Credit Scores Demystified: Myths, Truth Bombs & Real Steps to Rebuild

At MORATAYA Corp., many of our clients come to us confused or stressed about their credit scores. From sudden drops to lingering low numbers, the mystery around credit reporting can feel overwhelming-especially when you’re trying to recover from debt.

Let’s break it down together.

Top Credit Score Myths-Busted

MYTH 1: My credit score defines my financial worth.

TRUTH: Your credit score is just one piece of your financial picture. It does not reflect your value as a person or your ability to improve your situation.

MYTH 2: Bankruptcy or a Consumer Proposal ruins your credit forever.

TRUTH: These are legal solutions that can stop the damage, protect your assets, and allow you to rebuild. Many people begin improving their credit shortly after filing.

MYTH 3: Staying in debt helps your credit.

TRUTH: Carrying high balances or missing payments hurts your score. Paying down debt and managing your accounts responsibly helps it.

What Impacts Your Credit Score

Understanding what’s behind the numbers helps reduce fear and build a plan. Key factors include:

·         Payment history: Consistently paying bills on time

·         Credit usage: Using a reasonable percentage of your available credit

·         Credit mix: The types of accounts you hold (credit cards, loans, etc.)

·         Length of credit history: How long your accounts have been open

·         Recent inquiries: Applying for new credit too often can lower your score temporarily

Rebuilding Takes Time-But It’s Possible

If your credit score isn’t where you want it to be, don’t panic. Taking positive steps now-like reducing debt, paying on time, and getting expert guidance-can help you move forward with confidence.
