Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Obtain My Credit Report?
You're entitled to a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) once every 12 months. You can request these reports through IdentityIQ.com or AnnualCreditReport.com.
How Can I Improve My Credit Score?
Improving your credit score involves:
- Paying Bills on Time: Consistently making on-time payments has a significant positive impact on your credit score.
- Reducing Outstanding Debt: Lowering your credit card balances and overall debt can improve your credit utilization ratio.
- Avoiding New Credit Applications: Each new credit inquiry can slightly lower your score; apply for new credit sparingly.
- Maintaining Long-Term Accounts: Keeping older accounts open can positively affect the length of your credit history
Most negative information, such as late payments or foreclosures, remains on your credit report for seven years. Bankruptcies can stay for up to 10 years.
Credit scores can vary because:
- Different Credit Bureaus: Each bureau may have slightly different information.
- Scoring Models: FICO and Vantage Score use different algorithms.
- Lender-Specific Models: Lenders may use proprietary scoring models tailored to their criteria.
While DTI doesn't directly impact your credit score, lenders consider it to assess your ability to manage monthly payments and repay debts. A high DTI can lead to loan application denials, even with a good credit score.
If you identify inaccuracies on your credit report, promptly dispute them by contacting the credit bureau reporting the error. Provide documentation to support your claim.
