Written on February 2, 2012 at 11:46 pm, by adminIt’s important to note that repairing bad credit is a bit like losing weight: It takes time and there is no quick way to fix a credit score. In fact, out of all of the ways to improve a credit score, quick-fix efforts are the most likely to backfire, so beware of any advice that claims to improve your credit score fast.

Watch Your Credit Score Go UP!!!!
Written on December 7, 2011 at 10:08 pm, by adminCredit accounts are maxed-out. If you use your credit cards to pay for just about everything in life, you’re probably teetering the edge of maxed-out accounts (assuming you haven’t fallen off already…). If this sounds familiar, consider closing any excess accounts you have and rarely use, and start paying your existing accounts down to around 30% of the available balance. Whatch your credit scores go up!

Be Careful !!
Written on October 25, 2011 at 8:15 pm, by adminThe zero interest credit card is, of course, a fantastic deal if you pay your balance off in time. If you don’t, it’s a little like having a financial hand grenade blow up your bank account. Even if you’re just a day or two late, and only owe another $20, all of the interest from day one will come back to haunt you.
Applying For New Credit…
Written on October 6, 2011 at 9:29 pm, by adminBe sure to avoid applying for any other type of credit before and during the mortgage application process. Whenever you apply for new credit, you’re seen as a greater credit risk, at least initially. If you happen to apply for a credit card or auto loan around the same time you apply for a mortgage, your credit score might get dinged enough to kill your eligibility. Call Hometown Mortgage Group 816-525-7700.
