The Two Ways You Rebuild Or Improve Your Credit Scores Are By…

1. Cleaning derogatory information off your credit reports
2. Using new (and old) credit wisely and responsibly

You will find a multitude of lenders that want to work with you (even if you have horrible credit scores) to help you rebuild your credit.

This is Important!

As you work your credit rebuilding plan, keep this in mind; lenders place the most weight on your current history. They know you had trouble in the past, but they want to see how you are handling your credit responsibilities now.

Six Step Credit Rebuilding Plan By Using New Credit

1. You need a budget so you can make intelligent decisions about how to go about rebuilding your credit. Be sure to allow for monthly payments for new credit debt. You must go into debt in order to build a good history of responsible credit management.

2. Open one or two secured credit card accounts. Secured credit cards are the easiest to open and are reported to the credit bureaus. You determine the credit limit on the cards by making a deposit with the credit card company. Your deposit is your credit limit. After a 6 to 12 month history of responsible use with the card, you can ask for your deposit back and the card will revert to a regular un-secured card.

3. Don’t pay off the balance every month. Your goal is to build a solid payment history of timely monthly payments. It’s better for your credit scores if you always leave a balance on the card, even if it’s a small balance.

4. Never close a credit card account. One measure used in determining credit scores is your debt to high balance ratio. Lenders want to see 30%, or less, debt to limit ratio. If you have a card with a limit of $1,000, and your balance is $850, your debt to limit ratio is 85% ($850 divided by $1,000). But if you also had another card with a $5,000 limit and a zero balance, your total debt would be $850 and your total high limit available credit would be $6,000 ($1,000 plus $5,000). Your total debt to high limit ratio would then be 14% ($850 divided by $6,000). If you had previously closed your un-used card with the $5,000 limit, instead of a 14% ratio, you would be looking really bad with an 85% debt to limit ratio.

5. Open different kinds of credit lines. The more different types of credit you have, the more credit bureaus reward you with better scores. Someone with a credit card or two, a department store credit line, an auto loan, a bank loan, and a mortgage payment shows they are able to handle various types of credit responsibly. Don’t limit yourself to just credit cards. One suggestion to add a new credit line would be to get a secured bank loan. Do this by opening a savings account with the bank, then take out a new loan using the savings account is security for the loan. The bank has no risk and will be happy to make the loan.

6. Never take on more debt than you can handle comfortably. This is the most important step of all and is why a budget is so important. The goal is to rebuild your credit, not to bury you in debt you can’t handle. Be careful to not get over extended. Always leave a cushion for savings and emergencies. Be wise!
