2023 Credit Score Updates

Credit reporting and scoring is forever evolving - sometimes for the better and sometimes not so much for the better for us or our clients. However, since everyone’s life revolves around these scores it is critical to know as much as possible about them.
Every year the Center for Financial Social Work invites Rod Griffin, the Senior Director of Consumer Education and Advocacy at the Consumer Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) Experian to train our community on the most recent and important credit card changes.
The goal of this training is to assure everyone working with clients knows how to best educate, motivate, and support them in understanding the role of their credit score in their lives and how to proactively control the information in it.
