Myth #13 FICO scores are locked in for six months, and that they change every six months.

Myth #14 "I don't need to check my credit report if I pay my bills on time."

Myth #15 "Checking my own credit report harms my credit standing."

Myth #16 Consolidating into a low interest credit card will increase your score.
