Posted on October 30th, 2007 by Marc Chase Posted in Improve Your Credit Score | 11 CommentsHow many of you have been taught the best way to protect your credit is to always pay your bills on time?
We all have. It’s common sense.
I still remember the little chat my Dad had with me about credit when I was about 18 and got my first Montgomery Wards card. He said,
“Marc, credit can be a great thing; but make sure you always pay your bills on time or you're going to regret it."
