You Can Raise Your Credit Score By 200 Points – Learn How

Thinking of a home at last that you can call your own, and tired of the incessantly nagging rent bills that in the bottom of your heart you know is not really yours? Or aching for a car to save you from commuting hell? Now, did you know that for most people these days homeownership and a car is an option most can only find in credit? Find ways to improve, raise, boost, and increase your credit score.

Simplest And Still The Best

The simplest way to raise your credit scores is to use credit only when emergencies strike. Instead of building dependency on your credit accounts and instead of dulling out the edges of your plastic cards from all the use, try to use real hard currency as often as possible, and avail of credit only when the need really arises. Creditors are willing to lend you money, but not to the point that you max out the allotted funds each and every month. This simply reflects consumptive and irrepressible spending, which does not bode well with credit ratings. Aside from this, less credit use often means that you have to deal with fewer errors.

Clean The Report Sheet

Less errors, of course, is another way for you to boost credit scores. Credit scores are essentially measures for creditors to assess whether you are worthy of their credit, and these are computed through all of your credit report information released usually by credit bureaus. Check out your credit report, and actually scan the individual items written on it. You will see that there are often errors in the reports such as collections and late payments which have been mistakenly transferred to your account. Try to remember your financial transactions, and if you have paid in full at the allotted time, be sure the credit report does not list them as “paid derogatory.” If you have filed for a bankruptcy, be sure that unpaid accounts are removed. Other items that may be removed include those that are seven years old, which should be removed from the report by default.

Ask for Erasures

Another tactic worth trying out is to try to solicit goodwill will from your lender. For borrowers who have clean records in the past, a blotch now can be removed by a simple goodwill letter. Just be sure not to repeat the late payment again, because even your friendly lender will eventually tire out of erasing all those credit score mishaps. Similar to erasing small faults is to actually ask if your collection agent to slash out bad history by paying him a small sum. These often work for small amounts only, however, and not all agents are willing to lend this service.

Share in Someone Else’s Glow

The last and best, although probably one of the most difficult ways to boost credit score overnight is to share in the glow of a well-kept and aged credit holder. This could be anyone from your parents to a friend who has had an excellent track record for many years. By agreeing to add you as a card holder related to him, you will instantly gain the clean slate which your benefactor has, and this could sometimes even let you increase credit score by up to a 200 points.
