Rate Shopping
Because a mortgage is a major purchase, the bureaus allow a window of time for borrowers to “rate shop” and have their credit pulled multiple times without it affecting their credit score.
13
The score ignores all mortgage in
the prior 30 days and auto
inquiries made in the 15 days prior.
14
All those inquiries are counted as just 1 inquiry
LATE PAYMENTS
So How Bad Does it Hurt?
Experian's National Score Index study showed that the average credit score for U.S. consumers with no late auto payments is nearly 100 points higher than those who have at least one late payment. The national average credit score for consumers with no late auto payments is 703, while the average score for consumers with at least one late payment is 605.

COLLECTIONS
Dealing with old collections as a means to raise someone’s credit score can actually have a negative
impact on a person’s credit score. This is because it will bring the “DLA” current, and the impact of that
collection will be felt all over again.
Therefore, the proper time to deal with collections is as at closing, if possible.

Becoming an authorized user will increase your credit
score…

MAYBE….Becoming an authorized user on the account of someone who maintains a low balance and pays their bills on time WILL help to increase your score.
However, if the main account holder maxes out their credit card or pays late, being an authorized user can DECREASE your score.
Make sure the person has a very low balance and no late payments for the last 7 years before becoming an authorized user on an account.
24
It’s best to close as many accounts as
possible to get your score higher…
Source: www.myfico.com
FALSEThis is because of a person’s "credit utilization ratio“ which looks at a person’s total used credit
in relation to the total available credit.
The higher this ratio, the more it can negatively affect a person’s credit score.
So, by closing an old card, some of the available credit is wiped out, increasing the credit utilization
ratio, which can LOWER the score.
26
My credit score will drop if I apply for new
credit…

MAYBE……It depends on the inquiry type. Most credit scores are not affected by multiple inquiries from auto, mortgage or student loan lenders. Typically, these are treated as a single inquiry and will have little impact on the credit score.
However, if you apply for several credit cards within a short period of time, multiple inquiries will appear on your report.
Looking for new credit can equate with higher risk which could drop a score.

A poor score will follow me

A score is a “snapshot” of risk at a particular point in time. It changes as new information is added to credit bureau files.
Past credit problems impact credit scores less as time passes.
By following today’s tips, a person can
eventually increase their scores, and qualify for lower interest rates.
