Am I stepping over the line by helping tenants build credit?

[Brent Paul]

I volunteer some of my time at a local nonprofit helping others rebuild their credit and get their life back on track.  After I screwed my credit up so bad in my early twenties I feel it's only fair I help others so they don't make the same mistakes I did.

After having to explain to quite a few tenants how important credit is and what a credit score is I have prepared a small packet for all prospective or current tenants that gives them information on helping to improve their credit.  I hate to see some people give up when sometimes it's just getting things disputed or setting up payment plans to catch up on bills.  Some banks do it for free too.

Does anyone else do anything like this or am I just asking for trouble?
