Think a low credit score always means bad spending? Think again. 🇨🇦
Up to 1 in 5 Canadians have errors on their credit report pulling their score down without knowing it.
A low credit score isn’t always caused by your spending—sometimes it’s caused by reporting errors on your file! 🇨🇦
Here’s how to check and fix it step-by-step:
1️⃣ Get your free reports: Access your credit reports directly through Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada (or through your online banking partner).
2️⃣ Scan for mistakes: Check for incorrect personal details, accounts you never opened, or late payments that were reported by mistake.
3️⃣ File a dispute: Contact the credit bureau directly to request an investigation and removal of false information.
💡 Removing even one incorrect negative mark can give your score a quick boost.
