WHEN NOT TO SHOP YOUR CREDIT
If you are applying for a mortgage it is natural to apply several places in order to get the best rate.In this instance it does not hurt your credit so long as the checks are all done in a 45 days or less period.However applying for revolving credit or credit cards,the same theory does not apply because you may be approved for multiple cards which you cannot support.

It's really the outcome of our own present monetary challenges,its more difficult to acquire cash for a mortgage or even a car,and especially a department store than it's ever been.

TRANSFERRING BALANCES
Do not transfer debts to a lower interest rate card if the balance on the new card ends up being 80% or more of the card limit. Your newly consolidated debt can lower your credit score. It is better to have five cards with with 20% usage than a single card nearly maxed out. Try and keep your balance below the 30% mark.
Monday, November 28, 2011
FACTORS THAT AFFECT CREDIT SCORES
The 5 factors weighed to calculate your score are: 35% payment history; 30% amounts owed; 15% length of credit history; 10% new credit; 10% types of credit. An individul's age is not a factor, but length of credit is therefore young people are at a disadvantage. A few accounts of 5 years with no late payments score higher than 15 new accounts of no late payments.

CREDIT REPAIR LETTER
Credit repair letters are formal numbers addressed to the credit reporting agencies,requesting them how to clean up the existing credit score issues. Simply, it can be describe as a letter asking for the removal of any untrue information existing on your credit.
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
AVERAGE CREDIT SCORES BY AGE
Credit scores range from 300 to 850. 720 or higher is a good score and below 580 is poor. Average credit scores by age are 18-24 = 638; 25-34 = 652; 35-44 = 659; 45-54 = 685; 55+ = 724. The 18-39 age group had the greatest number of late payments and the 40-59 age group had the greatest amont of debt.

IMPROVE CREDIT WITH INSTALLMENT LOANS
Let's find out the best way to qualify for an installment loan. First of all a steady employment history is the best and quickest way to ensure loan process will be successful. Already having a decent credit score is also helpful. Borrowing against property such as your home or car is also a good way to ensure your loan is given. Just make sure you can keep up with your payments, or else you might just default on your loan and your property will be taken.
Thursday, November 17, 2011
WHAT'S YOUR SCORE?
Unfortunately we don't start with a clean slate as far as credit scores go. It takes time to earn good numbers. Young people will likely have a lower score than an older person because the length of a credit history accounts for 15% of the score. They do not have the depth and length of credit history as older consumers.

TRANSFERRING BALANCES
When transferring balances from one card to another, the inquiry on your credit report from a new lender can lower your score by a few points, but the real problem is what you do with the old account. If you close it, your credit limit goes down and your credit-utilization ratio increases if you have debt on any other cards. The best bet is to leave the old account open and keep a zero balance.

Banks Require Higher Credit Score Today
A score in the upper 500's used to be good enough for a government mortgage. The new gold standard is 740. One $100 collection could cost you 120 points. The more recent a delinquency, the worse it is for your score. Your late payment yesterday will cost you more than being late 4 years ago.
Tuesday, May 31, 2011
Spring Clean Your Credit
1)Check your Credit Report. Make sure there are no errors. 2)Assess your credit card debt. Plan how to avoid further debt. 3)Improve your interest-rate. Try and negotiate a lower rate or waive annual fee. 4) Prioritize high-interest debt. Pay off highest interest cards first. 5)Pay your bills on time 6) start budgeting and hold yourself accountable for your spending.
Thursday, May 26, 2011
Credit Scores
The exact formula varies, but credit scores are based on complex algorithms that include factors such as the length of your credit history, the amount of available credit, outstanding debt and negative marks such as bankruptcies, collections or late payments. Of all the different types of scores the FICO is the most widely used by lenders and range from 300 to 850.
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
Mortage Missteps Affects Your Credit Score
30 days late on mortgage payment could drop your score 60 to over 100 points. A short sale in lieu of foreclosure will probably cost you 70 to 125 points as well. A short sale or foreclosure with the amount of unpaid balance disclosed could cost you over 150 points. It could take between as long as 3 years to return to your original credit score after a late payment and up to 7 years from a foreclosure or short sale.

HR CAN SEE YOUR REPORT
Your credit report and your credit score are two completely different things and are not interchangeable. Employers in most states can look up your credit report as part of a pre-employment screening and even during the term of employment. However, they do not have access to your credit score. Credit restoration is removal of negative items from your credit report.
Thursday, May 19, 2011
RESTORING YOUR CREDIT
Get a secured credit card by depositing $2 or $3 hundred in a bank or credit union and using the deposit to secure a credit card to make small purchases every month and paying them off at the end of the month. However, never use more than one-third of your available credit. Similarly, take out a small loan and making timely payments every month.

MORTGAGES
It is common after marriage to buy a home and this is when a spouse's credit score is most critical. If the mortgage is under both names the bank will check both credit scores. The lender may take an average of the two scores or use the lower score. If your score is 780 and your spouse is 580, it probably makes a difference.
Monday, May 16, 2011
USE CREDIT CARDS STRATEGICALLY
Credit mainteance is not crdit abstinence. Use your credt cards on small purchases because ativity is a factor in setting your FICO score. Use your credit card to pay at the restaurant, but pay the balance in full to keep your account active. Do not close old credit card accounts because it shartens your credit histor and lowers your score.
Tuesday, May 10, 2011
HIDDEN COSTS OF BAD CREDIT
There is no comparison of how much a mortgage interest would be for someone with a 550 credit score vs. a score of 750 higher. Why? With a score that low you are unlikely to get a mortgage. However the diffrence between a score of 620 and 750 is approximately 2% or 6% vs. 4%
Monday, May 9, 2011
BUILDING CREDIT
Keep your accounts in an active status and use the credit cart at least once a month. Most lenders want t see at least a year of activity before offering you services. Get a secured credit card and use it instead of cash. You apply your own cash to secure the card and your charge limit amounts to what you put on the card which is usually a minimum of $300.
Friday, May 6, 2011
YOUR CREDIT SCORE IS NOT
Your credit score ignores your age, salary, and occupation. It does not take into account financial gifts, support you receive or your financial assets. Credit scores are less important for borrowers who seek loans that take these factors into account.
Thursday, May 5, 2011
CREDIT SCORE AND PAYMENT HISTORY
A long history of making payments on time is one of the most important items lenders consider before approving you for credit. Accounts opened for 10 years or more will help your score and improve the average age of all accounts.
Wednesday, May 4, 2011
HOW TO BUILD YOUR CREDIT
When realizing that it may be time to rebuild ones credit may seem impossible, it's NOT!!!
1. Start by getting a copy of your credit report.
2. Keep the accounts in active status. Use the Credit Card at least once a month. Make sure you pay the minimum payments on time each month.
3. Get a secured credit card and use it as much as possible instead of your cash. Most banks will allow consumers to get a secured credit card by applying their own cash to it.
4. Become authorized by a family member. If you can find a family member that will trust you and put you on their account as an authorized user it will show on your credit history.
5. Get a department store credit card. Store cards are easier to receive, but usually have interest rates. This is a good way to establish credit just be careful that it's usage does not get out of hand.

BUILDING CREDIT
Do not open a credit card at every department store that offers one for 25% off the purchase price. In fact adding a new card once a year and having it remain open at least 5 years is a good gauge. Late payments and excessive card debt affects beginners more than it does consumers with larger and older credit files.
Friday, April 29, 2011
FACTORS AFFECTING YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Opening and closing credit can drop a score up to 60 points. The closer the balance on a credit card is to the limit, the more a score drops. If the balance is over 10%of the limit, the score can drop 100 points. A score is affected less by negative information as the information ages. Making an account current does not remove late payments in the past.
Thursday, April 28, 2011
CREDIT REPAIR MYTHS
#1. Paying off a past-due account will change your account to a "paid" status and no longer reflect negatively. #2. Negative-listings are required by law to remain on my credit report at least 7 years. Laws sets a maximum number of years to remain on your score, but not a minimum. #3. Bankruptcies,foreclosures and tax liens can never be taken off my report. Wrong. Almost any negative listing can be removed.

WHAT IS CREDIT SCORING
Credit scoring is a system creditors use to help determine whether to give you credit and decide the terms you are offered. The credit scoring system helps predict how creditworthy you are and how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make the payments when they're due.

Be careful when requesting an increase to your credit limit though. Having $80,000 of available credit when you make $60,000 per year is a negative.

WHEN TO PAY OFF AN ACCOUNT BALANCE
Paying off a loan may have a negative effect. Often lenders require an applicant to have at least 3 open, active accounts for 24 months or longer. If the loan is paid off it doesn’t count as one of the 3 accounts. However, if you pay off a loan, your credit history is updated to reflect that and stays on your report for 10 years. Negative information stays on your report for 7 years.
Friday, March 25, 2011
Effect of Inquiries on your Credit Report
For large purchases, i.e. mortgages or auto loans, when shopping around for the best quote, try and arrange for all inquiries to be made within a 15 to 30 day period. They will have minimal negative impact on your credit report if they are all within a short time of each other.

Friday, March 11, 2011
ABOUT YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Paying your bills on time does not automatically raise your credit score. It is only 35% of the total points. Carrying a balance is not always good if it is more than 15% of your overall limit. HR cannot see your credit score, only your credit report. Only lenders have access to your score. Short sales and foreclosures have the same effect on your score. Bankruptcies stain your score for 7 years, but your score improves as the item gets older.
Thursday, March 10, 2011
CREDIT SCORES MATTER
If you have a good credit score you were probably asked for a smaller security deposit where you currently rent. What did you borrow from your landlord? The right to live in that apartment. Don't let a late payment cost you a job. Prospective employers are allowed to use your credit history to decide whether or not to hire you.

THE PERFECT CREDIT SCORE
Why? A high score says you're responsible, trustworthy, and in control of your life. A perfect score is 850. Payment history is the single most important factor. Next percentage of what you owe to how much credit is available. Your mix of credit is important, i.e.,mortgage, credit cards, and auto loans.
Monday, March 7, 2011
WAYS TO WRECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Do not settle past due debts to play less than you owe. Recent information is more important than past mistakes. Do not transfer balances from a high interest card to a low interest card because new accounts decrease your score and it reduces your debt to available credit ratio. Do not close old credit cards because creditors like to see a lot of available credit. Do not pay off your mortgage because it provides a necessary credit mix. Do not avoid credit altogether. The ideal number of credit lines open is between 6 and 21.
Friday, March 4, 2011
KEEP YOUR CREDIT SCORE HIGH
Cancel excessive credit cards and lower your available credit and usage ration. The longer you have had an account, the better. Multiple request for credit means you're a greater risk. Squeeze all your inquiries into the same 45-day period and they count as a single inquiry.
