The same goes for paying off installment loans early and voluntarily lowering credit limits. Both of these actions seem inline with what we would expect from the ideal consumer, but neither will have a positive impact on your credit score. Early payment of installment loans, another common goal of a financially responsible consumer that diminishes the profits of lenders, is not noted on your credit reports. And contrary to what you would think, lowering credit limits would lower your credit score because as alluded to above, you are rewarded for having multiple credit accounts and lots of credit at your disposal.

But by another quirk of the FICO credit scoring model, you are rewarded for having multiple credit accounts, but you are punished for seeking new credit. Consumers are told that inquiries are added to your credit reports each time you apply for credit so other lenders can see that you may be overextending yourself or crashing. But isn’t it convenient that inquiries will lower your credit score at the exact time when you are looking to qualify for new lines of credit? FICO wants you to have multiple lines of credit, but in trying to appease the scoring model, you will temporarily lower your credit score allowing lenders to charge you higher interest rates.

There are many companies that do not require strict credit guidelines. These companies extend credit to consumers with little to no credit history and less than perfect credit. You may have to pay higher interests rates but if you pay on time and keep your balances to less than 30% of your available credit limit, you will build positive credit. Seek credit at your local appliance, furniture, jewelry and tire stores. In addition Radioshack, Fingerhut and Chevron Gas extend easy credit.

Do not transfer all your balances to one low interest rate card. You may get many offers for the best credit cards with low and even zero percent interest rates, but if you transfer all of your balances to the one card then you run the risk of increasing your balance to limit ratio. A high balance to limit ratio lowers your credit scores. You should always maintain a balance less than thirty percent of your credit limit in order to have good scores. (Amount Owed is 30% of credit score)

Pay down your credit card and decrease your balance to thirty percent (30%) or less than your credit limit. Your credit score will increase. The great thing about this technique is that it works whether it is a $5000 limit credit card or a $500 limit credit card, your credit scores will instantly improve.

Get your credit in order. If you have anything outstanding, you may want to take care of that before applying for your home mortgage loan.The first thing a mortgage lender will look at is your credit. They look at how you pay your bills and how much debt you have in relation to your income. If you are overextended they may refuse your loan. Even if you don’t have the best credit, you can still qualify for a home loan as long as you have a stable income. You may just have to pay a higher interest rate or larger down payment.

How is your income? All lenders base some of their approval requirements on income. Your income tells them if you can afford to repay the loan. Your total amount of monthly debt should ideally be 1/3-1/2 of your total income. Any more than 50% and they consider that overextended.

Check around for a mortgage lender. Google is probably a good place to start searching for lender in your area. Call them and ask to speak to a lender to get some basic information as far as interest rates and requirements for a loan.
