Spring EQ

Ready to turn your house into your dream home? Before building a new bathroom or updating your aging electrical work, explore your options for financing.

Depending on the size of a home improvement project, many homeowners assume their credit card is a good option for accessing cash fast. Think again, because financing home projects on your plastic can come with some dream-crushing drawbacks.

In this housing market, many homeowners are reassessing their goals–with home renovations and debt consolidation topping their to-do lists.

And for homeowners tapping their home's available equity to fund these goals, checking in on their credit score and seeing if they can give it a push in the right direction is step one.

But did you know Experian can also instantly give your credit score a boost?

Whether you're a recent grad or well into your career, everyone knows their credit score matters when it comes to securing any kind of loan—but many people are still sometimes unclear on just how much their credit score effects their ability to get a loan with the best rate and terms.
