Greg Popovich asked:
What is a credit score?
Using credit means borrowing money which is expected to be paid back after a certain amount of time. Therefore, a credit score is a statistical record which determines the likelihood of an individual paying back the money he or she has borrowed.
The need for good credit scores
Without a good credit score, the chances of qualifying for a loan (i.e. house loans, educational loans, etc.) or for purchases paid through installments (i.e. a new car, a new computer, etc.) are substantially reduced. Also, having a bad credit score may also reduce the chances for employment. Most employers check a person’s credit rating as part of a background check prior to hiring.
Different ways of improving credit scores
There are various ways to improve credit scores. These include consolidation, negotiating with creditors, and a systematical approach to paying debts.
a) Debt consolidation
This process combines multiple loans into a single loan. A consolidated loan usually has a lower interest rate. It also eliminates having to keep track of more than one loan. So, not only does it save money, but it is also a more organized way to settle debts.
b) Negotiation for credit card bills
Most credit card companies today are forced into a corner due to the rise of credit card defaulters (people who fail to pay their credit card debts). In turn, creditors are more open to negotiations when it comes to lowering their client’s interest rates. This definitely makes paying bills easier, and subsequently improves one’s credit score.
c) Avoiding non payment of small amount bills
It is always better to start out small, and paying debts is no exception. People’s common misconception is that by paying off their larger bills first, they are taking care of the larger part of the problem. They fail to consider that settling smaller bills beforehand is a more effective solution to get out of debt as well as a quicker way to improve their credit score. Smaller bills are easier to pay back. So, by settling them first, the debtor avoids having multiple bills and is able to improve their credit score with less time. It beats having to wait it out while trying pay back a rather large bill.

Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Hector Milla asked:
Have you ever tried to get your loan refinanced without success? if your answer is yes, then the most probably scheme is that you could not do it because of your credit score. However, there are some simple measures that you can take in order to improve your FICO rating, this article is intended to analyze 3 aspect of credit reporting, such as; getting your credit score raised over 600, avoiding higher interest rates and getting your credit score report for free, hopefully you will find this information useful.

How To Avoid Higher Interest Rates
While you have bad credit score there is no way to get lower interest rates, because you are for lender companies a high risk customer. Consequently, there are two ways to avoid higher interest rates;
1. By improving your scoring and later on getting a refinance loan with a lower interest rate, or
2. Avoiding going into new debt and loans during the span of time you are working on improving your credit report.
How To Get A Free Credit Report
The first step in order to improve your credit rating is getting your credit report for free, you can do it once a year via major consumer reporting agencies such as Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. However, take in consideration that the annual free credit report doesn’t contain your scoring and probably you will be fine taking the offer of a credit reporting service.

So, start working in your FICO rating now, if possible through specialized advise coming from an expert in this field, this way you will secure good results in no more than 90-120 days.

Andrew Regan asked:
The first step to improving your credit rating is to check your credit report. This contains the history of your credit accounts and repayment record and is one of the main sources of information used to calculate your credit score. Make sure it’s accurate and up-to-date and if you disagree with anything, contact the relevant lender, explain the problem and ask them to remove or amend the entry.
Next, ensure you are registered to vote, as lenders use the electoral roll to check that you live where you claim to live, as a precaution against fraud. If you aren’t registered or are registered at another address, they may ask for further proof of residence or even turn down your application.
If you have divorced or separated from a partner and had a joint mortgage, bank, credit card or utility account then tell your lenders, cancel the joint accounts and reapportion the debt between you. If you don’t and your ex-partner has a patchy credit history, it could in turn lower your score.
Each credit application you make will trigger a search of your credit report and leave a record known as a footprint. Never fire off random applications for credit in the hope that one will be accepted, as if potential lenders see lots of footprints, they may assume you are desperate for money or even suspect a fraud. Ask for a quotation search, which will not show up to other lenders.
If you have unused credit accounts, close these and consider rolling up several expensive debts into a single, more cost-effective loan. Always make repayments on time and never take out more credit to pay off existing loans – if you’re having trouble, let your lenders know as they may be able to work out a schedule of payments you can afford. If special circumstances mean you’ve had problems in the past – for example, you had an accident – then you may be able to add an explanation to your credit report.
It is important to note that you should never lie or blur the truth on an application form – it is fraud, and lenders are likely to find out, which will make it harder for you to borrow in the future.
Your credit report changes with your circumstances, so it’s important you know what it contains and that everything is current and correct. If you notice any strange activity on your credit report, such as a loan application you didn’t make or a mystery account in your name, you could be a victim of Identity fraud. So, get in touch with the relevant lender and be prepared to provide proof that you’re not responsible. And remember, the earlier you act, the better.
Therefore, check that you have everything in place by arranging a free credit report it could help you get the best deals on loans, cards, mortgages and other forms of credit. So, it pays to improve your credit rating.

Your Personal Credit Rating Explained
Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Francine Denson asked:
Your personal credit rating is considered any time you are seeking a loan or line of credit. This is what ultimately determines if you get the loan or not and if so what interest rate you will pay. For this reason, your credit rating is one of the most important numbers in your life. Having a good score can save you money while having a poor credit score will cost you dearly.
Learning your personal credit rating is not difficult. There are many services online that offer a free credit report, and some that also offer a credit score. Be aware that these are two different things. A credit report is a look at your credit history and accounts where as a credit score (also known as a FICO score) is a numerical representation of the risk you represent to a lender.
It is a good idea to keep tabs on your credit especially if you are looking to buy a home, car or even if you are seeking a job as employers are looking at this data these days as well. Another good reason to mind your credit is that you will be able to detect fraud and identity theft before it destroys your credit. Unfortunately, identity theft is becoming more and more common and it is costing innocent people countless sums of money and time.
So what can you do? Your first step is to order a free credit report with credit scores. Its very important that you choose a provider that offers the ability to see your scores and not just your report. Your scores are what lenders are mostly interested in, so you should know those as well. Some free credit report services offer this and some don’t. Your best bet is to use a comparison tool like the one linked below to find out which services offer the scores as well.
Maintaining and improving your personal credit rating is easier if you use a credit monitoring service. These are often offered as free trials when you request your credit report, so you will get a chance to see how it works before they bill you and you can decide if it’s something you want to keep or not. Overall, they are incredibly useful because they watch your credit for you and alert you to changes on your reports. This is good for those who are actively repairing their credit and also good for detecting identity theft early on before the damage sinks in.
As you can see, learning more about your credit rating is as simple as taking a look at your current credit report and credit scores. This information is available for free from a number of services and it will give you great insight in to your current borrowing power.
