 TITLE: Can Automatic Bill Payments Help My Credit Score? CONTENT: What to Watch Out For\n---------------------\nPutting your bills on payment autopilot might sound great, but it's important that you still keep track of your bills to make sure there are no mistakes. With automatic bill payment, it can be easy to lose track of how much you're spending, which may lead to overdrafting your debit account—a whole other problem.\nAutomatic bill payment is best used as a security measure, but it's important to still know how much money is going in and out of your accounts. If you're juggling multiple bills, it may be good to enroll in electronic alerts that will help you stay on top of your payments. Also consider getting a free credit report to see where your credit is at as you work toward improving it with autopay.\nEach creditor and bank is different, so if you are interested in automating your payments, contact your lender or bank for more information.
