How You Can Take Control of Your Credit Score By Courtney Soinski
Here are some simple tips to repair your credit score: 1. Get a credit card from a major company. Before you go crazy, it is important to note that using a credit card and keeping a balance on one are two totally different matters. Running up a bill that you don't pay in full won't help you build credit. That being said, this tip takes discipline, but it's an easy way to improve a poor credit score if you pay your card off monthly. We suggest using it for things like gas that you will pay off on a monthly basis. 2. Get a prepaid credit card. If you don't trust yourself to use a credit card wisely or just don't want one, then you should get a prepaid credit card. This gives you a way to use a credit card without the temptation of

As an example, a credit score of 620 or below would mean that the person looking to borrow would be categorized as a "sub-prime" borrower, whereas a credit score of 720 would mean that the borrower would be eligible for more favorable loan conditions.

Both homeowners and real estate professionals know how important it is to have a good credit score. You may wonder how much of an impact it can have on your life - well, we're here to answer that question. A good credit score will mean that you qualify for the best loans, rates and terms. This great advantage will gradually save you money through reduced rates over the lifespan of a loan.
