About This Lesson
In this NPGF Case Study, students take on the role of credit counselor and learn how to analyze credit profiles. They see the consequences that having a "thin file" can have on renting an apartment or other financial decisions. As a counselor, they will do research to develop strategies to improve the credit scores of their student clients. They also learn the mechanics of developing a debt paydown plan. Note: This is the Spanish version of this case study. You can access the English version here. For more Case Studies go to www.ngpf.org/case-studies/.
