Have you seen a copy of your credit file lately? With the recent Royal Commission being released, credit scoring is
\nbecoming the source of truth for banks and approving home loans.<\/p>\n
Recently I have seen some cases where a lender will automatically decline a loan if a customer\u2019s credit score is too low.<\/p>\n
This can affect first home buyers right through to customers looking to refinance or purchase a new home.<\/p>\n
Here are five tips to improve your credit score.<\/p>\n
1. Pay your credits cards, home loan and any personal loans on time
\n2. Don\u2019t apply for the same loan with different banks, only apply for the one loan with the one lender
\n3. If you are in default have a credit repair agency negotiate on your behalf
\n4. We use Restore My Credit in Adelaide 1300 035 970
\n5. Obtain a copy of your credit file before applying for a loan
\n6. Contact your bank and get all loans in order and make sure they are not affecting your credit report in any way.<\/p>\n
