Clearing Your Credit Report: How Long?

When you have negative information in your credit report that is accurate, there is only one way to get rid of it.  Only the passage of time can lead to its eventual removal. The good news is that it will eventually be removed.

Any accurate negative information that has been filed in your credit report can generally stay on your report for seven years. As always, there are certain exceptions. Any information about a bankruptcy you have filed may be included in your credit report for up to ten years.

Get the lowest mortgage loan rates by improving credit history

Many home buyers are very worried about this issue. We’ve even heard one story that an applicant was denied a mortgage because he had returned a rented videotape late!
Of course, that could never happen. And most people don’t need to worry about the effects of their credit history.
However, you can be better prepared if you get a copy of your credit report to review before you apply for your mortgage. That way, if there are any errors you can take steps to correct them before you make your application.

If you have had credit problems, be prepared to discuss them honestly with your mortgage lender — and come to your application meeting with a written explanation.
Responsible mortgage lenders know there can be legitimate reasons for credit problems, such as unemployment, illness or other financial difficulties.
If you had a problem that’s been corrected, and your payments have been on time for a year or more, your credit will probably be considered satisfactory.

If you need a home loan now and can’t fix your credit report first., then use E-Loan for a fast and painless loan approval with bad credit.

Is Free Credit Report A Scam?

MARY LAN TOMKINS
The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday alerted consumers that the agency has received complaints about companies who claim to give consumers a free credit report.  The credit reports these companies offer aren’t truly free – the consumer gets stuck with fees that are hidden in the fine print, or they are enrolled in memberships for unwanted services.  We’ve all seen that often-run commercial with the catchy jingle about how this guitar-toting man’s life is a mess because of identity theft and he’s forced to work at some restaurant.
