PWR Building: Credit & The 5 C’s

Ever wonder what happens after you hit “apply”? Let’s learn the rules of credit so that we can “preapprove” ourselves.

Credit is more than just a number—it’s your “financial footprint.” This session takes you behind the scenes of the lending process. Instead of waiting to be told where you stand, we’ll teach you how the system works so you can take the lead.

The Session at a Glance:

• “Preapprove” Yourself: Learn the 5 C’s of Credit (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Conditions) so you know exactly what lenders are looking for before you apply.
• Audit Your Footprint: A technical walkthrough on how to read and check your own credit report for errors.
• Score Breakdown: We’ll deconstruct the variables that actually move your score up or down.
• Spot the Traps: Learn to identify predatory “quick cash” red flags that can drain your progress.

PWR (pronounced power) is built on the belief that you already carry the power to shape your financial future. Our goal is to offer practical financial education that meets you where you are, without judgment or strings attached.
