Mejore su calificación crediticia con nuestros consejos de asesoramiento crediticio

Nuestros servicios de asesoría crediticia y planes de administración de deudas no están destinados a mejorar su calificación crediticia, pero la educación financiera gratuita que ofrecemos puede enseñarle las formas correctas de mejorar su propia calificación crediticia.
Solicitar su informe crediticio y garantizar su exactitud
Pagar todas las cuentas a tiempo
Aprender cómo se calculan los puntajes crediticios
Aprender a mejorar legalmente el propio crédito
Evite ser estafado por las compañías de reparación de crédito
Todo es un gran consejo y ofrece los aspectos básicos para mejorar su propio crédito de una manera totalmente legal.
Tenemos 5 consejos adicionales propios
Aplaza la solicitud de nuevas tarjetas de crédito. De hecho, tampoco solicites nuevos préstamos bancarios. Cuanto más tiempo pase entre las solicitudes de crédito, mejor será su puntaje. Las consultas difíciles desaparecen de su informe crediticio después de 2 años, por lo que ese es su objetivo mínimo para no solicitar un nuevo crédito.
Quédate con una tarjeta de crédito. Utilice solo una tarjeta de crédito si es posible, preferiblemente la tarjeta más antigua que tenga, para preservar la longitud de su historial crediticio.
Pague los saldos vencidos. No pague nada que esté fuera de la ley (por lo general, eso significa cualquier cuenta que haya estado vencida durante más de siete años), pero cualquier cosa que sea más reciente y muestre saldos vencidos debe pagarse para mejorar su calificación.
Pague los saldos. Cuanto menos adeude por deudas de tarjetas de crédito, mejor será para su calificación. Si pagar por completo no es una opción, intenta reducir tu saldo a menos de la mitad del total disponible en cualquier tarjeta de crédito. Si realmente tienes problemas para pagar tus saldos, llámanos para recibir asesoramiento crediticio gratuito. No se preocupe, la asesoría crediticia no tiene ningún impacto en su calificación crediticia.
Pague todas las facturas a tiempo. Este es el primer punto que hace la Reserva Federal en el enlace anterior, pero vale la pena repetirlo. Lo mejor que alguien puede hacer para mejorar legal y legítimamente su calificación crediticia con el tiempo es pagar las cuentas puntualmente todos los meses.
