With the recent news of the three largest credit-reporting firms – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion –overhauling their reporting and error resolution practices more potential homebuyers are working on dusting off their credit reports to obtain financing for a home loan. Many of these new credit reporting changes will be implemented on a national basis roughly over the next three years. So here are 5 credit boosting hacks for buying a home.
- Don’t close your credit card accounts, because then you’ll be using a higher percentage of your overall credit limit.

- If you have any collections or judgments against you, pay them off as quickly as possible.
- Pay all your bills on time by utilizing payment reminders or automatic bill pay options.
- Try to reduce your credit card debt to twenty-five percent or less of your credit line on each card.
