Credit repair
This week I had four different people get denied for home purchase loans. A few years back in 2004 some of these Michigan home buyers would have gotten their loans approved. For example.
- One borrower had only one open trade line. Now days many banks want two to three open credit lines.
- One potential home buyer had a 583 mid score, now you need a minimum 620 score to get a loan.
- One had a bankruptcy. A couple of years ago you could get a loan done with in a year of having a bankruptcy, now you have to wait at least 2 years.
- One just had a very low score and bad credit. Back then they could get a loan and just put more down. Not any more. No loan, no how.
All of these home buyers have to get their credit repaired.
Step one: Pay all your bills on time. You need at least on year of perfect credit history to bring your score up. So pay your bills on time.
Step two: Don’t let anything else go into collection. No medical bills, or co-pays can go into collection. Collections drive down your score.
These are just the first two steps of credit repair. Stay tuned for more credit repair tips
