Tips for Increasing your Credit Scores

Credit scoring is same as that of health, mostly people underestimates its importance until it become a problem. The credit score reflects your credit history same as that your current appearance is the reflection of your health. Credit scoring is not a short term process, but requires continual improvements.

FICO is the most commonly used credit score and ranges from 350 to 850 and is calculated through your credit score on the reports. The respective scoring shows your ability of paying to your lender. The higher the score, less risky is for the lender to give you the money. Scoring 700 and above provides you with the best interest rates available in the market. Failing to have a good (i.e. below 500) one disqualifies from the loan approvals.

There are few tips that help you in maintaining a good credit score:

· Try to pay all your bills on time. It seems an obvious tip, but the first thing a lender will check on your credit report is these payments. How timely the payments are made, is going to have a significant impact on your credit scoring. One important thing to remember is that about 35% of your credit score is based on the credit history.

· The balance of your credit cards should be low. High balances, reduces your credit scoring to about 70 points. Instead of having a one card, share the amount in different cards by transferring the balance and in this way the balance can be as low as 25%.

· If you have old paid off accounts, don’t close them. With their closure, the total available credit is reduced and your utilization ratio is going to change respectively. This in turn will lower your credit score. It makes you less trustworthy and thus has a damaging affects on your credit history.

· Apply for the small loans first in order to qualify for the bigger ones. This helps in showing that you are a good borrower.

· The time period during which you apply for the loans should be planned carefully. Every time you apply for a loan and a creditor accesses you history, your credit score is lowered by 3 points. Therefore these processes should be focused during one time period.

These few tips are quite helpful in maintaining a good credit score. Hope it works out for you as well!
