So maybe you let a few bills slide when things were tight. Or maybe you haven’t seen a zero balance on your credit card in longer than you can remember. Then there was that temporary line of credit…that somehow became permanent. It’s amazing how many things we do that weaken our credit score.
A low credit score can prevent you from getting the lowest mortgage rate, or even from getting a mortgage at all. Sometimes, that’s how we first discover there’s a problem. That’s why it’s so important to stay on top of your obligations.
A few missed bills and a sky-high credit card balance could send your score plummeting – and your lending costs soaring. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to whip your credit score into shape.
With the holiday season behind us now, it’s a great time for Credit Score Boot Camp. Over the next few days and weeks, we’ll put you through some basic training: showing you some fast, easy ways to boost your credit score!
Whether you’re looking at buying your first home, thinking of your next mortgage, or just looking for ways to improve your financial fitness – take the time to put yourself through the paces!
Stay tuned….
