Score High: Using credit wisely

Managing credit can be more complicated than it may seem. Having some credit can help you build a good credit score, but relying on credit too much can cause trouble.

Topics include: understanding why good credit is important, build your credit history, use credit wisely, request and read your credit report and close credit accounts.
