A useful next step
Track due dates, statement balances, interest paid, and report errors. Revisit the plan monthly without relying on a guaranteed score.
Keep the decision grounded
Check the actual account terms and a dated credit report when the issue involves reporting. No tool can guarantee a score, approval, or deletion of accurate information. Keep copies of any agreement or correction.
