It All Starts With Your Credit Scores
In 2003 Congress passed legislation giving all consumers the right to request and receive one free credit report per year from the three national repositories as seen below: Equifax (www.equifax.com)
FREE CREDIT REPORTS are now available although you should know it is access to usually one report only not all three and no credit scores. Credit scores are what is needed to get any loan, mortgage, car loan, credit cards, and other loans. You can get more information about this at the links below: Free consumer access to credit reports All lending agencies use the FICO credit scores to determine what type of loan and interest rate you qualify for. A higher credit score means you will qualify for a lower interest rate loan and better loan programs. If you are considering refinancing or buying a home and need a loan we seriously suggest you start by pulling your own credit report at the FICO link below. Rate and Monthly Payment
From the FICO link above start with the following: The Must-Have All 3 scores and 3 online credit reports from TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. More Info - Sample - Why you need all 3 scores $44.85

Understanding
Credit Scoring -17 Page Booklet Lending agencies base the interest rates and loan programs you qualify for on your middle credit score, from the three national repositories as seen above. If you are married and the loan depends on both of your incomes, which is usually the case, they pick the spouse with the lowest credit score and use the middle score of that spouse. This is why it is very important to pull the credit scores for both you and your spouse and start working on increasing those scores from now on. This will not be the last time you go for a loan. Your FICO credit score is used for all loans, cars, credit cards, educational loans, and mortgage loans. Making twice as much money as you do now makes very little difference compared to paying off your debts, paying all bills on time, and cleaning up any credit issues that should not be on your report. The jump from a middle score of 670 to 680 is the area where many good rates and programs begin to happen and it just gets better the higher the score.
Pre-Paid Credit Cards All it takes is $44.85 to pull your scores and reports, as mentioned above. If you do not have a credit card to pull your scores and reports you can purchase a prepaid credit card just like a prepaid phone card at one of your local stores. Here are just a few links found from a www.google.com search on prepaid credit cards. http://www.rlrouse.com/prepaid-credit-cards.html http://www.westernunion.com/info/osPrepaidMC.asp http://www.creditcardcatalog.com/prepaidcreditcards/ http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/prepaidcards/
