The folks at Kern Schools Federal Credit Union sent this over:

Understanding a FICO score may seem like a puzzle. Don Goldammer, from California Credit Information Solutions will help consumers put the pieces together so they can understand how this important score can affect the consumers’ borrowing rates, terms, credit responsibility and more.

A FICO score is the most widely used credit score by lenders and creditors today.  The FICO score is used because it is objective, consistent, accurate and fast.  The 3 digit FICO score will determine what interest rate a consumer will pay on their credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans.

Kern Schools Federal Credit Union is providing this complimentary educational workshop on Improving Your FICO Score, Tuesday, February 17th from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at KSFCU’s Administration Building located at 9500 Ming Ave, just west of the Marketplace. 

Kern Schools Federal Credit Union’s goal is to educate the consumer on understanding what credit scoring is, what their individual score means, and how they can improve their overall credit rating. Consumers can sign-up by calling 833-7045 or going online at www.ksfcu.org.
