Free credit report
Credit re-score | "rapid rescoring"

Free credit report is available.  Choice Finance® has the ability to pull your credit for free when you are a client we are approving for a loan.  This is a Mortgage Credit Report and is different then what you can get for free directly through the 3 major bureaus.  No mortgage lender can use anything but this Mortgage Credit Report for underwriting your loan.


"I want a free credit report, but I'm not looking to get a loan"
As stated on the Federal Trade Commission's website; "The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. The three companies have set up one central website, toll-free telephone number, and mailing address through which you can order your free credit report.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, wants you to know that, if you want to order your free annual credit report online, there is only one authorized website: annualcreditreport.com

Once you are in the site you can choose to order through 1 of the 3 bureaus; Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.  Each bureau must give you a free credit report every year at your request.  If you'd like to see your credit for FREE every 4 months, don't pull all 3 bureaus right away.  Stagger them so you pull Equifax, then in 4 months Experian, then in 4 months Transunion.  When it's time to pull Equifax again you will be eligible for another free one because a full year has passed.

 

Before you pull your Mortgage Credit Report
We never authorize the sale of your personal information without your permission.  Believe it or not, anytime you have your credit pulled, the major bureaus actually sell your info so that you may be solicited.  You become a lead called a "mortgage trigger", and many companies are willing to pay top dollar to get your information. 
There is a way to stop the credit bureaus from selling your information. 

To protect yourself and stop the numerous unsolicited offers of credit and insurance (think of all the junk mail you'll stop getting!), go to optoutprescreen.com today.  You can register online and stop it for the next 5 years.  Also register at donotcall.gov, to stop annoying sales calls to your home.  Make sure you report any phone solicitors if they still call you.  Read more about protecting yourself when applying for a mortgage.

 

 

Rapid Re-score
If you would like to correct any information on your credit report, talk about doing a credit re-score, also known as "rapid rescoring", with your Choice Finance® Loan Officer.  This way your Loan Officer and you can put a gameplan in place so you may buy a home or refinance in the near future.

A re-score has the ability to raise your 3 bureaus within 72 hours.  We have helped many borrowers with this, and as a result they obtained a better interest rate.  We have seen the results of this rescoring save clients hundreds on their monthly mortgage payment.  Pull your initial report through Choice Finance®.  This way your Loan Officer can use that report to run it through our built-in credit analyzer.  We'll give you an easy to read road map to raise your scores.  We will describe exactly what action is needed, and how many more points you will raise your scores for performing each action.  If you only need a few points, perform one or two of the steps...  if you want to maximize your score, do them all.  Imagine the possibilities when we show you how to raise 15, 20, even 30 more points to your current fico credit score... in 72 hours.

It is important to note that a re-score will help you when there is incorrect information.  Only time can help raise your scores if you really do have bad credit.  After paying off any liens, judgments, etc..  only paying your bills every month before they are due will bring your scores up slowly over time.  The credit bureaus want to see a history of good credit before they award you the higher scores (more on improving your scores).  If you have bad credit, we will be happy to write out a detailed game-plan for you to get on track in the near future.  Follow this plan and you will be approvable for the best interest rates available and/or no money down programs.  We will work hard on your home purchase or refinance, and look forward to earning your business.
