Most consumers have found themselves to be heavily reliant upon “credit” and all that it avails. As you have heard me say in my presentation time and again, the credit bureaus were initially created to show and report our credit worthiness. Progressively the bureaus were posed with a variety of options on how to maximize their bottom line. I would tell you that I was not there for that initial board room meeting; however, if it were up to me to dictate exactly what I believe to have been said, the conversation probably went something like this.

“Currently we are reporting the credit worthiness of each consumer who has a social security number and has applied for, is in possession of, or has business demands which would cause them to necessitate credit.”

“Because of the laws of supply and demand, economic fluctuation, and various unknown factors, there are scores of ways in which the bureau(s) can benefit from such demands. Let us take a moment to bring to the “drawing board” how our “service” can and will be affected if we strategically and divisively use the above said factors to our own professional gain.

With the above factors taken in to consideration, a course of action was positioned, directed, and executed.

Once again, I was not present for the conversation that I am convinced took place, however, I strongly believe that there is a good chance that I am right on target as to the course of strategic planning and the effect that we feel today as a result.

Tip 1
ALWAYS know to whom you are giving your personal information

Tip 2
Pay ALL obligatory debts ON TIME as agreed

Tip 3
Minimize your debt to credit limit ratio! Remember the magic number is 30%.

Tip 4
BUYER BEWARES! Upon shopping for ANY loan, state to the broker/creditor that you will only authorize your credit be pulled ONCE!

Tip 5
NEVER close any account that reflects 2 years (or more) historical data. Remember: When building credit, 24 months constitutes credit history!!

Tip 6
As your accounts accrue “age” or “history” your FICO scores will consistently reflect that your score(s) have increased.

Tip 7
MONITOR YOUR CREDIT REPORT EVERY 30 DAYS

Tip 8
Becoming an authorized user on a seasoned account with good history will raise your FICO score(s) immediately.

Tip 9
Upon restoring your credit, it is advised that you inform your creditors that your account should be updated!!!

Because your FICO scores are consistently on the rise, your interest rates should be declining rapidly!!! Remember, this is something that you must request. It is unlikely that creditors will automatically offer better interest rates to you automatically. You may be presented with a credit limit increase (at the same interest rate). Is this really a good deal for you? NO!

If you are offered a credit limit increase, accept such on your own terms!!!!

**A higher credit limit at a lower interest rate allows you as the consumer the ability to use your credit to your advantage!!!!!**

Remember: this is what you have been working for!

Tip 10
Obtaining a credit card in the name of your business will never appear on your personal credit report. This allows a substantial increase in your power to invest; you are able to take out any amount of cash in the name of your business without jeopardizing your personal credit score.

This is an excellent tool for real estate transactions, as the money is invisible!
