How can you improve your credit score?

It's virtually impossible to change your score in the time between when most people decide to buy a home or refinance their mortgage and when they apply. So the short answer is, you really can't "on the spot." But there are strategies you can live with to make sure when you apply for a loan your score is as high as possible.

Make sure that the information each of the three credit reporting bureaus has on you is consistent and up to date. Order a copy of your credit report about once a year, and dispute any inaccuracies.   If you would like an expert to review your credit with you and suggest appropriate strategies, please call us toll free at  (877) 544 -1404.

Note: Theoretically, if a series of credit reports is requested on your behalf during a limited amount of time, your score goes down until time passes without any inquiries. Changes in the law though have made "consumer-originating" credit report requests not count so much. Also, a series of requests in relation to getting a mortgage or car loan is not treated the same as a number of credit card requests in a limited time. This is because the credit bureaus, and lenders, realize that people request their own credit reports to keep up with what's on them, and smart consumers shop around for the best mortgage and car loans.

Unsolicited credit card solicitations in the mail don't count against your credit report, so don't worry.

The two main components of your credit score are your payment history and the amounts you owe. Bankruptcy filings and foreclosures, which can stay on your credit report for as many as 10 years, can significantly lower your score. It's never a good idea to take on more credit than you can handle.

Late payments work against you. It's extremely important to pay bills on time, even if it's only the monthly payment.

Dont "max out" your credit lines. Since the size of the balance on your open accounts is a factor, lower balances are better.

We will work with you to improve your credit score.  Improving your credit score by a mere 30 to 50 points can result in a dramatic reduction in interest rates and monthly mortgage payments.  Money magazine recently reported that a 50 point increase in a consumer's credit score would result in about a 1.5% reduction of the available interest rate!!  This results in tens of thousands of dollars saved over the life of most loan products.  How can we help you raise your credit scores?  We can assist you in rescoring your credit.  Call us at 877 544 1404 or 301 743 6622.
