Review: Credit Demystified





If you need a healthy dose of quality credit education, look no further than CreditDemystified.com.

This credit education web site, backed by Countrywide Home Loans (Countrywide is one of the largest mortgage product provider in the nation), includes the following sections:

1) How to Improve One's Credit: Information regarding credit repair, credit counseling, and whether one should consider bankruptcy.
2) Credit Learning Center: Introduction to different types of loan products, and especially, how mortgage loan process works.
3) A 10-question Credit Intelligent Quotient test that only takes 5 minutes to complete (and I got a perfect 10!)
4) Introduction to Credit Scores: Explains credit bureaus, credit reports and FICO scores.
5) Introduction to Home Loans: What is fixed rate mortgage, what is adjustable rate mortgage, and what is combination rate mortgage (if you are not familiar with this term, you are not alone. It is actually hybrid loans with a number of years of fixed rate, accompanied by adjustable rate, like 5/1 ARM, 7/1 ARM, etc.)

It is not a surprise that CreditDemystified.com does have its commercial purpose, though. For one, Countrywide Home Loan's toll free number is prominent in every single page.

The only weakness of this site, perhaps, is in its domain name. I'm not sure how many people can spell demystified correct, and even for those who can, CreditDemystified.com is certainly not an easy domain name to remember.
