AMOUNTS OWED

Always pay your bills on time. Set up automatic payments from your bank account or

program reminders into your phone if you have trouble keeping track of when each bill is due.

Keep your balances low on your credit cards and other revolving lines of credit. If your

balances are currently high, begin to pay them off (starting with the card or line of credit with the highest interest rate) until you’re debt free.

Be careful when opening new accounts. Opening several new accounts at a time may raise red flags and lower your credit score. Similarly, closing several accounts at once can lower your score.
