EXPERT ALERTS:
Taking Charge of Your Personal Finances and Credit
Nancy E. Bistritz
Director, Public Relations & Communications

"Taking charge of your finances can start, simply, by establishing some basic fundamental behaviors. Make sure to check your credit report at least once a year – you can do this easily at AnnualCreditReport.com. Understand what a credit score is and what factors may cause a credit score to change. And finally, honor your financial commitments on time, every time. These are some basic ways to take charge of your finances – regardless of age, gender, race, or status in life."
Based in Atlanta, Bistritz can speak to personal finance topics related to credit, including how to build credit, how to improve credit worthiness, credit score myths and facts, and the importance of checking your credit report.
