One great way to repair or build credit fast is to get a secured VISA or MasterCard. A secured credit card is one in which you open up a savings account with the card issuing bank. This savings account is used as a security deposit for your credit card. Your credit limit is based on the amount that you deposit into the savings account. Once you have established a good record of payments on the credit card, the savings account funds are returned to you. Only use this secured credit card for gas or a few small purchases each month. When you get your bill, pay it immediately but overpay it by about $10 - $15. That way you always have a negative balance. The FICO system accelerates your credit rating quickly by doing this. Just make sure that you NEVER are late on making that payment. This method worked very well for me when I had very bad credit. After receiving my secured credit card, it took about 8 months before I was receiving pre-approved non secured VISA and MasterCard offers from large banks.

What is the difference between a mortgage credit score and a regular credit score?
If I understand the question correctly, the answer is that they may be using different versions of the FICO software. The FICO score you get from myfico.com and the FICO score that a mortgage lender comes up with may be different, because Fair Isaac periodically updates the way they come up with the scores. Upgrading to the new FICO software can be expensive for lenders, so sometimes they don't do it. So they come up with a different score because they are using an older model. Since presumably the model is updated to make it more predictive, it means the lender's score is more likely to be wrong. As far as I know, however, the lender will continue to use its own score, and there is nothing you can do about this.

FICO Score?
Your FICO score, also known as your credit score, has much to say about you. It can control your financial destiny. Whether you’re able to qualify to finance a car, mortgage a home, or even qualify for monthly billing with your utility companies can be dictated by your FICO score. With all that’s at stake it’s important to understand what goes into computing your individual score and how you can best manage it. While the exact algorithm for calculating FICO scores is a closely guarded secret, FICO (formerly known as the Fair Isaac Corporation) has disclosed the components to the score. They are as follows: 35%: Payment history 30%: Credit utilization 15%: Length of credit history 10%: Types of credit 10%: Recent searches for credit If you want to vitally increase your credit score I highly recommend concentrating on the first two areas. Together these two components have the highest weighted impact on your overall score. So let’s delve into what is meant by payment history and credit utilization. Payment history is simple to understand. Did you pay your bills? Did you pay them on time? That’s pretty much all there is to it. If you want to improve your credit start paying all your bills and debt payments on time. Most people who end up with a less-than-favorable FICO score do so because of late payments. Credit Utilization is a fancy way of saying that FICO is looking at how much of your available “revolving debt” you’re using. They look at the ratio of how much of your available lines of credit you’re carrying as debt. If you have a $10,000 line of credit or a credit card limit, and you’re only carrying a balance of $3,000, your credit utilization ratio will be much favorable than someone with the same limit carrying an $8,000 balance. The best way to have a better FICO score: pay all your bills and debt payments on time, and carry a relatively small balance compared to your available credit limit.
How fast and how many points can you add on your credit score?
