Our partnerships and initiatives are dedicated to getting the proper tools, resources and information to underserved communities so that consumers can best understand and improve their financial health.

I opened a few of my daily newspapers this morning (yes, the print kind!), and pondered some seemingly conflicting messages.

Many consumers simply do not understand what a credit report, credit score or id theft is until they have either been denied a loan or fallen victim to fraud. As part of Experian’s Live Credit Smart program, the company offers consumers information on the specific areas that they need to live credit smart.
