Mortgage : Home Loans : Refinance : Home Equity Loans

By Louie Latour

If you are in the process of shopping for a new mortgage or refinancing your existing mortgage and are concerned about your credit, there are steps you can take to improve your credit score. Even a small boost of 50 points in your in your credit score will have a significant impact on the interest rate you will qualify. Here are several tips to help you tune up your credit prior to applying for a mortgage loan.

Having credit problems in your past is not a life sentence. Improving and repairing your credit takes time and responsible use of your credit. The most important aspect of credit repair is to make all of your existing payments, including your mortgage on time. If you are struggling to make ends meet every month and have an existing mortgage, refinancing and cashing out equity in your home to pay off your higher interest debt could provide your budget much needed relief.

If you are considering purchasing a home, qualifying for a bad credit mortgage will help repair your credit. The mortgage will help by providing you the opportunity to build a history of making mortgage payments on time. If you make all of your payments on time for a period of two years, you will be able to refinance with a traditional mortgage lender and qualify for normal interest rates.

Maintaining a history of on time payments is an important aspect of rebuilding your credit. If you have negative information in your credit history such as write-offs or judgments, it is important to negotiate with the creditor to have this information removed. You will have to settle with these creditors and pay off the amount to have negative information removed. Request copies of your credit reports from each of the three credit agencies and carefully scrutinize these records for errors prior to applying for a mortgage loan; if you find errors you will need to dispute them with each credit agency.
