Making Your Credit Score Work For You
"Imagine what $100,000 in available credit and 40 years of perfect payment history would do to your score!"RYC Credit Doctors adds your name as an Authorized User (AU) on one of our high limit, low balance credit cards with a long and perfect payment history. An AU is someone that has the ability to use the account, but not make any changes to it or the responsibility to repay balances owed. The original intent of the AU position was to give cardholders the ability to add their children, spouses, or employees to their accounts so they could have access to the available credit line. A coincidental benefit occurs during this process whereby the account history for that credit card appears on the AU's credit report and it looks like it has been there since the account was first opened, which gives them a FICO® credit score BOOST. While the AU does not receive the physical card or account number during this process, they will receive the amazing benefit of having that particular credit card's entire credit payment history, limit, and balance "copied and pasted" on to their credit report. This extreme increase in the limit to balance ratio on your report gives you the biggest possible BOOST to your credit in less than 60 days, guaranteed!
Savings Example
The higher your FICO® scores the less you can expect to pay for your loan. For example, on a $216,000 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage:FICO SCORE | INTEREST RATE | MONTHLY PAYMENT |
---|---|---|
760 - 850 | 5.8% | $1,267 |
700 - 759 | 6.02% | $1,298 |
680 - 699 | 6.2% | $1,323 |
660 - 679 | 6.41% | $1,353 |
640 - 659 | 6.84% | $1,414 |
620 - 639 | 7.39% | $1,494 |
Actual National Interest Rates
As you can see in this example using today's national rates, a person with a FICO® score of 760 or better will pay $227 less per month for a $216,000 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage than a person with a FICO® score of 620 that's a savings of $2,724 per year. You can see how essential improving your credit scores can be if they are low, and also how important it is to keep them high if they are good.
