Stephaine Taylor is a certified credit counselor and personal finance educator with over fifteen years of experience helping consumers repair, rebuild, and optimize their credit profiles. She founded ClearScore Advisory, a credit education firm that has guided more than eight thousand clients through structured credit improvement programs, raising their scores by an average of 97 points within ninety days.
After witnessing how opaque credit scoring systems prevented hardworking individuals from accessing fair lending rates, rental housing, and employment opportunities, Taylor developed the step by step 90-day credit fix methodology presented in this book. Her approach focuses on actionable, legally compliant strategies that target the highest weighted factors in the FICO scoring model, enabling rapid and sustainable score improvement.
Taylor holds a Certified Credit Counselor (CCC) designation from the National Association of Certified Credit Counselors and has contributed credit education segments to major media outlets including NPR, Bloomberg QuickTake, and Credit.com. She has also served as a subject matter expert for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's financial literacy initiatives.
She lives in Denver, Colorado, where she coaches individual clients, trains other credit professionals, and speaks at financial wellness events for employers, community organizations, and higher education institutions. Her work has been featured in USA Today, Bankrate, and The Simple Dollar. The 90-Day Credit Fix is her first book.
