EXPERIAN

Despite lenders' willingness to loan money, a good credit record from three mayor credit bureaus, experian, equifax and transunion is as important as ever . Almost all lenders have come to rely heavily on computerized profiling to determine what credit they're willing to extend to a potential borrower. Information comes from hundreds of other factors, your payment history, card balances, auto loans, retail accounts etc. The end result is a numerical score that guides lenders in the terms they offer for a variety of financial products.







High scorers over 700 get the lowest interest rates and higher credit lines. Those with low or failing "grades" will get very little and pay plenty. For them the rate on a mortgage will be as much as 6% points higher than the prevailing rate most credit-worthy customers get. A high credit score not only gives you better terms today but may be important in the future should interest rates rise and credit standards tighten.START FIXING YOUR CREDIT NOW!
