple terms, you don't have to be married for life to the information on your credit report if you find that any of it does not align with your activity.

In fact, the consumer law has undergone several amendments to continue to protect consumers. Further it states that no entity or person has the right to add anything to your credit report. Listen, I don't have to make this up, it's literally public information written into law.
