 TITLE: Is Leasing a Car a Good Idea? CONTENT: Improve Your Credit Before You Lease\n------------------------------------\nIf you're interested in leasing a car but unsure if your credit score is strong enough to help you qualify, it may be smart to spend a little time working to improve your credit first. This could mean lowering outstanding debts and credit card balances, paying off charge-offs and past-due accounts, and continuing to pay all of your bills on time. You can also use Experian Boost™† , a free tool that can add your cellphone, utility and video streaming bills to your credit report, potentially giving your credit score an easy, instant lift. END
