FAQs for SavvyMoney
SavvyMoney is a program that helps you monitor your credit. It tells you not only your current credit score, but it also reveals what is on your report at any given time. Furthermore, it helps you learn what impacts your credit score and shows you how to take advantage of offers that lower your interest rates on loans you may have outstanding. Not only does SavvyMoney allow you to safely check your credit report at any time, but it also alerts you to events such as a change of address or employment, a new account being opened, a delinquency or an inquiry. If you haven’t made the changes, you can report the issue to the proper authorities immediately.
