Credit Review Program Gives Military Members the Edge Against Fraud, Misuse

Credit scores are an integral part of the financial portfolio for Americans. Our credit reports and scores impact our finances and families in many ways. The score wields power on everything from interest rates on loans to auto insurance rates. And our credit report can influence an employer’s hiring decision.

 This is why it is so important for us to monitor and review our credit report on a regular basis. This is especially critical to our military families who are faced with deployments, change of station orders and a constant barrage of unknown financial services.

To help combat this, American Financial Solutions is offering a credit monitoring program for military members, their families and veterans. Members can complete a free financial review that provides them with tips and strategies for improving their financial health and receive free credit monitoring for one full year. In addition, AFS counselors will provide a credit report review at no charge.

 A negative item on your credit report can decrease your score and cost you thousands of dollars in interest and fees. Make sure you know where you stand. Contact American Financial Solutions today for your free credit report, financial review and credit monitoring service. Call 888-797-2604 or visit our website.

This Sharpen Your Financial Focus program is provided in part, by funding from a partnership between Experian and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
