Ask Latoya
CreditCardApp Q: I was just turned down a store credit card request because my credit score is low, is there any way I can improve my credit score?

A: 
Almost everyone knows late payments can hurt your credit score.  But how much damage can one late payment do?  A single late payment will have a monumental effect on your credit for up to 24 months.  However, if you have fallen short, start paying your bills on time today, more weight is given to newer payment history.  To find out more about how you can improve your credit score, stop by today and ask a representative about Score Enhancement.

Have a question many other members probably wonder about, but are too afraid to ask? Feel free to have your question presented in "The Navigator" where other members can benefit from the answer as well as yourself. You can email updates@nstarcu.org with your questions.
