February Credit Checkup: A 30-Minute Monthly Routine

Your February credit checkup

In February, tax documents show income and withholding. A thirty-minute review keeps small errors from becoming seven-year problems.

The checklist

• Pull at least one bureau report (rotate through all three across the year, free weekly).
• Scan for new accounts, inquiries, and addresses you do not recognize.
• Check every card's reported balance against your own statement.
• Confirm autopay minimums cover statement balances after any rate or limit change.
• Focus item: verify employer and lender information returns match your records.
• Log one goal for next month in your workspace.
