What is your credit history
Posted on Sep 7, 2000 08:15:27 AM
Credit history keeps a record of what credit you have been. What is the amount of credit available to you where you work, how many times other potential lenders to seek your history, how many years you lived at current address and how you pay the bills.
The credit history of the plant itself, from the moment when you yourself are opening a bank account (checking for a start), so you manifest in those agencies, which the bank uses. Initially, the story will be small and stunted. And the only thing she would say to potential lenders and other interested parties that the person in debt has not taken. In some cases, when opening a checking account with the bank immediately and offer a credit card. Must be taken. Request to the credit agencies, and so and so will be, but if the bank decides that the absence of bad entries in the history of catastrophic, something else and give credit card fine. And the story will grow.
Also you can spoil a credit history:
Moving to other cities and regions. You will be asked, how long have you lived at current address. If the answer is – less than two years, where you lived before. If a person moves from place to place every year, it is unreliable. Plus, he can pick up credits and decamp to another state.
Recent cards that you have got lower rating. If banks have a large number of requests for your story, it lowers the rating. Usually this means that you run around and try to get “at least some” credit card. Then something is unclean or bad happened, that you rushed to gain credit.
A large number of lines of credit. If you have twenty credit cards, each with a limit of 2,000 dollars, the total amount of credit 40,000. And if you can pay it all if that? Therefore a small salary larger loans will not give.
Refusals to grant credit too are recorded in your credit history. Subsequent creditors, seeing that before them someone has not given credit, too, may change his mind and not give credit.
If you have any payments. This should be avoided by all possible forces. If you have any payment mistakenly marked as overdue, requires the removal of letters, that everything was normal and did not give up. Because late payments is very, very strong credit rating may actually understate the weight.
Outstanding loans. Worst of loans outstanding is only bankruptcy. If you do not pay for some time, the lender may give up on you hand and sell your debt collection agency – the office to collect debts. That office will provide the initial creditor a certain amount of money, and then will try to shake out of you all, that is possible. Offices are more than unpleasant, and better to avoid situations when the debt goes to the “builders”.
