I’m trying to find the best mortgage rate to buy a house, therefore there are several mortgage companies running my credit. How in the world am I supposed to shop for a good rate if every inquiry damages my score? Isn’t that the dumbest thing?

I have a cosigner that has excellent credit that will cosign for me to get a credit card to build my score plus to have for emergencies. My score is a 585. I pay my bills on time and don’t spend alot of money on dumb things. I just don’t have anything but a car loan giving me credit and a couple of old accounts that need taken care of.

I have alot of derogatory items on my credit that I actually need to take care of. I have opened some new credit card accounts since I have never had credit cards before. What is the best way to improve my score so that I am not such a high risk?

How is bad credit and good credit determined, and given my situation, how do I make it better.
Please help because I’m thinking about giving a credit card a try since people owe hundreds and thousands of dollars on them, and somehow continue to be approved. Don’t get it.

When I make a purchase with my debit card and go home to check my bank account , the purchase is already in the system. But when I use my credit card it takes at least a couple days. If there are any credit card companies that process as fast as using a debit card, please let me know, Thanks

I really need a company that will tell me how to improve my credit score on MY specific credit report, not general tips.

SMH asked:


I talking about excellent credit with atleast five years of credit history, no blemishes what soever, and someone with a high credit rating. I am just kind of wondering what kind of offers does good credit get you, especially compared to people with bad credit? What kind of APR can you get with bad credit, overdue accounts in the history, poor credit, and a short credit history?
I am just curious as to how much of an advantage is it to have a good credit history?

I just recently paid off all my past credit card debt. I paid off one student loan (expect the interest) and i have one student loan still active. I noticed my credit score went up, but i am still being denied. How long does it take to completely clear off my debt and how soon should i apply for credit so i can rebuild my credit. And do bad credit ever go away?

If I have a credit card that I do not use, how does this account reflect on my credit report? Does it show an open account in good standing?
