Increase Credit Score Blog Roundup

Posted on: December 14th, 2007 by admin

I have made quite a few posts on here over the last several months so I figured that I would do a recap of everything as a quick resource to find relevant information.

Back in May I presented 4 credit score myths and answers to common credit questions. I also broke down what many people feel is very complicated, and showed how credit scores are calculated. Then, in basically a compilation of the information, I showed how all this can be combined to get lower mortgage rates. I also posted about several easy ways to check your credit score for free, and honestly, I think this is the most valuable post on here.

Remember, increasing your credit score is an ongoing process, don’t get discouraged. To break it down to the simplest form, develop long credit history, control your spending, and pay your bills on time. If you’re still having trouble doing it yourself, even after reading everything on this blog, using a debt negotiation company might be a viable alternative. I would suggest doing research on credit card reduction and bill consolidation to see if it is right for you.

Also on a side note, in the UK, landlords have access to services where they can buy a tenant credit report on line, often within a few hours of placing an order. Such reports provide a detailed tenant credit history helping landlords to make the optimum decision when letting a property.
