Understanding credit scores can be hard. It's tricky to know how to improve your score, but one way of doing this is by setting up direct debits. Managing direct debits well can help your score. Here’s what to know:

Let's take a closer look at the relationship between direct debit and credit score.
A direct debit is a way to automatically pay for things. You might use a direct debit for things like utilities, phone contracts, and insurance. If you pay your direct debits on time, your credit score can shoot up massively! Direct debits can help you avoid skipped payments, by doing everything for you. If you were to miss your payments, your credit score will lower, and your chances of getting finance will lower with it.
Setting up direct debits for your bills can help your credit score. This means your bills are paid on time. Of course, setting up a direct debit won't help your score, but if it stops you missing payments, you should do it. Just make sure you always have enough money in your account to afford your direct debits.
Sometimes life can be tough, you might miss or be late with payments. If this happens, talk to your lender or biller. They might be more helpful than you think. You might be able to adjust your payment schedule or set up direct debits to stay on track. Are you a Marsh Finance customer having trouble with your payments? We’re here to help!
