Credit Karma
Do you know what your credit score is? No, I’m not asking you if you knew what it was five years ago, but instead, I’m asking if you know what it is right now. Some of you certainly know where you’re at in this area, but I’m sure many of you haven’t checked in a long time and aren’t quite sure. It’s amazing how important that number is in your life because it can have an impact on so many things. Ignoring it isn’t going to make it better, so it’s a good idea to use a service like Credit Karma to stay on top of what the number is and what you can do to improve it.
Like some other companies out there, Credit Karma provides you with your credit score for free, but the extras help it to stand out a little more. For example, the number is just a number if you don’t know what it means, so Credit Karma grades your credit report and tells you how the items are impacting your score. Their tools, comparisons, and specialized calculators assist you with finding out where you can get better deals on items in your credit report that may help you to improve your score. Now is the time to pay attention to your credit score.

Suggest doing a Google search “Credit Karma Scam”. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Here is a link to look at:

You know, I’ve read that link John posted. But I don’t see that it actually has any useful information. It just seems like some wacko going off about the corporations.
I’ve used CreditKarma for years now to stay on top of things. It’s worked well for me. As the person who runs creditsuit.org says, they do display targeted ads. This is not a problem for me. creditsuit.org also displays ads. I fail to see the difference…except that CreditKarma’s are probably more effective. What creditsuit.org describes as deceptive practices — displaying ads — is just crazy. Yeah, we know there are ads, as we can see them, which is kind of the whole point of ads.
Creditsuit.org seems to imply that CreditKarma will have telemarketers calling me day and night and will steal my identity and give me false information about my credit to try to keep me under the thumb of ‘The Man.’ Couldn’t be further from the truth.

John,
I have been using Credit Karma for the last 6 months and I havent had any problems.
I do agree with Sara Creditsuit.org is a bit over the top on the ad’s. It is ironic you can donate to them to support free speech but trying to comment on that website is nothing close to free speech since if you don’t agree with them they will delete your comment it seems like.
