The Internet makes it easy to get your credit question answered quickly for free.

The wealth of information online about the credit industry continues to grow, making it easier to find answers to your questions.

Instructions

1

Think carefully about your credit question and consider what source would be best for answering it. If the question is regarding credit as it relates to home financing, then it may be a good question for a real estate expert who answers credit questions online. For example, author Gerri WIllis responds to readers' emails through CNNMoney.com.

2

Insert your question word for word into a search engine such as Google. You may find your answer immediately in the top results. If not, simplify your question or make it more precise. Consider the question: "Should I pay off credit card debt with money I have in a CD?" Change it to a more general question such as: "Should I pay off a credit card with savings?"

3

Ask your question by emailing an expert who does Q & A articles or broadcasts over the Internet. Also, some publications still have letters to the editor, columnists or qualified experts.

4

Visit a forum that deals with the subject matter of your question. Depending on how common it is, the forum may already have a thread of users responding to it. If not, post the question and soon there will be a wealth of responses to it from users all over the world. Forums aren't always the best source of information, as there is seldom any regulation, verification, or filtering done by managers, but users will often point you in the right direction if nothing else.
