You’ve just got your first credit card. What do you do with it? Well you use it of course. That is what millions of students are doing. Everything from gig tickets, to text books and groceries go on the card.
The wonder of having your own plastic is just too much. It is like an emblem of adulthood. Once you have that little piece of plastic in your wallet you seem to be a free and independent person.
Students and the interest they pay are making a fortune for the credit card companies. Students may have great grades in every subject but no one ever thought of teaching them about personal finance.
It’s no good being moralistic about student debt. Debt is a way of life for students. They take out loans to pay their fees and living expenses. They know that their parents have debts. These kids were raised on credit and they expect to be in debt when they graduate.

The Credit Bureaus exist for one reason, and one reason only…to make money! Each and every one of the bureaus is is a publicly traded company. They make most of their revenue by selling information to lending institutions, insurance companies, utility companies, credit card issuing banks, and employers.

Bureau Secret #1 Credit Bureau Reports - Your 92 Scores
Reports and scores are created "on the fly" whenever they are requested by you, a creditor, or a lender. In fact, you can have up to 92 different scores…23 different scores for each Bureau: Trans Union, Experian, Equifax and don’t forget the little known "other" bureau named Innovis.
Remember your credit scores can vary drastically depending on who pulls the report and the particular profile applied to you. This Bureau process is especially problematic if you are thinking of getting a home loan or mortgage. The score you see if you request it from a major reporting bureau or an on-line service WILL be different - and probably much higher than the score you receive from a Mortgage Broker.
