When I had such a credit score I was able to get a low APR credit card that let me save on purchases. The more money I saved and the more accurate I was with my payments, the faster my credit score rose.
Try it and I guess you'd suceed!
700 is almost perfect. It would be nearly futile to try to improve it.
try challenging negative remarks on your credit this worked for me and alot of things were removed, but beware if the creditor is let's say not so forgiving they can make it look as if the debt is more recent then it is and therefore make your credit look worse.
A foreclosure will substantially reduce your credit score in the short term and will remain on your credit for 7 years. If you do not get into credit shock after a foreclosure and continue to add good credit to your profile, e.g. secure credit card and pay other bills in a time--you will see that it will not have as much affect on your score in about 24 to 36 months. Creditors are concern about what you have done in the last 24 months. Your credit score is rating in the following many: Your payment history is 35% of your score and the amount owed is 30%, the length of time you have your credit is 15%, so the older is the better, the type of credit is 10%, and new credit is 10%. It is best that you keep this in mind and do not continue to improve your credit after a foreclosure.
The short answer is no. It may affect the amount of the loan allowed to be taken out with the company. (The worse the credit score, the lower the amount that will be allowed.) All clients have an active checking account for any loan granted to be deposited into.
Do forbearance payment affect credit score? Also, if your lenders agree to a short sale and you have not been deliquent on your payments but the lender granted you a forbearance, will your credit score be affected?

A short sale can have a negative impact on your credit score because it indicates that you were not able to repay the full amount of the mortgage. It may lower your credit score by several points, depending on your current score and credit history. However, the impact may be less severe than a foreclosure.

You can't drastically change your credit score in a short amount of time. I mean you could try to repay your debt; however, try to pay it back all at once because if you pay old debts back then it will look like you have worse credit score.

To improve one's credit score one can take a number of steps. First, pay off credit card and other short-term debts. Make sure payments on long-term loans are always paid on time. This shows one is able to manage one's finances.
In short, not likely. Almost no mortgage company will give you a loan without checking your credit score. Your best bet is to focus on improving your credit score. They are many ways to do this, some methods that can be done in fairly short period of time.
There is no set credit score. It depends on the bank and your credit history. Some banks do not allow you to get a loan within 2 years of a short sale. Thanks for using answers.com!
You can apply for many credit cards at the same time, however, that may not be the best idea. Some experts suggest applying for a large amount, or multiple amounts of credit in a short period of time may make you appear "desperate" for cash flow, thus lowering your credit score. It's much better to wait 6 months to a year before applying again. Overall, your credit rating will improve if you have a lot of credit available to you, but use very little of it.
You need to try to improve your credit. Start by paying off any debt in order to get your credit score up. Also, start saving up for a down payment. Then, look in your area for short sales. Mortgage companies are more willing to finance you if you improve your credit score and have a small down payment. You must have patience and make best of your situation. Don't give up! =)
