laurar April 13, 2012 Renter Resources No Comments

It’s only springtime and it’s 80 degrees across the country. Summer is almost here and time is moving at lightning speed towards that big day for hundreds of thousands college students – GRADUATION! Is that you?

It’s exciting and super scary at the same time. Have you found a job? Figured out where you want to live? Have your parents said “you’re on your own!” after graduation?

Thankfully, with the Internet, students have so many resources to help get started.

Sites like WilliamPaid.com let you pay rent online via credit card, debit card or bank account to help as you rent your first apartment after college. With so many items on your graduation “To Do” list, it’s important to begin planning for a new apartment including finding a possible roommate, negotiating rent and paying it in full and on time.

Lots of responsibility, right? Well, there are many resources, such as My Colleges and Careers and After College that new graduates can look to as they enter the “real world.”

WilliamPaid.com allows you to pay rent online free when using a bank account (checking, savings, and money market). If you need even greater flexibility, WilliamPaid offers a FlexPay option that allows users to pay some or all of their rent online using a credit or debit card.

We’re dedicated to renters like you and know how freaky it can be when a student graduates and is thrust out in the world for the first time and is expected to take care of everything themselves.

Soon to be graduates also need to be aware of their credit score. Credit Score? What credit score? Having a solid credit score is important and paying bills such as rent online can help build creditworthiness. With WilliamPaid, you can have your rent payments reported to a nationally recognized credit bureau.

Each month WilliamPaid will display your current bill payment credit score so you can see how your creditworthiness is progressing.

On time rent payments can help establish and build creditworthiness. Consumer Credit Reports are perfect for new graduates who have not yet established a verifiable credit history, but want to demonstrate that they pay their bills on time.

So, get started on your plans for the future. You’ve been preparing for this day for a long time. Embrace it!
