Default How to increase credit score - 03-22-2008

Its good to share a story how to increase a credit score, I thing it not easy job to accomplish but hard work will help you achieve sucess.

Pay your bills on time.

Your payment history is a major factor in determining your credit score. If you pay your bills late, or had an account referred to collections, your credit score will take a major hit.

Increase your credit limit get American Express credit card they allow you to get a limit what you deserve believe me! Another large factor is the amount of your debt in relation to your credit limit. For example if you have $10,000 available limit and you have used $2,000 spend (debt) your ration is 20% pretty good! To make the debt/credit limit ratio look better, you can try to call your credit card company and request an increase in your credit limit. Don't use the extra credit though! That defeats the whole purpose and puts you further in debt!

Don't apply for many cards at once becuase of inquire, too many inquire per year is braking your credit history. Let say that 2 credit inquire per year is enought. Credit inquire will not improve your credit score because it look that you are seeking for another debt and you may be in financial trouble that was a bank may thing about you.

Dont ever close an open credit card account. If you pay off a credit card down to a zero balance, leave it open. Remember that a positive factor for your credit score is how much available credit you have at your disposal when compared to your credit balance, in addition to the length of your credit history. I made one of this mistake and I was paying my credit card for over 10 years and close because I didn't needed and it was the worst mistake I could ever made!

Don't apply for loans within long period of time meaning that you have 30 days to apply for a home loans, even if they pull you credit report 20 times they probably will count it as 1 inquire.

Check for errors on your credit report. Examine your credit report for errors and contact the credit reporting agencies to fix any errors on your credit report.


If you take action and follow these tips, you will be able to give your credit score and immediate boost and gradually increase it even more as time passes. The major keys are to pay your bills on time and reduce your debt amounts when compared to your credit limit. This has a twofold benefit of improving your credit score and reducing your debt.Remeber there are never " shortcut" when repair of fixing your credit report dont be fool!

Default Credit Score Determination - 03-22-2008

If you're thinking about buying a house or a car, your credit score is a very important number becuse lender will pull your credit history mostly with a 3 credit burea , experian, transunion and equifax I am sure that they will look on you fico automobile score and a fico credit score not a fako dont be fool and thing that fako and fico is the same credit score

Fako is generic credit score
Fico is orginal credit score

There are many factors that depend on you credit score some are:
What intreast rate you will pay for the money you have borrowed will be determined large part of you credit score

Most lenders have stricted rules about handing out the best terms, and those rules almost always place a major emphasis on your credit score. If their best rates are offered to borrowers with a score of 720 or higher and yours is a 690, those two points could cost you thousands of dollars.

Tips to improve your credit score

Delinquent payments and collections can have a major negative impaction your FICO score over 90 days wow! 200 point at least!
If you have missed payments, get current and stay current.
The longer you pay your bills on time, the better your credit score.
Be aware that paying off a collection account will not remove it from your credit report.It will stay on your report for seven years or more. If you are having trouble making ends meet, contact your creditors or see a legitimate credit counselor.

THe best to improve your fico score is to dispute inaccurate information from your credit report, all deregatory, all late payment, payoff your credit card bills, dispute balance if is inaccurate, ask your creditor to remove 30 days late payment, and pay off your balance as soon as possible, stay current on your montly bills
