Final piece of advice: Monitor your credit report and score regularly,
to ensure there are no inaccuracies or unauthorized activity. Your credit
report and score are the two major methods that creditors and lenders
use to make a credit decision about you. Higher scores usually mean lower
interest rates, which will save you money.
