Watch out for these surprise credit dings
Paying bills and the mortgage on
time are key ways to keep credit
scores healthy. However, your score
could be suffering for other sur
prising reasons. A few examples:
UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKETS. More
and more large municipalities are
sending overdue traffic ticket fines
to collection agencies, which report
the debt to the credit bureaus.
UNRAID LIBRARY FINES. Al
though seemingly inconsequential,
overdue fees on books, DVDs and
audiotapes can rack up fast. Some
libraries, too, are using collectors.
