Check your Credit Scores
Summary: Suppose that being a financial control freak makes you a model borrower on the eyes of creditors? Check your credit score or read on.
Suppose that being a financial control freak makes you a model borrower on the eyes of creditors? The answer is certainly no. I bet you’re surprised. I was.
If you don’t believe me, check your credit score. See how it increases your credit score average when you add details such as 5 credit cards with balances on each one. Even a mortgage account won’t do. You’d have to have a credit account or creditors will say that you are financially inactive and that could mean several reasons, most of which are hardly smoothening to your ears. Plus they should have accounts in them, the more substantial the accounts the better the credit score will be. Try and check your credit score. Add multiple credit accounts like 5 and add something until the 35% each credit limit. See how it considerably boosts your score.
Banking institutions are just what they are. So don’t go mistaken that a clean slate will guarantee you a credit line. No, sorry but banking business don’t run it as you think it should be. After all, business is business and everybody is only worth what they for.
Perhaps the FICO ratings are the biggest factor for the bad result when you check your credit score. While a hefty 35% represents your paying ability (timely payments included), the rest are all past and present condition and outcome of your credit activities. And if you have no activities in this department whatsoever, you get a failing grade in the 65%. Even if you score perfect 35% for one credit card account, 15% is for the time you handled your credit account -meaning the more time you handled credit the better the score. 30% of the score is also the status of your account, whether they are bursting at the seams or not.
Why do banking institutions make such a fuss on credit history rather on economical spending? The answer is because bankers tread a fine of balancing profit and trustworthiness. There are even financial institutions that pursue more on collateral (profit) than the paying ability of the creditor. No, banks are far from the savior that most individuals think they are. They’re just another commercial organization bent on making money like every other business. And a consumer who is spending thrift is no different from a consumer who skips credit payments habitually.
And speaking on skipping, while you check your credit score did you notice how the system seems to ignore 2 or 3 payments? Try it and puzzle it out. Eventually, you’ll decide that banking institutions are more lenient to consumers who delay twice or thrice than those who do less credit access but pays on time. The answer again is business.
