Here’s How To Improve Your Credit Score
Mon ,18/04/2011Your credit score influences many areas of your life. A prospective employer will check your credit when considering you for employment. Your insurance agent might check your credit when deciding to insure your car or home. Your lender, whether for a home loan or other consumer debt, will check your credit score when making a determination.
Your credit report shows the history of your borrowing activities they have been reported to the credit reporting bureaus — TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax — by lenders, court records and others at a point in time. The credit score helps credit grantors quickly evaluate this information because it gives a snapshot of your payment history.
Thousands of credit grantors send updates to the bureaus usually once a month. These updates include balances, monthly payment amounts and whether there have been late payments.
This credit score will change as the information reported to the bureaus changes. For example, if your credit report is obtained at a time when your credit card balances are low and your credit is excellent, your credit scores can be high. Meanwhile, you take a vacation and use your credit cards to pay for it. These balances will be reported the following month. If the lender pulls the credit report the next month and it shows much higher balances on your credit cards, your credit score likely will be lower than the previous month. This can be frustrating because your payment history habits probably will not have changed, and you might pay off your credit card balances every month regardless of how high they are.
