Understanding Your Credit Score: The First Step for First-Time Home Buyers What is your credit score? How is it determined? How does it affect your ability to buy a new home in Dallas?
By Alice Adams, CasaNuevaGuide.com Contributing Editor
Learn all this, plus helpful tips for increasing your credit score. You’re ready to make that dream of home ownership come true, so your first step is to contact a lender and begin the process of determining whether or not you qualify for a home loan…and a big part of this process involves your credit score.
What is your credit score? It’s also known as your FICO score. FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation—the company that developed the formula to determine credit scores.
Your credit score is a number that helps a lender predict how likely you are to make your credit payments on time. It’s based on, but not part of, your credit report. However, your credit score is included with your credit report when a lender requests a copy.
Credit scores affect more than just your ability to borrow money. In addition, many insurance companies select customers and rates based partly on credit scores, and certain employers and landlords base their decisions on this information.
Five things that go into determining your credit score:
How well you pay your bills – and do you pay them on time (approximately 35% of your score)
Amounts owed (approximately 30%)
Length of time you’ve had credit (approximately 15%)
How many new credit accounts have you opened recently (approximately 10%)
Do you have different types of credit in use, like credit cards, bank loans and others (approximately 10%)
What’s a good credit score?
FICO scores range from 300-850. Most people score in the 600s and 700s. To most lenders, FICO credit scores above 700 are very good and a sign of good financial health. FICO scores below 600 indicate high risk to lenders and could lead lenders to charge you higher interest rates or turn down your credit application.
If your score is below 600 to 700, you will receive a list of up to four reasons why your score is not currently higher, and whether your credit report might contain errors. Knowing this can help you figure out how to improve your score.
Nine reasons for a lower credit score are:
More than one account with late payments.
You’ve had one or more accounts go to a collection agency.
Time since an account was paid late is too recent.
Too many accounts 60 to 90 days past due – or more.
Number of past-due accounts.
Too much owed on accounts.
Balances on revolving accounts are too high.
Length of time accounts have been established is too short
Too many accounts with balances.
Lenders buy your FICO score from three national credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
If you obtain a credit report and find errors, call and report it. The three major bureaus in the U.S., Equifax (1-800-685-1111), Trans Union (1-800-916-8800) and Experian (1-888-397-3742) all have procedures for correcting information promptly.
As your data changes at the credit reporting company – when you buy something new on credit, pay off your car note or pay off a credit card, so will any new score based on your credit report. So your FICO score from a month ago is probably not the same score a lender would get from the credit reporting company today.
Here are some tips on how to increase your FICO score:
Pay your bills on time because late payments seriously hurt your score.
Don’t apply for credit frequently – at stores or credit card organizations
If you had a limited amount of credit, try to get more because insufficient credit can lower your score.
Pay down your credit cards. “Maxed out” cards will lower your credit score.

FAQ about the credit score and credit limit (whats my credit score)
Posted: May 27, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
This article is about questons like: the credit score and mortgage, credit score and loan, whats my credit score, credit score and credit limit, etc.
1. How many credit cards should I have?
The number of your credit cards has no impact on your credit score. You can still keep those credit cards that you don’t want to use. If you cancel these credit cards, the length of your credit card history will be affected. This will have a negative impact on your credit score.
2. Is the credit limit the higher the better (for the credit score)?
Generally, if a credit card have a high credit limit, its “use of credit” will be low. This will have a positive impact on your credit score. Another good thing about the high credit limit is that you can get a better credit limit if your average credit limit (from your credit report) is high when applying for a new credit card. In the old days, the banks did not like loan applicants with a high credit limit, especially when you applied for the housing mortgage. But they do not care about this issue now.
3. How to raise my credit limit?
(1). You can call your bank or credit card company to ask for an increase on your credit limit every 6 months. (you will have a better chance to get an increase if you just returned a big amount of money recently)
(2). You can ask for an credit limit increase if you are planning to buy big stuffs (like computer, DC, DV, etc).
(3). Use the credit cards from MBNA, AMEX, CHASE or PROVIDIAN. These credit card companies are generous with their credit limit.(you can get more “whats my credit score” info from our site)
4. Do I get a inquiry in my credit report if I ask for a credit limit increase?
You can ask your credit card companies’ customer representatives about this issue. Generally, If it is a pre-approved application, there will be no inquiry to your credit report. If you will need to fill out lots of forms, this credit limit increase application will probably put a inquiry to your credit report.
5. I don’t spend a lot of money with my credit cards. How to produce some balance in my credit cards’ bills?
(1). You can help your friends to buy big stuffs. (with your credit cards)
(2). Pay your tents with the balance transfer checks (from the credit cards with no transaction fee).
(3). Do some balance transfer (BT) if there is no transaction fee for your credit cards’ BT service.
(4). Pay minimum during the “0% APR on purchase” period. (you can get more “whats my credit score” info from our site)
6. What is the best rate for “balance / credit limit” ?
Actually, what matters for your credit score is the “total balance / total credit limit”. 1-2% is the best rate for you to improve your credit score. If you use more than 50% of one credit card’s credit limit, this will have a negative impact on your credit score. If you are planning to apply for the housing loan or car loan recently, you can increase your credit score by decrease your balance of your credit cards. Your credit score can be improved significantly by controlling this “total balance / total credit limit” rate. (you can get more “whats my credit score” info from our site)In my point of view, the credit score is not that import for you, especially when you are not planning to apply for the housing loan or car loan. You don’t need to care about this too much when making purchases.

FAQ about the credit score, balance transfer (whats my credit score)

This article is about questons like: the credit score and mortgage, credit score and loan, whats my credit score, credit score and balance transfer, etc.
1. Is it good for my credit score if I pay minimum (for the statements of your credit cards) every month?
The “balance/credit limit” rate of your credit cards’ statements will have some influence on your credit score. If you don’t pay off in full on purpose, this may have a positive impact on your credit score. But you will have to pay for the interests if you do so. I will do this to improve my credit score if my credit cards are still in the 0% APR period.
2. Does the credit cards’ balance transfer(BT) hurt my credit score?
The “use of credit” will impact your credit score. If you do lots of balance transfer and make your “use of credit” rate too high, this will have a negative impact on your credit score. But this is just a short-term impact and it will disappear after you pay off your balance transfer debt. The good thing about the balance transfer is that you can ask for an increase on your credit limit when you pay off a BT debt. The BT will be helpful for you to get a better credit limit.
3. Does it hurt my credit score if I don’t use a credit card for a long time?
No, this will not affect your credit report or credit score. But your credit card company will not be happy about this.
4. Does it hurt my credit score if I have too many bank accounts?
No, there is no info about the savings, checking, money market or CD accounts in your credit report.
5. Can I do a shop around for my housing loan and car loan?
Yes, if you have the same type of inquiries in 14 days. You will only see one inquiry in your credit report. Your credit score will not be affected when applying for a housing loan or car loan if your inquiries are done within 14 days.
6. Does the subsidiary card (credit card) help to build the credit history too?
Yes, the subsidiary card’s authorized user can build his/her credit history by using this subsidiary card, even you didn’t provide the authorized user’s SSN or ITIN number to the credit card company. ( He/she needs to have the SSN or ITIN for sure in order to build his/her credit history. )
7. My credit card’s credit limit is too low, how can I raise it?
Your annual salary / income will impact the credit limit you can get from the credit card companies. This is why the students can not get a very good credit limit from them. Some tips here: You can ask to do a big balance transfer when applying for a new credit card. This will help you to get a better credit limit of your new credit card. You can also call your credit card companies to ask for a credit limit increase. But they will refuse to give you an increase if you just use this credit card for 2 or 3 months.
8. Do the merchant credit cards help to improve my credit score too?
Sure, you can get a good credit score if there are plenty of info in your credit report (general credit cards from the banks, merchant credit cards, housing loan, car loan, etc).
9. My credit score and credit report are ruined by the collection company, what can I do to fix it?
There are some methods to fix your credit report and credit score. You can see: www dot artofcredit dot com

Increase credit report with the new and technology based credit correction software which will raise credit score fast. I used an internet credit correction software and observed my score increase seriously, as much as a hundred points in 90 days.
If you are serious about credit repair now, more than ever before is the time to learn how to fix credit. Customers are defaulting on loans at record paces and it’ll shortly be time to pick up the pieces and start toward better credit health. You can’t receive favorable loans with bad credit and the process for credit correction is really extremely simple.
Begin the journey to increase credit score with copies of your credit score. You can manage your credit file if you know what’s on the inside. Ensure you also have the credit worthiness scores available. It will be difficult to measure your progress unless you have a start line.
Carefully review your credit score and this may include a report from every one of the 3 major credit bureau’s. Experian, Transunion and Equifax, will have an individual file on you and each company will score your credit differently.
The process to fix credit and increase credit score is that you have to dispute every account that you believe is wrong . You do this in writing and the process is called writing an argument letter. There is no standard form or dispute letter to raise credit score, but you should identify the account you are interrogating. Briefly state why you think the account to be wrong.
When you send your letter ensure you send it licensed mail and you would like a return invoice showing that somebody signed for the complaint. This will also warn you of the time the credit reporting agency has so as to comply with the legal needs of 30 days. They must complete their investigation and confirm that the account is being reported properly and they must do this work within a thirty day timeline.
If the credit bureau’s deny your claim then you should not give up. Don’t get depressed because their job is much easier if they do not have to analyze. It is down to you to persuade them to confirm properly all claims that you make. To do this may need a couple of credit dispute letters.

Keys To Improving Your Credit Score

There are several ways to fix credit scores when they aren’t so perfect. In today’s economy, prices are rising although employment is dropping. Because of this, people all over the United States are unable to keep up with bills and debt collections. While bills pile high, credit scores drop incredibly.
What many do not realize that a simple utility bill that is late can be reported to a credit bureau. These, along with medical bills, credit cards, government student loans, and car payments can damage a score incredibly. Defaults on student loans can damage the score bad enough that it can prevent one from being able to purchase a home, car, or other form of personal property. Using sites such as New Credit Warehouse can help in these instances.
Consolidation
When payments on interest accrued to a student loan are made, it can prevent a default being reported. Simple monthly payments on consolidated loans can become essential to credit repair. When consolidating loans, one must remember that although the loans have become one, the amount has not changed. Granted that a consolidation interest rate can be lower than the original, it will not change the principle amount that was originally borrowed. Once the interest has accrued, it becomes part of the principle and is added on to the amount that is consolidated.
Medical Bills
Face it. Medical bills happen. Whether unexpectedly in an emergency room visit, or expected with monthly visits, they can add up to tremendous amounts. When sent to collections, the bills are reported to the credit bureaus. Fixing credit here is simple: make arrangements to make bill payments within the means of the household income. When creditors speak to people, often the question is asked, “How much will you be able to pay?” Some of these also set that amount so that is seen when the next payment is made. Understand that there is a budget for what is made in the home, and that an allotment can be made to suffice small payments.
Credit Cards
Credit cards used to be the next best thing. They paid for Christmas presents, unexpected motor repairs, and many other happenings when the cash simply wasn’t at hand. However, interest rates on credit cards have skyrocketed, creating payments that are unreasonable for the average citizen. Fixed credit cards require deposits to be made before they can be used. The balance is pre-set by the deposit, making overdrafts impossible. The payments by deposits are reported to the bureau as “on time” and help to repair credit.

Credit repair fixes helps you in repairing your damaged credit rating, which finally leads you to pay less for loans and insurance, etc. However, bad credit rating doesn’t stop you from getting loan at all.

Ten Best Ways To Improve Your Credit Score
Posted: Sep 30, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
When you apply for credit – whether for a credit card, a car loan, or a mortgage – lenders want to know what risk they’d take by loaning money to you. FICO scores are the credit scores most lenders use to determine your credit risk. (Credit bureau scores are often called “FICO scores” because most credit bureau scores used in the U.S. are produced from software developed by Fair Isaac and Company.)
Although many people think there is one credit score, you really have three FICO scores, one for each of the three credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Each score is based on information each credit bureau keeps on file about you. For your credit score to be calculated, you must have at least one credit account which has been open at least six months. As your credit information changes due to new credit cards, new balances, late payments,etc., your credit scores tend to change as well.
Your 3 FICO scores affect both how much and what loan terms (interest rate, etc.) lenders will offer you at any given time. FICO scores provide the best guide to future risk based solely on credit report data. The higher the credit score, the lower the risk. While each lender determines their loan amounts and interest rates differently some generally accepted credit score ranges are:
760-850 – Excellent (best/lowest interest rates granted)
700-759 – Good
660-699 – Fair
659-lower – Poor (worst/highest interest rates, if loan granted)
Taking steps to improve your credit scores can help you qualify for better rates from lenders. Here are some actions to consider:
Pay your bills on time. Delinquent payments and collections can have a major negative impact on your credit score. 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 or closing a previously delinquent account will not remove it from your credit report. Your FICO score will still consider this information because it reflects your past credit pattern. Keep credit balances low on credit cards and other revolving credit accounts. High debt can lower your score. Pay off debt rather than moving it around. Don’t close unused credit cards as a short term solution to raise your credit score. Owing the same amount but having fewer open accounts may lower your credit score. Be careful about opening accounts your don’t need. Opening new accounts can lower your credit score in the short term. Re-establish your credit history if you have had problems. Opening new accounts and paying them off on time will raise your score in the long term. Apply for and open credit accounts only as needed. Don’t open accounts just to have a better credit mix – it probably won’t raise your credit score. Learn your credit score and actively monitor your credit report. Checking your credit report will not affect your FICO score, as long as you order your credit report directly from the credit reporting agency or through an organization authorized to provide credit reports to consumers.
Although FICO is a bit complicated to understand, getting and maintaining a good credit score is not. And a good credit score can save you thousands of dollars over your life time.

Credit Score – What Does This Mean To You?
Posted: Nov 07, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
Having a good credit score is deemed to be prestigious and highly critical. If you are a resident of the US, you would have always considered this figure to be vital. But what does this really mean? Who is the universal monitor for the credit scoring system? Are there different credit scores in existence? Read ahead and get to know these facts in detail.
What is Credit Score?
Credit score is a statistical figure that pictures the creditworthiness of a person. Whenever an individual opts for a loan, the lender or the creditor would want to know the individual’s credit score to start with for this would form the basis of the credit that is offered to the individual. Credit scores are considered to be the base on which the lenders’ make their final decision regarding the approval amount and percentage of interest.
The higher the credit score, the better is the credit worthiness and the repayment capability of the individual. A higher credit score is associated with nominal interest rates and higher loan sanction probabilities.
The credit score of the residents is being monitored and maintained by three different bureaus in America. They constitute the Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. The very popular credit score rating system that is in existence is based on the FICO model developed by the Fair Isaac Corporation in the year 1956. Based on the data reported and collected at the bureaus, each of them calculate and maintain their own credit scores for the residents. As a resident, you can resort to get your credit report for free from the bureaus only once in a year, which could further help you in understanding the existence of negative entries in the same.
However, in addition to the FICO model, VantageScore is yet another credit rating product that has been adopted by the three bureaus since 2006.
FICO Score versus VantageScore
FICO score is calculated based on the 5 different financial entities that you currently have. While 35% of the score depends on your payment history, 30% on the current debts that you have, 15% on the length of your credit history, 10% on the new credits that you have and the last 10% on types of credit that you own, the scoring system in case of VantageScore differs a bit.
While FICO scores available at the 3 different bureaus are likely to vary for the same individual since it is dependent on the data reported/collected, VantageScore is deemed to be almost the same at least in theory.
While 32% of the VantageScore is based on your payment history, 23% of it is calculated based on the credit utilization, 15% on the current credit balances that you have, 13% on the depth of your credit, 10% on recent credit and 7% on the available credit, the scoring system has a 501-990 scale on contrary to the scale of 300-850 offered by the FICO model.
The Know-How to Have Good Credit Scores
The following are the best and the simplest means that would enable you to have a good credit score in reality.
Ensure that you pay all your bills on time.
Make sure that you do not default in any of your debt repayments.
Try to keep your current credits well within the limit. Let your current credit be way apart from what is granted to you. This would give you a better debt to credit ratio which in turn can pave way to a good credit score.
Make sure that you never get into delinquent debts for this would reflect negatively on your credit score.
The number of credit accounts that you have does matter. See to it that you have at the most 2 or 3 creditors at a time.
Ensure that you have a good credit limit with every creditor for this would offer a positive impact to your credit score.
Always ensure that you have a lengthy credit history since a short one can increase the chances of indecisiveness with respect to your creditworthiness.

My credit is not bad, I a short time ago don’t have any. I’m a student. I applied for this super cool National Geographic Chase Mastercard w/no annual charge and a 0% introductory apr. Will I get approved? I don’t want to capture a dumpy student credit card.Thanks, everyone!

Simple Tips To Improve Your Credit Score

Any time you want to apply for a card your credit history will be checked. Even if you do not have a score based on a credit card, your history of making your payments on time can be checked and your financial situation can be checked too. There are cards that are approved without having a financial history or having a bad finance score. However you can expect these cards to have high interest rates and high fees. If you have a card and make all your payments on time and show that you can manage your debt your financial score will most probably go up. But sometimes your finance history score goes down if you miss a payment, if you are late with a payment and even if you close down another card where your balance is at zero. The same ways that there are methods to increase your credit score there are ways to lower your credit score.
You can lower your credit score by applying for too any credit cards, by having fines and not paying them on time or by using more money than you can afford to give back. If this is the case you will have difficulties getting good credit cards, getting approved for higher credit limits and maintaining a good credit score. The benefits of having a good credit score are that the better your score, the better interest rates you can get, the easier you get approved for a new credit card, the higher your credit limit is going to be and generally the more advantages you will have. Fortunately the same industry that is responsible of keeping track of credit scores is offering ways to improve your credit score if you need too. The first step in such a case is to start making your payments on time and to spend small amounts of money from your credit limit. If you do this for several months and get into a routine of prioritizing your payments and making them on time your credit score will increase slowly but surely.
One of the things you should be doing to improve your score is asking for credit score reports and checking if there are any mistakes in them. If there are mistakes and you can prove for example that a payment they say was made late was actually made on time, you can correct that and get points added to your credit score. When you have to spend money from your credit limit don’t go higher than 25% of your credit limit. This way your payments will be manageable and you can show you are responsible enough to use money from your credit limit and pay it back on time. Staying close to the lower amount that you can spend from your credit limit will help you increase your credit card score. Some people also decide to close the unused credit card accounts or the ones that they are not using. This can be a negative thing to your credit score because the more account you close the lower your credit limit will be. For example if you have 5 credit cards and the sum of the credit limit on all of them is 10,000, if you close three of them whose credit limit add up to 6,000, your new credit limit will only be for 4,000. This might be interpreted as not being able to pay back more than the maximum credit limit and thus your credit score will be lowered.
Try to always remember that it is very easy for your credit score to be lowered and even a single late payment can lower your score significantly. In the same time it takes a longer period of tie to build back your score and benefit of good credit cards offers interest rates and deals. Also when using money form your credit limit don’t go too much into that amount and remember that the credit score you have can be a reason not to get a certain job or not to be able to rent a place or not to be able to get a loan. So the best things to do are to get one or two cards, use them wisely, increase your card score to the level you want and keep it there.

Ways to Quickly Improve Your Credit Score
Posted: Jan 12, 2010 |Comments: 0

]]>
Have you been denied a loan or a credit card? Then, it may be due to your credit score which determines your creditworthiness. This is the one number which every lender, be it your banker, or a credit card company or be it a mortgage broker etc will look at in order to see your creditworthiness and to assess whether you can pay back your loan or mortgage or your credit card bills.
This number is generated and maintained by the Credit Reporting Agencies such as Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. They generate this score based on your past and present credit history like your pattern of payment of hydro bills, payment of credit card bills etc. If for some reason, you haven’t been able to pay even the minimum payment on your credit card, this is one reason for your lower credit score. The lower your score, the lower are the chances that you qualify for any good deals on a loan or a credit card.
Everyone who has a loan or a credit card should know that all creditors have access to this information available with the credit agencies. Whenever you apply for a credit card or apply for a loan, the credit card company or your banker goes to this credit agencies to check your credit score to see your credit history. The higher your score, the higher the chances that you could qualify for that credit card or for that loan.
It’s not that if you have a low score you don’t qualify for a loan or a credit card. It only means that you don’t qualify for the lowest rates. You may have to pay a higher interest rate.
Due to the above reasons, it is your responsibility to improve your score. To improve your credit score, you need to at the first place know what it is. Nowadays, due to increase in default rates, even phone companies and utility companies are looking at your credit score before approving your application for these services. So, it is very important to know where you stand on your Credit Score.
So, here are ways on how you can improve your credit score quickly.
If you have an unusually low credit score, ask for a credit report from the three major credit bureaus namely Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. By doing this, you can know about your credit history and compare each report and determine if it contains errors that may be hurting your score.
For example, if you noticed that a particular report contains an unpaid debt but you previously paid it, you have to immediately correct this error by sending a letter and the proof that you paid the debt in full. Errors like this will lower your credit score and affect your credit rating. By correcting this situation, you will be able to immediately raise your credit score in matter of less than thirty days. You should realize the fact that credit bureaus are responsible for correcting any mistakes in your credit report and you should also know that it is in the law that they should.
The next best thing you need to do is to try to pay down the debt you have. For example, if you have a credit card payment pending, you don’t have to pay all of it at once. The point to all this is to pay down your credit card debt up to the point that it will not have a balance that exceeds 50% of your credit limit. If you can’t pay off in full or at least 50%, you should at the most try to keep paying your minimum payment and not to altogether stop paying.
Lastly, the most important thing you can do in order to raise your credit score is to pay all your bills on time. By doing this, the creditors will not report any negative things about your credit activities. By paying your bills on time, you will be able to raise your credit score. This is the quickest way to improve your credit score.
Try to consolidate all your bills meaning having the same “pay by date” so that you can remember the same and pay off all your bills at the same time.
