Your
Credit Report
If
you're interested in seeing your credit report, you can order
a copy from any one of three major credit-reporting agencies.
There are certain circumstances, including denial of credit
within the past 30 days, in which federal law states they
must give you a free copy of your credit report. Some sites
that you can often find by searching for freecreditreport.com
will simply give you a free credit report. You can also request
a report directly from Experian at (888) 397-3742, Equifax
at (800) 685-1111, or TransUnion at (800) 888-4213.
Good
Credit Equals Lower Interest Rates
Whenever
a lender gives a consumer a loan, issues a line of credit
or grants a credit card, there is a risk that the borrower
may not repay the loan on time or at all. If a borrower doesn't
repay the loan or pays late, it costs the lender a great deal
of money.
Lenders use your credit history, along with information on
salary, assets and debts, to predict how much risk is involved
with the repayment of the loan. This is much like insurance
companies using your driving history to predict your risk
of having an accident.
Low
Credit Risk
Borrowers
who have good credit histories, high credit scores, steady
income and relatively few debts present a low risk of loss
for lenders. These borrowers usually qualify for loans or
credit lines with lower interest rates.
High
Credit Risk
A
borrower who has had credit problems, whose income varies
substantially from month to month, or who already owes a lot
of money in relation to income (is “overextended”)
poses a higher risk for the lender. In order to offset the
potential loss of money if the borrower can't make payments,
the lender charges a higher interest rate on the loan. If
your rate is 5% higher on a $10,000.00 credit card balance
because of poor credit, you will pay an extra $2,500.00 in
interest every five years. If you do look under freecreditreport.com
there are many choices. Make sure you do as much research
as you can. A search for freecreditreport.com is a good start.
