However, temptations are everywhere and shopping is one of women’s weaknesses. So how can we manage our finance and spend wisely? Well with more knowledge and planning we can be financially responsible at the same time hit the retail trails without guilt. Today we are going to discuss about the importance of Household Credit Management, check your Credit Report and i-Score at RAM Credit Information (RAMCI)

The Importance of Household Credit Management, Check Your Credit Report and i-Score @ RAMCI


Majority of us use our credit cards to pay for our purchases and online transactions. Sometimes you lose track of the amount we spend until you received your credit card bill. Bomb time! you got a shocked, you overspend so much and can’t afford to pay or clear our credit card debt. It’s too late! 

We love shopping but we are financially responsible for our spending

To be honest I use my credit cards very often, but now I use it responsibly. Nowadays I don’t carry so much cash partly because of safety reasons. I use credit cards to pay for my household purchases and online transactions such as groceries, petrol, pay bills, online shopping, flight booking, travels bookings and many more.

When I first got my credit card in my mid-twenties I was not good at managing my finance. I still remember there were times when I travel I splurged beyond my means. At the end of the month when the bills arrived I got a shocked and panicked.

That time, I was not able to pay my bills so I have to opt for installment plan and was charged quite a fair bit of interest. I try my best to settle the bill as fast as I can because the longer I drag the more interest I have to pay. Therefore, I cut all my unnecessary expenses, work partime to earn extra money and banned myself from shopping till I finish paying all my debts. So I have learned my lessons and now I am more responsible with my credit card debt.

Well, there are many ways we can keep track of our credit expenditures and learn about debt management. First and foremost, I have clear mind of my family disposable income verses the how much we could afford to spend every month. Budgeting, prioritizing and planning are important for the whole family. We are responsible for our own financial health. 

Get my Credit Score and i-Score at RAMCI

I also checked my Credit Score and i-Score at RAMCI. When I received my report and my i-Score I was relieved because my score is quite high. The higher the score, the lower the risk you are to the lenders or credit grantors. It consists of information on where we live, how we pay your bills and whether we’ve been sued or have been filed for bankruptcy.

With the credit report and i-SCORE I can have a better overview of my credit worthiness and manage my household expenses and debt wisely. Not only that a good credit score will also prepare me and my family for the next big purchase, investment decisions or opportunities.

Usually our credit report will be used by banks, credit grantors, insurers, employers and other businesses permitted by law to evaluate your credit, employment and etc. for approval decisions. This credit score may be used by financial institutions to evaluate our credit worthiness for a mortgage or loan and even determine the interest rate.

Have you check or view your Credit Report or i-Score before? Hmm… if you have not I urged you to check it. Start to take charge of your credit health by checking your Credit Report and i-Score at least once a year. This is to ensure your credit information is accurate and updated, avoid identity theft which happened quite often, ensure a healthy credit profile, increase your chances for loan approval and of course know your credit score.

  16. We have to be careful when it comes to spending using credit cards. We have to pay fines and also the credit score gets affected if default happens.
