What are the best mortgage rates for excellent credit? There are quite a few things you need to consider about interest rates when buying property. The APR (Annual Percentage Rate) depends on your credit score, finances, and determination to do a little shopping around. (more…)

There are two types of excellent credit personal loans. The first type is a long term one with a rather reasonable interest rate but still higher than the rate would be if you were taking out a mortgage. The second of the excellent credit personal loans is a short term one – from 14 to 30 days and the interest rate is about $30 for every $100 you borrow. (more…)

There is a difference between credit and checking accounts for less than perfect credit. With a credit account you use money that is not yours and you can repay it back with interest every month – you can use credit cards to access that money. The checking account is a savings account where you keep your money and you can access it either by writing a check or by using a debit card. (more…)

To have an excellent credit rating means that you have been very strict and responsible about paying you bills on time and not maxing out you credit cards, and your credit score is somewhere between 750 and 850 points. It is great to have such a credit rating because you will have a much easier time applying for loans, mortgages, and credit cards. Your credit applications will not be rejected and you will end up with what you want. (more…)

If your credit score is over 750 points, you can easily get approved for many excellent credit offers. For starters, you will probably be receiving tons of credit cards and offers in your mailbox. Don’t sign any of those, especially the department store credit cards, because if you have excellent credit, you can get a lot better offers than the ones you received in the mail. These mail offers rely on the possibility that you will not read exactly what their offer is and you will realize what you have signed for after it’s already too late. (more…)

A great thing about getting a loan at Chase with less perfect credit than 750 points is that they have their business based on working with people who don’t have the best credit scores in the world. This is why if you want to apply for credit and you are not sure if a lender is going to approve you because of your credit score, you may want to check out what Chase has to offer you. Whenever you are applying to more than one lender for a loan, they will retrieve your credit score from one of the credit bureaus. This can lower your score, and if you want to avoid this scenario, you should improve your report and then tell them to check it out. Once you decide that you want to sign a contract with a specific lender you can allow them to access your credit score. (more…)

Maintaining an excellent credit history is very important if you are planning to take out a loan, mortgage, or apply for a credit card in the near future. Lenders make their decisions about what loan or mortgage you can qualify for based on your credit score and income. With a great credit score you can qualify for a larger amount of money even if your income is not very high. The reason for this is that your excellent credit history will provide you with a great deal on the APR rate and your monthly payments will not be that high. (more…)

Here is a new post at Who is looking at your Credit Score?.

Before it used to be that those who checked your credit score were primarily lenders. Increasingly though you will see not only lenders but apartment complexes check your credit score.

Credit score?

To go from 558 to 700 will take several months of good hard credit management.

Pay your credit cards down to under 30% of your limit and keep them there.

Use them for every day things, never exceed 30% of your limit and always pay in full before the due date.

I did this with 2 credit cards and raised my score over 150-points in 12-months.
