Rebuild Your Credit
We like to say “yes,” even if no one else will.
If you have a low credit score, below 619, life can be a little tougher. You may not qualify for loans or rentals, and you could pay higher interest rates and insurance premiums. Some employers even check credit reports when making hiring decisions. Because it’s so important, Peninsula is committed to helping you make a fresh start, get back on your feet, and rebuild healthy credit.
Peninsula works with you to take the necessary steps to build your credit score, pay down debt, and get back on track.
