Ask Mike Your Mortgages Questions: Have you been turned down for a Mortgage recently (CREDIT)?

Ways to Improve Credit Score Checklist Some tips on how to improve your credit score:

•FICO scores improve naturally as your credit history gets better over time. You don't need to request a review.
•Avoid going delinquent on payments. Never let the balance of a bill go over into the next month, and don't let your loans slide into default.
•Avoid closing a credit account you don't use, unless there are fees associated with it.
•If you do miss a payment, get current on your payments as soon as possible.
•If you're having difficulty making your payments, get in touch with your creditors or a credit counselor to work out payment arrangements.
•Reduce your outstanding debt on revolving lines of credit such as credit cards.
•Don't transfer balances and shuffle debt frequently. This is seen by the credit bureaus as an attempt to fix your credit rating quickly.
•Re-establish your credit history. Have credit cards and/or installment loans and pay them off each payment cycle.
•Open new accounts that you will use and pay them off on time.
•Avoid opening lots of credit accounts simultaneously or credit accounts you aren't going to use. This is also seen as an attempt to increase your credit score fast.
•Don't get impatient.
