When it comes to credit score, debt, and personal finance, 2017 was one of the most tumultuous and polarizing years on record. We saw the stock market surge, the real estate market come roaring back to pre-2007 levels, and the nation’s average credit score reach 700 for the first time ever.

But we also experienced surging credit card and debt levels, the Equifax hack and other mass data thefts that compromised the records of almost 200 million Americans, and skyrocketing rents still not enough to revive rock-bottom home ownership rates.

Through it all, the Blue Water Credit team has worked diligently, helping more people improve their credit scores and save money than ever.

What will 2018 hold? We’re not sure, but Blue Water Credit will be here as always, offering our advice, resources, and the best credit repair services in the business – all so you can make it a financially fruitful year.
