Today, Google has changed its interface across all application. It has introduced a new design for top bar with black background.

Also, in some cases it is showing a new search button in blue along with a magnify glass icon. And there are no separator line between left panel and the search result which use to be there earlier. Also, the menu items on the left side panel have completely new icon set with more of black and gray stuff.

Credit Karma – Get and Analyze your free Credit Score

After being member on the CreditScore now I am moving to the CreditKarma. Credit Karma gives you a better view of your score and also provides a detailed report for how you stand for in the each category of the credit traits. Some of like

  • Credit Card Utilization
  • Percent of On-Time Payments
  • Average Age of Open Credit Lines
  • Total Accounts
  • Total Debts
  • Hard Credit Inquiries
  • Debt to Income Ratio

It tells you about your current debt status and how can you overcome to that. The best part I liked on the portal is the “Credit Simulator”. It helps you in determining which step (like adding up a new Credit Card or Loan) will effect your Credit Score and how.

But the whole caveat with the site is how much you are willing to risk your personal sensitive information to provide to a third-party provider. I took the risk and a member of Credit Karma now, lets see what happens next.
