ISFS joined with the Credit Builders Alliance to bring you LearnAboutCreditReports.org for CBA members and consumers who want to learn how credit reports work. The website was funded by Experian™.

After learning about credit reports, take the LifeValues Quiz and other LifeValues exercises created by ISFS Founding Director, Dr. Lois A. Vitt. They can be found on the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) Website at this address: https://smartaboutmoney.org/Tools-Resources/LifeValues-Quiz.aspx.
