Martin Pelmore, Ways To Raise Your Credit Score Fast


Many people have credit scores that are less than perfect. To date, there
are over 30 million people in the U.S. alone with severe credit blemishes.
Though it is a common problem, a bad credit score can prevent you from
getting a loan or credit card that has reasonable terms. If you need to
raise your credit score fast, here are three things to try:

Reduce the Balance on Your Credit Cards

Making installment payments on your loans can help raise your credit score,
but reducing your credit card balances can help raise it even faster. Credit
card balances are an example of a revolving account. Revolving accounts only
look good if there is a large gap between the amount of credit you are using
and the available credit limit. If possible, try to get your credit card
balances reduced to less than 30 percent of your credit limit.

Check Your Credit Card Limits

Because many credit card companies, such as American Express and Capital
One, do not officially report your credit limit to the credit bureaus, the
bureaus use your history purchases to determine what your limit is. For
example, if your credit card has a limit of $3,500, but the most you have
ever charged is $2,500 the bureau will assume that $2,500 is your charging
limit. If you have a habit of charging this amount on your card every month,
it may look like you are constantly maxing out the card?even if you pay the
balance. To remedy the situation or to quickly raise your credit score, ask
your credit card company to update your limit information with the bureau or
pay your balance before your statement period closes.

Dispute Old Negatives

Just as you can dispute errors on your credit report, you can also dispute
negatives. This can sometimes be the easiest way to raise your credit score
fast. Often times, collection agencies and lenders have moved your
information around so much that their records are a mess. If this is the
case, they may not bother to pursue a situation or dispute. If they no
longer want to make the effort to collect the money, the negative item can
be dropped from your report.
