My wife and I repaired our credit scores dramatically by merely challenging past and bad claims. Much of what we found to be hurting our credit were stuff that we were unaware of. Due to that we are strong supporters in having your credit checked regularly.

Shani, Welcome and I’m glad you love the blog. It is a work in progress and I am striving to change the future of single moms. It’s wonderful that you have been able to create a nice nest egg for yourself. It is very liberating isn’t it?

Great advice!
I am in the process of clearing up credit. However, my past has been more balancing single parenting lows in income vs constant debts to be paid. I do not and have not owned a credit card since my divorce 11 yrs ago. (debit card yes)
But with public school fees, sports fees, and other unexpected fees for my children, sometimes my bills have taken a beating in lieu of these expenses.
Also, with a deadbeat ex (no im not blaming him for my financial woes) sometimes a sudden unexpected lapse in child support payments will put me in the same predicament.
This year I have been in the best financial position in my entire single motherhood. And that has served me well as I was laid off from full-time employment this month.
This is a challenge I have never faced. However, because I was able to secure a little tiny nest-egg, I am in better shape than I would have been just one year ago had this happened.

I love your blog
