What is a good credit score?
April 14th, 2009 
kebas239 asked:
I signed up for a free credit report and it said my three scores were 789, 792 and 797. Are these good scores? I saw the max was 850 so I was wondering if there was any reason to try and get the scores higher. For reference, I am 23 and my score has been sitting around that for a few years.

Free Credit Reports, Where You Can Get Yours Today and Keep a Blazing Eye on Your Credit!

A free credit report these days can help you keep a watchful eye on your credit more than you know. Don’t pass up the chance to get your free report. It’s sometimes hard to face the music when it comes to credit. A lot of people like to in effect, stick their heads in the sand when it comes to credit issues.
You can be assured that this is just a recipe for disaster. One thing about credit and bills is that they do not go away until you pay then off. Accepting that you can control your credit today will save you many years of worry and hassle. It all starts with responsibility and saying to yourself that you can do it and you will keep a watchful eye on your credit. After that, it’s all downhill.
When you first get your credit report do not freak out. Take a deep breath and tell yourself that this is going to be a new beginning for you. Next, sort out all of your bills and then get to work. Once you have everything in order it will be that much easier to keep a blazing eye on your credit. Keeping things in order is the single most important thing anyone can do for their credit.
Next, get your free credit report. Everyone is allowed one free report from each of the three credit reporting agencies per a year. You can hop on over to freecreditreport.com which will help you in one place to do this.
If you haven’t obtained your free reports during any calendar year you should be able to get them online. If not, you will have to get them by mail. Remember the single most important thing you can do is to start something today. Stand up and tell yourself that you can and will keep on eye one your credit.
No one else is going to do it for you. If you are still having trouble with your credit, you may want to enlist the help of a credit repair agency. You have to be careful here because some of these organizations are funded by the major credit card companies themselves.
Try and pick one that is a non profit agency close to your home to work with. There are many organizations all over the United States. One place you can start is with the internet. Go to a major search engine such as Google and type in credit help or credit repair agency and then your zip code. You may have to try a few different keywords until you find one that is close to you.
Remember to go past the first few pages in the search engine. You can find many great websites that are not listed high on the first page. Just save your search if you need to stop and come back. As you can see this is a start to a great plan to get you back on track with your credit if you have not taken the action that you needed to in the past.
Start slow and you will be on a new path to greater and new financial rewards.

Comments OffYour Access to Free Credit Reports
April 9th, 2009 
Mike Clover asked:
Free Credit Reports; have you wondered where to get one? There are so many different web sites out there offering this service, since it is so important these days to know what’s being reported about you. Everyone knows you can go once a year to annualcredit report.com to get a free one, but there are limitations that most don’t know. Here are the issues with this service.
1. No Credit Score
2. You only get access once a year.
Just about every lending institution that looks at your creditworthiness looks at your score, so shouldn’t you get your free credit score report as well? Every 3 seconds identity theft takes places, so do you think checking your report once a year is good enough? I have discussed in previous articles about the importance of checking your report every 60 days, because it does not affect your score and a lot of negativity can be reported about you. Lets assume you are getting ready to make a big purchase, or you have just have been denied for a credit application, if you were better prepared you could of done the following.
1. Negotiated a better interest rate
2. Instead of being told no, you were told yes, because you were on top of your credit situation.
3. Maybe you got the job, because your credit showed you were a responsible person.
4. Your insurance premium is lower
Do you see how not properly managing your credit can sneak into all aspects of your personal life? It’s amazing how your credit is the determining factor for a job these days, but with the internet now, you can get access to your profile within a few key strokes securely on-line.
I am sure you are still wondering which report to get, well you should get a 3-1Free Credit Score Report with all 3 scores. This way you get the entire picture, just like the creditors do. You also should sign up for monitoring, that way you are notified when critical changes take place to your personal report. This is absolutely so important I would recommend getting starting as soon as you are done reading this article. I have also mentioned before that some individual may not even marry you, because of your bad credit, wow, this credit stuff is really serious business these days. The need to know is so strong that you need not wait. I would get your Free Credit Score Report now.
