How would a collection of 230 affect a person with 50000 in available credit and 730 score?

Your credit score can be decreased by having collection accounts listed, a judgment, late payments or if you have too much available credit. If you have that much credit, you would want to contact the credit issuer to lower your credit limit. Your debt should never be more than 35% of the available credit. Timely, consistent payments to your creditors and low credit limits will help increase your credit score.


I have a really bad credit score of 91. what is the minumum credit score i would be looking for if i was looking for a small loan?

if your credit score is that bad i suggest you not look for a loan at all.you need to build up your score,did you do this to your score . if you did you have a job ahead of you my score was 558 and its taking me a lot of time and effort to get my score up to par, so may god be with you..I believe the lowest poosible score is around 340.

Does a parent's credit score affect student loan?

If the student loan is taken out in the name of the student then no. The student's credit score is separate from anyone else's. If the student loan is taken out in the name of the parent or with them as cosigner then yes - their credit scores would come into play.

If you payoff your credit cards how long will it take for your credit score to go up?

Your credits score is not dependent on you paying off your credit cards but rather on your credit worthiness. For instance you can have a large amount owing on your credit card and provided you are meeting the minimum payments on this you will be seen as a good risk and have a good credit score. If however you default on these payments or indeed payments on any other debts that you may have, your credit rating will be damaged and you will find it harder to get credit in future. This disjoint between credit worthiness and the amount of debt people are able to build up is partially the cause of our present global financial difficulty, it would be more responsible if credit worthiness linked not only to your debt repayment history but also to your total outstanding debt (and income).


Will a deferred student loan on your credit report significantly lower your FICA score?

== == YESSSS!!! THE WORST thing to have on your credit report is an unpaid loan! TRUST ME on this, it took FOREVER to fix this, and even after you pay it off if it was ever defaulted it still stays on your credit for 7 years. Easy now! Though a deferred student loan is "unpaid" it is not a defaulted loan. FICO (not FICA) and most other credit scorers do not disclose how they calculate their scores -- so there's no way to know for sure. A credit score is an assessment of how likely you are to default -- so without any late payments or other outstanding debts, I can't imagine that it would have much of an impact.Ok, I have privacy assist with Bank Of America, and included with that service is a credit score analyzer. What this does is allows you to make changes to your credit report and let the program reanalyze it, and show you your "new" credit score. While it is just an "analyzer" , it has been very accurate in estimating a car loan I recently got. When I ask the analyzer to predict my credit after a student loan of $30,000 with a balance of $30,000, it says that no change would occur. Just FYI

How many months does it take of paying car payments on time to raise your score?

It would depend on the other items in your credit file and how timely you pay those items as well. Your credit score is base on your total payment history. The longer you make your payments on time, the better your score becomes. You can subscribe to a service that notifies you when your score goes up and they are inexpensive. One I know of is www.mycreditinform.com - it so encouraging when you get those messages that it keeps you on track. Good luck...it's a great feeling to get and keep excellent credit!
