Is your Credit Score Too High ?
At some time in your life you will walk into a bank and apply for a loan or mortgage of some kind. If you live in the western world, the bank will invariably check a central credit agency in order to validate your ability to make payments on the loan that you are applying for. Your banker will tell you to relax, this is painless, as he/she reviews your credit score from the central agency. This will be the time when that critical purchase of a home or new car will cause you to silently say, Darn, I wish I knew how to increaase my credit score. We have all been there and done that – some of us more times than we can count.
Still yet others mentioned tricks such as constantly querying the credit beaurea and challenging them to respond to you within a period of time mandated by law. Truthfully, enough people mentioned the latter, that it appears that this somewhat underhand method has some validity in some jurisdictions.
As mentioned above, most people simply answered “pay your bills on time and your credit rating will be excellent”. We counter that paying your bills on time is fact expected and that this can give you an average credit rating of 5-700. But is this “pay your bills” thought really true? We are going to name this as myth number 1 and look more closely at it here. Loan institutions absolutely adore customers whom pay off their bills on time every month? We calculate stupendous bank profits in that model, right? The truth is, loan institutions and other lenders including the mafia are in absolute love with people who maintain a nice healthy balance that they can get charged interest on.
Ok, myth-ism number 2. Banks and Loan Sharks love people who borrow as much as possible. Really? If this were the case, people who couldn’t repay loans would get huge amounts of credit and constantly end up in repayment problems. Do I hear echoes of a well known mortgage problem in here? So perhaps this isn’t 100% of the answer either.
Let’s cut to the chase. Banks and your, ahem, local mafia lender ( ohh are these two interchangeable ? ) love clients who pay more than the interest each month but not enough to seriously subtract from the actual prinicipal amount. These are cherished suckers and enough of these on a banks balance sheets makes for a very healthy bank. These customers also have the ongoing income to keep their total loan amounts very much under the total allowed credit range. It is this loan to credit that more strongly influences whether a credit rating will be closer to 670 or 900. Lets look at an example, 35,000 in credit and 14,000 already used.
The key phrase here being “ongoing ability ” and “debt ratio”. Ongoing ability is why some older retired persons with otherwise good credit may sometimes have difficulty refinancing longer term loans. They are viewed as being possible risks because of the “ongoing income” requirement.
Under this scenario, best Candidates are not just those without payment defaults, such a person who can still get to 650 on the credit score, but those few lucky individuals who can pop an 800 or more. So the key issue for those looking to increase their credit scores from perhaps a low 600 to a high 800 or 900 depends more on other factors.
That something else is the debt ratio. The key issue for getting credit card ratings above 6-700 is the debt/credit ratio.
