The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your Credit Score by Lita Epstein,Lita, MBA Epstein Pdf

Consumers have known about credit reports for a long time; we're well aware that lenders rely on them to determine whether they want to do business with us. Any time we want to buy a house, rent an apartment, or take out a loan, it's a safe assumption that one or several reporting agencies are going to be contacted to provide our credit history. But we don't always realize that there's a single element on that report that determines success or failure, and that's a three-digit number called a credit score. Created by Fair Isaac and Company, this formerly secret FICO number was until fairly recently available only to lenders and businesses, and although it's hush-hush no longer, many of us still don't understand it because there hasn't been enough information on what it is and what exactly lenders are looking for. And we certainly haven't known how to make it work for us rather than against us. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your Credit Score, author Lita Epstein clearly explains what your credit score is and how it impacts your life. Rather than putting the focus squarely on credit emergencies, it provides everything readers need to know to raise their score and keep it high, now and in the future.
