How can I ensure a South Carolina high credit score

   and is it possible to raise my credit score?

Your South Carolina credit score and past credit history play a very important role in getting approved for a South Carolina mortgage. A stronger credit score ensures a stronger credit history, which makes it more likely that lenders would approve your application for a loan.  In addition, lenders offer better SC mortgage rates to those with higher credit scores. 

Your credit score and past credit history is maintained in your credit report that also includes detailed information of all your past debts, finances and how well you have repaid your debts. Looking at your credit report, a lender can make a decision on your loan application.  Call 1-877-586-2428 to speak with a South Carolina mortgage specialist, who can obtain your credit report, and review it in detail with you.  You may also fill out our online South Carolina Loan Application, and a mortgage specialist will call you to review your credit with you.

Here are some tips that will help you in maintaining a good credit rating.

 

Tips for Having a High Credit Score:
● Pay your bills on time. Make sure that you do not miss any deadlines. If you have missed payments earlier, avoid it in future.
● Get your credit report a few months before you apply for a South Carolina mortgage loan and review your credit score. This will also help you correct any errors in the report
● Shop for a South Carolina mortgage within a 2 or 3-week period. Do not prolong this period.  If your credit is pulled often in a small time period, it will not cause any damage.  But if you continually get your credit report pulled month after month, this will lower your score. 
● Maintain small balances on credit cards and other loans. The closer you are to the limit on your cards, the lower your credit score will be.  Use your credit cards responsibly.
● If there are any blemishes on the report, attempt to get them removed.
