Faces of RentReporters: Elizabeth Rivas

Elizabeth Rivas, Program Director, City of Long Beach, CA

Why I Joined RentReporters:

For a long time, I assumed that there was nothing much I could do about my low credit score. Then, a friend of mine heard about RentReporters and told me to sign up. I signed up recently and my score has increased OVER 100 points! When I joined RentReporters, my credit score was 490. Today it is over 600 and keeps going up.

Before RentReporters, I didn’t know much about credit. When I was younger, I had a secured credit card. I had pretty much given up on getting credit. I had a basic understanding of credit and how it works, and I realized that I needed to do something to start improving my score. Now, I feel empowered by my new credit score and I feel motivated to work on my credit. It’s like I have a clean slate! With my new understanding of how credit works, I now stay on top of my credit. I’m careful with what I do with my credit and pay my bills on time.

My Experience with RentReporters:

The RentReporters team was amazing. They answered all my questions and kept me updated on the process. I tell my friends about RentReporters and I say- Invest in Your Self. I am so happy I joined RentReporters.
