Credit Scores: Don't Waste Your Money By: Jeanette Joy Fisher Did you know that your credit score that you purchase online is not the same credit score your loan officer gets? You probably know that when you apply for a mortgage, your loan officer gets all three credit reporting agencies reports with three different scores. From your three credit scores, most mortgage companies use your middle credit score to determine your credit worthiness. Do you know that the credit score an auto dealer sees is not the same credit score your loan officer sees? Imagine our surprise to find out that my husband's credit score for purchasing my new car one afternoon was 50 points higher than his top credit score was earlier in the day when he refinanced an investment house. This happened because credit scores get computed differently for mortgages and auto loans! If you think that you have a great credit score because you recently bought a new car, think again. You may have been told that your credit score was 700 by a finance company. Therefore, you think that you have the perfect credit score to buy a house. Don't be surprised to hear from your loan officer that your credit score falls short of a prime rate mortgage loan. You don't want to have your credit history checked too often. You do get a small penalty with a few points deducted when you have too many inquiries on your credit report. However, when you're shopping for a car or a home loan, the credit reporting agencies batch your inquiries into one. In other words, you can call several mortgage lenders to shop for the best terms and rates without losing points. Don't waste your money buying your credit scores. These scores are not the ones real estate lenders get. Instead, get your credit scores FREE by calling a loan officer. Copyright © Jeanette J.

Inside Finance Credit Report - How To Read?   Reading a credit report is very important. What the law doesn’t do is give every American the ability to read their credit report. That leaves you as your own correcting agent. Trust Funds   Let's discuss about trust funds. The first and the foremost benefit of a trust is the tax saving. A trust can protect the grantor from paying huge taxes and claims. Money kept in abeyance in the form of a trust can be helpful in your old age when you take retirement, when your children need money for higher studies or for the secure future of your spouse or when you plan to do a venture in business etc. The money enveloped in the name of trust is exempted from taxes like the estate tax and the like. The tax subsidy actually varies with the kind of trust you have formed. What Is Big Responsibility?   The big responsibility is to getting a credit card. However, getting a credit card is also a huge responsibility and if you don't keep an eye on your spending habits, credit cards can create some serious problems. Any credit card receipts should be kept until you can compare them to your monthly statement. Keyman Insurance   Keyman Insurance financially protects businesses from the effects of serious illness or death of staff who are central to the success of the company. It does this by providing cash when you need it most, so you can cover loss of profits, inject more cash into the business, or take on temporary staff. Holiday loans   Holiday loans are personal loans that are meant to pay for a special reason called holiday. Holiday loans are both secured and unsecured. This makes options for both homeowners and tenants. Unsecured holiday loans will not require any security and would be approved in lesser time.
