Credit Score

One of the most common ways in which lenders evaluate potential borrowers is via a credit score. Credit scores are proprietary formulas which are used to rate the credit worthiness of a consumer. A credit score takes into account a number of factors relating to a specific consumer. These include the number of accounts one has, how long each account has been open, the balance remaining on each account, and the number of payment that were deemed to be late by the lending institution.

Definition

Each of the three American credit reporting agencies - Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax - use their own credit score formula to determine the credit worthiness of a given person or organization. However, the term credit score has become ingrained in the public psyche, especially in recent years, thanks to the growing importance of credit evaluation and personal fiscal management.

Credit scores are designed to indicate the chances of a borrower becoming delinquent in the following two years. While the formula used to determine credit score is not publicly available, certain actions are known to have a positive or negative impact on one's score. Delinquent payments, holding too high a level of debt and holding too many credit channels (credit cards, loans, etc.) can all have a negative impact on one's credit score. Filing for foreclosure or bankruptcy has a significant negative impact. Paying bills on time, paying down outstanding balances and evidence of loans paid in full, generally have a positive impact on one's credit score. A credit score's lower limit is between 300 and 350. The upper limit is between 800 and just over 900. The exact limits depend on the specific agency and are subject to change. The higher one's credit score, the more credit worthy one is considered.

Growing Importance

The past decade has seen an increase in the level of consumer debt owed by the average American household. By October 2003 that rate was above $18,000 per household. For many homeowners struggling with debt, the situation can seem overwhelming. And with credit scores tied closely to debt levels, one can quickly become trapped in a frightening spiral: debt reduces your credit score; your lower credit score stops you from restructuring your finances; your unattended finances require more debt.

But help is at hand. If you have positive equity in your home, you can take out a second mortgage or home equity loan and use that equity to pay off your debts, which in turn will help to improve your credit score. Using your home equity in the wrong circumstances can jeopardize your home and should only be considered after careful thought and expert consultation. If a second mortgage or home equity loan seems like a viable solution, consider talking to one of America's Lending Partners experienced Mortgage Planners. They can show you how to use your mortgage to improve your credit score and secure your financial future.
