Tips For Improving Your Credit Score Pt 1

Even though we are dealing with the dismal circumstance of the recession, one good piece of information is that Americans as consumers are expected to be more conscientious and savvy. What this means is that as consumers, we will only borrow what we can find the money to pay for, save cash, and pay off credit card debt at the end of each month. This exciting new trend could also mean that as consumers, our credit scores will flourish, reaching what they industry refers to as super prime, the top score that is achievable.

The following are some tips to help you improve your credit situation.

STUDENT LOANS. As most former college grads struggle with exorbitant student loan payments, it is possible to reduce your monthly bill and with time, have the federal Income Based Repayment Program extend you their forgiveness on your debt. But do not get too excited just yet. The all powerful credit scores don’t simply reflect our ability to pay bills on time, they dictate how we will go about living our lives. If there is an unscrupulous mark on our credit reports, like a thirty day late payment, all of the years you spent paying your bills on time can fly out the window.

Credit scores have been the star of the show during the recession, as consumers and debtors attempt to pay up their mortgage payments and revolve debt. Many people- even those who have had long time high credit ratings, have grumbled that their scores have plummeted as credit card companies cut limits and close inactive cards.

Despite these bits of information, analysts attest that consumers should not focus on their scores, they should hone in on the information that is contained in the report. According to one analyst, “the score is merely a reflection of what is in the report.”

Among all of the data that is recorded in your credit report is the history of your bills. Have they been paid? Everyone tells you this, but it is worth reiterating. Pay your bills on time every month! Did you know that thirty five percent of your FICO credit score is tied to that payment history?
