Paying bills online can boost credit score

Want to boost your credit score?
Easy: Start paying your credit card bills online.
Timely payments are the best way to keep your credit reports clean, and keeping your credit score high.
Waiting for the U.S. post office to deliver your payment risks making your payment late, and it's much simpler and you are more in control to use credit card online payment web sites to make your credit card payment, whether you are paying off your balance in full or simply making the regular minimum monthly payment.
It's simple, it's convenient, and it's safe. These sites have implemented fantastic security systems to protect your financial privacy. Still, I wouldn't recommend using these services if you only have access to the Internet through public computers, like at your local library or coffeeshop. That's asking for trouble. In fact, I'd recommend that you not pay your online bills using a wi-fi connection if at all possible. I don't care what anyone says, it's still possible for thieves to intercept Blackberry or wireless laptop communications.
Final advice: pay your credit card bill online, from your home computer.
If you need help, simply turn your credit card over and call the toll-free number on the back and ask the company's customer service reps how to get started with making your credit card payments online.
