Your credit rating is something you shouldn't take for granted. If left to spin out of control, it can cause serious repercussions that will follow you throughout your life. If your credit isn't the best, or could use an improvement, here are a few ways how you can improve your credit rating.
Make Payments on Time
If you pay your bills late, you're not only incurring late fees, but you're also damaging your credit. And if you miss a payment, it's even worse. Your payment history, even for minor items such as utilities and cable television, is reported to a number of different credit bureaus, so any missed or history of late payments is recorded and weighed against your credit. If you want to build and maintain your credit rating, pay your bills on time and don't miss any payments. If you have missed payments in the past, get back on track. Your recent payment history counts more than ancient history, so be sure to get back on track… and then stay there.
Pay Off Your Debt
If you have debt, pay it off. Don't transfer it all to a credit card and then transfer it from card to card to card. If you just move around your debt, you're not doing anything to pay it down. And even though all your debt might be on your credit card, your credit is still in danger. So, start budgeting to pay off your debt. Pay off that credit card and your other debt payments until nothing remains. If you ignore it, it's going to haunt you for years to come.
Establish Credit History
Your credit rating is established partially on your credit history. Your credit history is based on the information that your creditors have reported to credit bureaus, including credit cards, loans, and even some utility bills. If you have little to no history, there's nothing to go off of to establish your rating, so your credit will be established at a lower rate. There are no prior indicators whether or not you're a delinquent or on-time payer. So, if you want to build your credit, get a credit card, charge a few things, and pay off the majority of the balance. Financial experts recommend keeping your account balances less than 50% of your available credit. It shows that you have the ability to pay back your debt.
Don't Apply for or Take on Too Many Credit Cards
Having and using a credit card wisely can be beneficial to your credit rating. However, if you're constantly applying for new credit cards, it can hurt your rating, especially if you're getting turned down for them. Applying for too many credit cards, in a way, shows that you don't have enough capital to afford your cost of living on your own income. And if you're getting turned down by creditors, it's an indication that your credit standing just isn't up to par, and other creditors will weigh these rejections against you.
Your credit can make or break you. Your credit rating dictates the interest rate you get on loans and whether or not you qualify for additional credit. If left to grow uncontrollably, your credit can be the death of your ability to purchase a home, a car, or even get basic cable television. If you want to improve your credit score, don't let it spin out of control. Pay off all debts, continue your credit history, and pay everything on time.
