Our weekly #CreditChat started in 2012 to help our community learn about credit and important personal finance topics (e.g. saving money, paying down debt, improving credit scores). Each chat is hosted by @Experian on X (formerly Twitter) and all are welcome to participate. In addition to X, we’re excited to announce that you can now also participate in #CreditChat on Threads starting July 10! DM us any questions.
