Tips to Improve Your Score

•Your utilization is 35%. Lowering it below 30% (ideally under 10%) can significantly boost your score.
•Your on-time payment rate is 95%. Even one late payment can drop your score substantially. Set up autopay to avoid missed payments.
•Check your credit report annually for errors. Disputing inaccuracies can sometimes result in quick score improvements.
