Let’s face the fact, with the rising cost of living, inflations,
sluggish economy, weakened currency and many more factors. We can’t simply
spend money anymore, right? However, temptations are everywhere and shopping is
one of women’s weaknesses. So how can we manage our finance and spend wisely? Well
with more knowledge and planning we can be financially
responsible at the same time hit the retail trails without guilt. Today we
are going to discuss about the importance of Household Credit Management, check
your Credit Report and i-Score at RAM Credit Information (RAMCI).
The Importance of Household Credit Management, Check Your Credit Report and i-Score @ RAMCI |
Majority of us use our credit cards to pay for our purchases and
online transactions. Sometimes you lose track of the amount we spend until you received
your credit card bill. Bomb time! you got a shocked, you overspend so much and can’t
afford to pay or clear our credit card debt. It’s too late!
We love shopping but we are financially responsible for our spending |
To be honest I use my credit cards very often, but now I use it
responsibly. Nowadays I don’t carry so much cash partly because of safety
reasons. I use credit cards to pay for my household purchases and online
transactions such as groceries, petrol, pay bills, online shopping, flight
booking, travels bookings and many more.
When I first got my credit card in my mid-twenties I was not good
at managing my finance. I still remember there were times when I travel I
splurged beyond my means. At the end of the month when the bills arrived I got
a shocked and panicked.
That time, I was not able to pay my bills so I have to opt for
installment plan and was charged quite a fair bit of interest. I try my best to
settle the bill as fast as I can because the longer I drag the more interest I
have to pay. Therefore, I cut all my unnecessary expenses, work partime to earn
extra money and banned myself from shopping till I finish paying all my debts. So
I have learned my lessons and now I am more responsible with my credit card
debt.
Well, there are many ways we can keep track of our credit
expenditures and learn about debt management. First and foremost, I have clear mind of my family disposable
income verses the how much we could afford to spend every month. Budgeting,
prioritizing and planning are important for the whole family. We are
responsible for our own financial health.
Get my Credit Score and i-Score at RAMCI |
I also checked my Credit Score and i-Score at RAMCI. When I received my report and my i-Score I was relieved because my score is quite high. The higher the score, the lower the risk you are to the lenders or credit grantors. It consists of information on where we live, how we pay your bills and whether we’ve been sued or have been filed for bankruptcy.
With the credit report and i-SCORE I can have a better overview of
my credit worthiness and manage my household expenses and debt wisely. Not only
that a good credit score will also prepare me and my family for the next big
purchase, investment decisions or opportunities.
Usually our credit report will be used by banks, credit grantors,
insurers, employers and other businesses permitted by law to evaluate your credit,
employment and etc. for approval decisions. This credit score may be used by
financial institutions to evaluate our credit worthiness for a mortgage or loan
and even determine the interest rate.
Have you check or view your Credit Report or i-Score before? Hmm…
if you have not I urged you to check it. Start to take charge of your credit
health by checking your Credit Report and i-Score at least once a year. This is
to ensure your credit information is accurate and updated, avoid identity theft
which happened quite often, ensure a healthy credit profile, increase your
chances for loan approval and of course know your credit score.
