16 Wisdom on student loans If borrowing an unsubsidized loan, pay the interest while you are in school. When possible, pay extra on your student loan during repayment. Take advantage of any borrower benefits offered by your student loan lender. (Ex. Automatic Deduction, interest discounts) If changing repayment plans, must continue to make payments on current plan until new plans has been approved. Never miss a payment.
17 NSLDS The National Student Loan Data System is available for all students that have received Federal student aid (including student loans). Website: NOTE: Review your history at least once a year.
18 What is credit? About credit A loan to pay for something *Student loans *Credit cards *Auto loan *Mortgage or Home Equity Loan
19 Credit cards Credit cards are good: For use in an emergency Necessary for some purchases, internet, air fare, hotels Safer than carrying cash Helps establish a credit history Credit cards are bad: Every dollar you spend has interest or fees attached Purchases cost more due to accrued interest Excessive credit card use and late payments can harm your credit rating and result in compounding debt Interest and late fees can really add up
20 Credit Card Example Balance Interest Rate Monthly payment Years to pay Total cost $2, % $ $4, $2, % $ $3, $2, % $ $2,422.00
21 What to look for Be sure that you ask questions and understand Term (length) Interest rate (variable, fixed, APR) Penalties (fees, etc.) Repayment options Hardship allowances
22 Understanding your credit score Q. What is a credit score? A. A number based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit history, which represents that person s creditworthiness. Basically, this score looks at your past credit activity and tells creditors whether or not you are a good credit risk or not.
23 How is Credit Worthiness Measured The Three Cs of Credit: Character History Capital Collateral Capacity Income/Debt
24 What is a good credit score? Below 600: Work on building credit Between : Reasonable, be careful Above 700: Generally considered Good Above : Viewed as Very Good to Excellent
25 Understanding your credit score A credit score is based on: Payment history 35% Amounts owed 30% Length of credit history 15% New credit 10% Types of credit in use 10%
26 Understanding your credit score (continued) How to build your credit score: Payment history (35%) Always, always pay on time. Amounts owed (30%) Use less than 50% of your available credit limit. Length of credit history (15%) Get one credit card from a major financial institution and keep it for a long time.
27 Understanding your credit score (Continued) What can a credit score can impact? Your ability to purchase a home, car or other large purchase (business loan) Interest rates charged for a home, car or other large purchase Insurance rates for car, rental and home insurance Employment opportunities Note: Pay attention to your spending habits. It can affect you in the long run.
28 Checking your credit report Get your FREE credit report every year Colorado residence can get credit reports twice a year for FREE Check your credit reports to understand your creditworthiness and to remove/review disputes, liens, judgments.
