What’s Lurking in Your Credit Report?

Halloween is the season for ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night. But one of the scariest surprises can be what’s hiding in your credit report.

Much like exploring a haunted house, checking your credit report can feel a little intimidating at first. You never know what you might find. But facing those cobwebs head-on can protect you from bigger financial frights down the road.

Don’t Be Afraid to Look

Your credit report tells the story of how you’ve managed your credit over time, from loans and credit cards to payment history and account balances. It’s what lenders use to decide how likely you are to repay what you borrow, which makes it one of the most important parts of your financial health.

The good news? You can check your credit report for free with WyHy's SavvyMoney®. 

With SavvyMoney® You Have Access To:
  • Daily Access to your Credit Score
  • Real-Time Credit Monitoring Alerts
  • Credit Score Simulator
  • Personalized Credit Report
  • Special Credit Offers
  • And More!

Regularly reviewing your report helps you spot errors, track your progress, and make sure no sneaky “credit ghosts” — like accounts you didn’t open or mistakes in reporting — are haunting your score.

How to Spot Errors

When you review your report, keep an eye out for:

  • Accounts you don’t recognize

  • Payments marked late when they weren’t

  • Incorrect balances or limits

  • Outdated personal information

If you see something suspicious, contact the credit bureau to dispute it. Fixing errors can give your score a healthy boost, and peace of mind knowing nothing spooky is hiding in your history.
