Trying to purchase a fixer upper  Reply with quote  

I've been trying to build my credit for a while now, but I'm having difficulties getting any sort of credit lines due to my 590 credit score. I'm just looking for tip to get my credit up fairly quick, so I can get a home loan that wont kill me with interest rates down the road. Thanks in advance Chris

Although I haven't personally used this service - you could try use myfico.com to view your score with commentary on areas you can fix it. I think ScoreWatch has this feature. Otherwise there is an online community there that might be able to help you with suggestions on raising your credit score.

myfico.com also has a great deal of info on how scores are scored, and if you know how the scores are calculated, you'll know what you need to do.
