What can hurt your credit score?
Hard Credit Inquiries - Checking your credit can affect your score but only if it is a hard credit inquiry.
Loan Default - Defaulting means that you are not keeping up with the terms of your personal or student loan.
Late Payment - Having ANY late payment appear on your credit report will have an impact on your credit score. Other consequences include being charged a late fee and increased interest rates on your account.
Collections - If you miss bill payments, your debt can be sent to a third party that works on behalf of the creditor to collect the amount owed. While having debt sent to collections can negatively impact your score, the severity diminishes over time.
Bankruptcy - Filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is common among those who cannot handle their debt and need a way out. The way this impacts your credit score really depends on your current score when you apply for bankruptcy.
What can help your credit score?
Disputing Errors on your Credit Report - The latest FTC report shows that approximately 1 in 4 Americans found at least one significant error on their report.
Keep Good Debt - Do not remove debt that has been on your credit report for a while and is in good standing.
Paying Down Debt - Your payment history is the most important factor for your credit score, so you should always try to make full payments on time. If you can’t pay the full amount owing, it’s important to make the minimum payment.
Increasing Your Credit Limit - You should always try to use less than 35% of your total available credit. For example, if you have a credit card with a $10,000 limit, you should keep your balance below $3,500 (35%).
On-Time Rent Payments - First, ask your landlord if they submit to any of the three major bureaus. Although not every landlord does so, rent can play a role in improving your credit score. Making sure that you are paying your rent on time every month is just as important as paying any bill.
