Improving your Credit

Getting a credit card offer or easily getting approved for a mortgage or car loan is all that matter in a good credit score. A credit score is usually: the number of open accounts, total debt levels, repayment history, and other factors you have. The credit score is grouped into five categories: payment history (comprises 35%), amounts owed (shall consist of 30%), length of credit history (shall consist of 15%), new credit (comprises 10%), and credit mix (shall consist of 10%). Since payment history is essential in making a good credit score, missing payment history, even one 30-day late payment, or missed payment can negatively impact your credit score.  

Since the creditors keep their evaluation standards secret, it becomes difficult to improve your credit rating. Don’t fret! If you are naive about the concept, a financial guide can help you understand your credit score and reports and look into the practices of lenders and credit bureaus.

How do Insurance Advisors help in Improving your Credit Score?

Since getting a loan from a bank also involves a credit score, it is crucial to have a good score. Many creditors keep a base point to approve an application; some have ten to thirty or more pieces of data to analyze for each applicant and then decide to accept or reject the application. Understanding these complex evaluation methods to pre-realize whether you fit for the loan approval is impossible for any ordinary man. And, if you do not pre-evaluate your status and wait for the approval, it’s nothing more than wasting your time for no good reason. At this point, you will need a good financial advisor with good credit score analysis skills. The advisor explains what you need to make complete use of your credit report, helps you determine your credit standing, and maximizes your chances for credit approval. The advisor will help you to:

  • Understand your credit reports,
  • Know the meaning of the terminology used in the credit industry, and
  • Precisely search for what you can do to improve your credit score.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can owning a checking or saving account improve credit rating?

    Having a checking or saving account with the bank usually enhances your credit rating. In addition, when you apply for a credit card or any loan, holding an account in the same bank increases the probability of getting a loan.

  • Does age affect credit rating?

    Some of the lender’s personal credit experience shows that people of a specific age group have a better record of paying their bills than people of other ages. As a result, lenders may, legally, give higher scores to the better-paying age group.

    But at the same time, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), a federal law intended to prevent discrimination in lending, does not allow lenders to discriminate against people aged 62 or over. Instead, the ECOA requires creditors to use a scoring system to give those aged 62 and older an age-factor score at least as high as the best score given to anyone under age 62.

     

  • Who can see my credit file?

    The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows access to your credit file only to the following: those authorized in writing by you, creditors to whom you apply for credit, insurers, potential employers, and those having a “legitimate business purpose related to a business transaction involving you.” In addition, government agencies can obtain identifying information about you. However, the information is limited to your name, current and former addresses, and current and former places of employment. Whenever someone requests a copy of your credit report, it’s noted as an “inquiry” on your credit file. You are authorized to know who has inquired about your credit file within the past six months.
