Credit Myths

"The credit bureaus are government

agencies"

The Bureaus are governed by the FTC… They are not part of the government.

Page 14: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit MythsMy score will increase by “Opting out” of the bureau’s pre-screened

offers?

www.OptOutPrescreen.com

The Bureau’s make billions selling your basic information; this is where a lot of your junk mail pre-approved offers come from. (They are not really pre-approvals!)

Credit Myths

"Checking my own credit report harms my

credit score"

You can go to annualcreditreport.com for your free yearly report; without affecting your score.

Page 16: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“My Lender can not use the credit report I obtained

from Annual Credit Report” True

Page 17: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“Your income makes a difference in your

credit score”

The Bureaus do not have your income information and is not used to calculate your score.

Page 18: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“FICO scores are locked in for six

months, and they change every six

months”

Your Scores change every day with all 3 Bureaus!

Page 19: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“Too many open accounts will hurt, therefore you must

close accounts.”

We never recommend closing accounts; that can in itself lower your score!

Page 20: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“Paying off an old collection or charge off

will increase your credit score”

Not unless you get a pay for deletion. (there are exceptions)

Page 21: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“Your credit card balances, have nothing to do with your score."

Your revolving balance to limit ratio counts! 30% of your score is the amount you owe!

Page 22: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

"If I get one credit bureau to remove an item from my credit report, all the other

bureaus will remove it automatically”

All 3 bureaus are separate entities and not all companies report to all 3.

Page 23: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“Multiple mortgage loan inquiries will ding

your score for each one”

Lender inquiries within 30-45 days will count as one ding.

Page 24: Understanding your Credit Score

Credit Myths

“It will take me seven years to improve my

credit”

You need to make your credit a priority and make sure everything reporting is 100% accurate!
