"5 tips for selecting the best tradelines."

Tradeline Tip 1. Higher credit limits and older aged tradelines correlate to bigger credit score increases.  Tradeline Tip 2.   You should have at a bare minimum, at least 3 OPEN & POSITIVE tradelines (AKA accounts) on your credit report. Meaning one tradeline is NOT enough to get approved for most anything. Tradeline Tip 3. Within your credit monitoring site, go to the 'credit factors' section. It will tell you exactly what you need as far as tradelines go. Are your accounts of low age? Then you need an aged tradeline at least 10+ years old. [The older the tradeline, the bigger your credit score increase.] Is your debt over 30% utilization? Then you need a high credit limit card to help balance out your utilization.  Do you have negative inaccurate accounts? Then you need a credit sweep.  Do you have a bunch of credit inquiries not linked to open positive accounts? Then you need inquiry removal.  Tradeline Tip 4. You should select tradelines from the

Rule of Thumb when Purchasing a Home

As a general rule, the total monthly cost of your mortgage payment, property taxes, and insurance should not exceed more than 28% of your pre-tax income, and your combined monthly payments across  all  your outstanding debt should not exceed more than 36% of your pre-tax income.

Credit Repair Myth's

Myth # 1: When I pay off a past-due account, such as a charge off or a collection account, it will show "paid" and no longer be negative. It is difficult to fully restore your credit without paying your outstanding debts. However, paying off a debt can actually hurt your credit. Negative items on your credit report are usually allowed to stay on your credit report for a maximum of seven (7) years. This 7 or 10 year clock begins ticking at the date of last activity or date of first delinquency. When paying an outstanding debt, you can change the account status and the date of last activity which can lower your scores. Myth # 2: If a negative item is successfully deleted from my credit report, it will just come right back on my report. The credit bureaus have cleverly spread this myth through the news media and government agencies. In truth, the credit bureaus will often temporarily delete a negative listing if they have not heard from the credit grantor for 30 day

NoDerog | iStock | Getty Images Good news for those who are collecting Social Security: Your monthly checks likely will be bigger next year. The Social Security Administration generally announces its cost-of-living adjustment in October. The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan organization, keeps an ongoing estimate of what that increase could be. The latest estimate — excluding September — pegs that increase at  2.8 percent . For those collecting the average Social Security benefit of about $1,400, that would mean an extra $39 a month. If that does not change between now and October, that will be the highest bump retirees have seen in recent years. In 2018, the  cost-of-living adjustment increased  by 2 percent, though for many that increase was eaten up by higher Medicare premiums. In 2017, the cost of living adjustment was just 0.3 percent, while in 2016, it was zero. Cost-of-living adjustments are aimed at ensuring that benefi

What are tradelines

What Are Tradelines? Trade lines are a great tool to use, but they promote a lot of questions. This is a great FAQs page to visit prior to diving into some of the more complicated areas of trade lines.
