Who we are

Compare MyCredit is a plain-English learning hub that helps beginners understand credit scores, credit reports, and card features—without jargon or sales pressure. We break complex topics into simple steps, visuals, and checklists so you can read with confidence.

What we cover

Credit Basics: what a credit score is, how it’s calculated, utilization, inquiries, limits vs. balances.
Reports & Disputes: how to read your credit report, dispute errors, freezes vs. locks, timelines for negative items.
Cards & Comparisons 101: APR vs. interest, secured vs. unsecured, balance transfers, prequalified vs. preapproved—how to compare, not which to pick.

Every guide favors clear definitions, worked examples, and practical checklists. No fluff.

Our mission

Make credit literacy accessible, accurate, and calm for first-timers. We focus on education so you can make informed choices elsewhere.

Editorial standards

Accuracy first: We fact-check definitions and timeframes against widely recognized sources and laws where applicable.
Clarity: Step-by-step explanations, examples with numbers, and plain language.
Transparency: We disclose what we don’t cover and where official terms should control.
Updates: Articles are reviewed on a rolling schedule to keep details current.
