Last time I did a Q&A, this question from a listener came up and I decided to take the time to answer in its own standalone episode. Many immigrants make that initial mistake with our first credit cards and I just want to applaud this listener for asking. There's no shame here!!!

In this episode, I share about:

1. How credit scores work in the US and UK
2. The three credit bureaus and reporting agencies
3. What a good credit score is
4. Why credit scores matter
5. Ten ways to improve your credit score starting today

I also share an earlier episode Season 2 Episode 8 where I touch on similar topics. Please listen to both episodes.
