How often do you check your credit score? Do you know all the ways credit, good or bad, can affect you? Your credit score is so much more than a simple three-digit number, and it can follow and weigh you down for years if it gets too low. Understanding how to build and keep a healthy credit score is a key pillar of good personal finance. 

Join Julie Kuzmic, Senior Compliance Officer, Consumer Advocacy at Equifax Canada, as she gives listeners a crash course on building a strong credit score, debunking credit score myths, and of course understanding how debt can affect credit.
