How Divorce Impacts Your Credit
Divorce itself doesn’t hurt your score, but the fallout can—unpaid joint accounts, legal fees, or income loss can drag your credit down. Late payments or defaults tied to your ex may also affect your score. Credit1Solutions has helped Americans from Oregon to Florida recover post-divorce—let’s get your credit back on solid ground.
