Working Credit

🗣 At Working Credit, we remain committed to helping communities build stronger financial futures.

Though Mother’s Day has passed, we want to continue recognizing the incredible mothers in our community.

This month, we’re proud to spotlight Rasheeda, a mother of two who raised her credit score by 84 points and is now in the process of buying her first home.

With support from Working Credit, Rasheeda built stronger financial habits, stayed disciplined, and kept pushing toward her goals.

“We deserve better than this.”

Congratulations, Rasheeda. We’re proud to support your journey.

🚩 Beware of Credit Repair Scams

Many companies promise to “fix” your credit quickly, but those promises come with hidden risks.

Watch out for these red flags:

🚩 Monthly fees or a large upfront fee before services are provided
🚩 Guaranteed credit score increases
🚩 Claims they can remove any negative information from your credit report

The truth is that rebuilding credit is possible and likely with trusted guidance.

Through the Rebuild Right campaign, organizations are working to help consumers understand how to improve their credit without falling into costly traps.
