In this classic episode, I’m talking with credit expert Shante Nicole about what’s really going on with credit right now and why your score might drop even if you’ve done nothing wrong. We break down how lenders are reacting to the economy, what credit card companies are doing behind the scenes, and what you can do to protect your credit today. This is super important with so many changes happening fast, so if you’ve been confused or stressed about your score lately, this episode will help make things clear and easy to understand.
