Updating credit scores?

redmeansgo asked:


I was just looking at my credit report/score and the most recent information it gave from my cards and accounts was from March, for all three bureaus. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to get that updated, like call equifax, tu, or anything like that. I’m not looking into buying anything right now, I would just like to know why my score hasn’t gone up since March. All my balances are lower than they were now, so I don’t see why nothing has updated. Thanks!

Credit Score – Time and Points – Need Professional Advice?

Ryan T asked:


My three credit scores are as follows:
Trans-608
Exp-573
Equi-596
These are quite low due to some bad rental history that lead to collection agencies. I have student loans (subsidized) which show good payment history and is boosting it. The bad credit totals to around 15,000 dollars. Holy smokes! I left some apartment complex’s when I was younger…bad idea. Here is my question; by august of this year my reports will only show 5672 dollars of bad credit (checked with agencies; over 7 years old at that point); and after Jan 2010 my report will only show 1557 dollars of bad credit; so how long after these get dropped will it take my credit score to rise (hopefully skyrocket) and by about how many points. Thank you for your time.
Forgot to add that my good standing credit (loans) is 12,000 dollars.
SAMTA ..THAT WAS RETARDED ..I ALREADY KNOW MY CREDIT SCORES AND THAT WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE BY MY LEFT TESTICLE.

I have little/no credit: what will my credit score be around?

Roswell asked:


I’m 21 years old. I’ve never had a credit card (I always refused to put myself into such a predicament). I’ve been paying a T-Mobile cell phone bill steadily for three years, and I’ve only taken out student loans, all 3 of which are not defaulted.

I’m looking to become a renter in an apartment complex I’ve fallen in love with. The monthly rent is more than within my reach but they do a credit background check and the score needs to be 700 or higher.

I’ve never heard of “credit scores” and several people I’ve asked (including parents) have no idea.

I registered for a free credit report and it said I have no initial credit besides my student loans (didn’t even list the cell bill). It never gave me a credit score number, it just said that the server was busy (every single time – definitely a fishy scam if you ask me).

With my small credit, what will my credit score be about? Will I have a shot at this apartment? Should I take out a co-signer with good credit?
There might have been a typo: I CAN afford the monthly rent. I could afford MORE than that. I’m just concerned that my credit will pay too much of a factor.

The Benefits of Free Credit Report

Tima.ashar asked:


payments, late payments, defaults, credit billing information, and personal information. It is

important to have a look at this document even if you do not have any substantial credit history to

ensure that the report is accurate and does not misrepresent facts. Another reason for keeping a

check is the prevalence of identity theft.

The credit report is an important document in today’s credit based economy, when most of us

own/use not just one but many credit cards. It matters a lot when you go to take loans and home

mortgages. This is because the interest rates on these deals are influenced by the soundness of

your credit history and credit score.

A free credit report is easy to get hold of. Have a look at it and browse through all the sections carefully. Make sure your personal, biographical records are accurate. Find out if there is any error in reporting bill payments you made to credit card companies or credit companies. If there are old records of defaults and late payments, find out if these can be removed.

Check your credit score against the average national score. If it is low, find out if that may affect the interest rates you may be offered. Find out ways of improving the scores from people who deal with such issues.

The three major credit bureaus offer paid credit reports with credit scores and other related services. Visit their websites and learn more about managing your credit history.

Identity theft has emerged as a modern white-collar crime. The criminal makes use of your identity to take loans or even get a job, and alters your address for correspondence so that all relevant mail is redirected to some other address. Keeping watch on your credit report can help you identify purchases you never made.
