Maintain Your Credit Rating

ARA) - With today's unsettled economy, it's never been more important to keep tabs on the information that is in your credit files. When you build a solid credit history, you stay more in control of your financial well-being.

Whether you know it or not, your credit health may impact the interest rates you pay when you buy a new car, take out a mortgage, apply for a line of credit and so much more as you go through everyday life.

Staying up-to-date on changes to your credit file plays an important role in good fiscal health. Equifax offers several services that can help:

* Equifax Credit Watch (R) Gold with 3-in-1 Monitoring, gives you a better understanding of exactly what's in your credit file -- at all 3 national credit reporting agencies -- with daily monitoring of key changes to your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion credit files.

With customizable alerts that notify you of key changes to your file, you will be able to monitor your credit file so that you can take steps to ensure its accuracy -- and help build a more secure financial future. Visit Equifax.com to learn more.

* Equifax Score Watch(R) allows you monitor your FICO Credit Score and set alerts for when you reach your target score.

Higher credit scores usually translate into lower interest rates. That reduces your monthly payments and could save you thousands over the life of a mortgage or loan. Score Watch from Equifax makes it easy to target the score you want, monitor your score trend over a period of time and even preview the rates you are likely to receive.

Every time your FICO Credit Score changes, you'll receive detailed explanations of those changes and specific tips to help you understand your score. Learn more at Equifax.com.
