Secret Strategies to Building Great Credit
Perhaps you went through a rough divorce, extended period without
a job, a costly medical situation and the end result was that your once
great credit has now seen better days. You fear the damage is too
severe, you are overwhelmed with collection calls and simply at a loss
for where to turn. Your current strategy is to put your head in the
sand and hope it all gets better.
Take a deep breathe… relax. There is a better way.
Start from the beginning. The first step in correcting your credit is education! Understanding what
determines your score will help you in improving it. The pie chart covers all 5 factors and we have an
article on our home page that provides detail on each area. For the sake of building credit we’re going
to focus on three key areas:
Payment History — While 35% of your credit score
comes from how you pay your bills, there are lesser
known areas that are just as critical in improving
your scores. Paying your bills on time will take care
of the first and foremost area. There’s no rocket
science here, but it is critical.

Moving forward might seem impossible, however, as you may be wondering how to establish credit
when credit card companies deny you for a new credit card. Be encouraged! There are ways to
reestablish positive credit. Some secured credit cards that require no credit check. Simply deposit
the minimum required amount to open a card (Typically $200-$300) and you are provided a card
with the equivalent balance. These type of cards are a great stepping stone for rebuilding credit. Be
aware, however, that some secured credit cards do check credit and you can be denied. Make sure
to seek out a card that has no credit checks. Once you have a minimum of two secured credit cards,
you will want to make sure to never carry a balance more than a 30% of you limit. With these cards
beware of annual charges and fees. Shop around assuring you get a card with the lowest fees and
rates.
Debt Ratio — 30% of your score derives from balances on
active credit. Keeping your balances low is a must in the
equation.
Unfortunately your debt can be high (Especially during
the holidays) and credit history can be poor. Since 15% of
your credit score comes from having a mix of credit, an
advanced strategy is to take advantage of secure
installment loans from your bank. In order to accomplish
this, deposit money into a savings account and obtain a CD. Then, obtain a loan against the
CD. Typically most banks provide such loans and start out at $1,000. Now that you have the loan,
use the money from your secured installment loan to open two secured credit cards.
