Use Your Cards with Care to Protect Credit Rating

Use Your Cards with Care to Protect Credit Rating

Using credit wisely means:


* Paying your bills promptly

* Keeping a list of all your account numbers in case cards are lost or stolen

* Controlling your spending

* Paying more than the minimum amount due

* Keeping copies of your receipts and checking them against your monthly bill

* Guarding against card fraud and identity theft by cutting up your old cards and shredding statements and unwanted credit card offers
