It is, however, vital to audit your credit reports before applying for credit. When we conduct the credit audit, we see the same information your potential creditors will be reviewing and analyze your accounts reporting the same way they would when determining if they will grant you credit. Getting a credit audit will give you a chance to correct any errors or make other moves to improve your credit score before applying.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2085″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1596995559551{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}” el_id=”servIn”]\r\n\t\t

A credit score is a number that reflects the information in your credit report. The score summarizes your credit history and helps lenders predict how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make payments when they are due. Lenders may use credit scores in deciding whether to grant you credit, what terms you are offered or the rate you will pay on loan.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t

Because your credit score reflects the information in your credit report, changes to your credit report may cause your credit score to change. For instance, if you pay your bills late or incur more debt, your credit score may go down. However, if you pay down an outstanding balance on a credit card or mortgage or correct an error in your credit report, your credit score may go up.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t

In some cases, a lender may tell you your credit score for free when you apply for credit. For example, if you apply for a mortgage, you will receive the credit score or scores that were used to determine whether the lender would extend credit to you and on what terms. You may also receive a free credit score or scores from lenders when applying for other types of credit, such as an automobile loan or a credit card.<\/p>\n
