Meet our Winner Jacqueline from Cheltenham
Credit Karma Member since: I’ve been a member for 9 years. I joined when Credit Karma was known as Noddle.
How do you use Credit Karma?
When I first heard about credit scores, it was a new concept to me. I only learned about it after a financial adviser at the bank mentioned it.
My sister later told me about Noddle, which initially appealed to me as it was a free service to check my score.
Now, I use Credit Karma on a weekly basis to monitor my score and feel assured that if I ever need to borrow money, Credit Karma will have me covered. Using Credit Karma, I’m able to identify the factors affecting my score and what steps I can take to improve them.
I’m using my prize money for: Part of the money will go towards paying off debt, which will improve one of the factors [affecting my score], and the rest will be used to purchase a new mobile phone that I’ve been promising myself.
