Piggybacking Still Works

January 28th, 2012 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Good Credit Scores

Credit card piggybacking is using someone else’s good credit to raise your own score by being added on as an authorized user on their account. If you find yourself with a low credit score, you probably know how difficult it is to borrow money and how you are penalized by higher interest rates and credit denial. With credit card piggybacking, you are made an authorized user on someone else’s credit card account, one with a good credit score. By doing so, your credit score will improve. This tactic has been used for sometime by parents wanting to give their children a head start with building their credit history. If you have a close family member that has an established credit card with a good credit history, ask them to add you as an authorized user. Have them call their bank to ensure the bank will report the full credit history from that account on your credit profile. The credit card should have a perfect credit history, be opened for three or more years, and have a low utilization rate. This means the balance should be 30% or less of the credit limit. Fair Isaac had previously announced that its FICO 08 scoring model would no longer allow piggybacking. However, as of today most lenders are not using the FICO 08 scoring model. FNMA OR FHLMC has also not adopted it. Questions about how piggybacking can help you raise your credit score? www.911creditpro.com

How To Pull Your Own Credit Score/Report

July 28th, 2011 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Good Credit Scores

LeahCoss.ca Hi, everyone, how are you? This is Leah Coss with the Mortgage Center. I wanted to go through how to pull your own credit, because there are going to be times, when you’re going to contact me, maybe you’re unsure as to what your credit score is, or you have a sneaky suspicion that, due to certain things in your past, your score might not be the highest. In those situations, I’ll probably actually ask you to pull your own credit first. The reason being is, if your credit’s really high, it’s not going to be a big deal if I pull your credit, it might hit it down by one or two points. But if your credit score is low, as you will note from other videos I’ve done on credit, if your score is low, the moment that I pull it, it’s called a hard pull, and it’s going to really smash your credit down hard. And the reason they do this is for people with bad credit, they don’t want those people trying to obtain more credit until their credit has had time to heal. So, in those situations, I’m going to get you to pull your own credit, because if you pull your own credit, it’s considered a soft pull and it won’t affect your score at all. Now, the website that we’re going to do this on is called Equifax. And every lender uses Equifax, Equifax.ca. However, some of them also use TransUnion. Now the reason I’m not going to pull TransUnion is because every lender uses Equifax. Only some of them use TransUnion, and the ones who use TransUnion, usually pull both Equifax and TransUnion

Your Credit Score – How to Get it, Maintain it, and Not Wreck It

June 28th, 2011 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Good Credit Scores

MortgagesInVancouver.com The first thing is getting your credit and maintaining your credit. So obviously if you think that credit is the most horrible thing in the world and you want to stay away from it, unfortunately you can’t do that if ever you plan on getting a car or buying a home. You need credit, because that’s how they judge your responsibility when it comes to money and finances, and that’s how they judge you on whether they’re going to get paid back and if you’re a safe bet. So first of all, if you’ve got to get credit, the easiest way is to just go out and get like a 0 credit card. Even if it’s a pay as you go one, just get it so you can start building your credit. Then, secondly, when you get the credit card, you need to make the payments. All right? So there’s a couple of ladies who are very concerned. They’re like, “Oh, I was five days late on my credit card payment. Am I going to get hit?” No. You’re probably OK on that front. Where you need to be concerned is if you go for a full 30 day cycle. So if you miss a payment for a full 30 days, chances are the credit bureau’s caught that and they’re going to ding you for it. Now, the second thing is I see a lot of people with horrible credit who have got horrible credit for a ridiculous reason, and what this reason is is that a lot of credit cards, especially the store credit cards like the Zellers cards and the Canadian Tire and Staples and Brick cards, they actually have annual fees on them. A lot of
