 TITLE: Will Changing Your Name Impact Your Credit? CONTENT: Credit by Any Other Name\n------------------------\nA few months after your name change, once all the dust has settled, it's a good idea to review your credit report to make sure your new name has been added to all of your accounts. If for some reason it hasn't, check with your creditors to make sure they're reporting your new name. (Keep in mind that your old name will remain on the credit report as a former name.) If you open any joint credit accounts after getting married, checking your credit score regularly can keep you up to date on how the new accounts are affecting your credit either positively or negatively.
