How Often To Check A Credit Report?


Many people worry about their credit. It is a common concern. In order to qualify for certain loans, having a great credit score is key, so it makes sense that many would wonder about the health of their credit score. Many look to their credit report to try to figure out their credit score. When checking a credit report, this report will not include the credit score.  

When to Check your Credit Report?

However, to see the further information included in a credit report, it is recommended to check this regularly. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau suggests checking this report at least once a year.   

Credit Scores & Home Loans

For those concerned with the quality of their credit scores and how thatwill affect their ability to get a home loan, many question how to fix bad credit for home loans. The steps to fix a credit score include things like paying bills on time, getting help with debt from family or friends, and being careful with new credit. Doing these things should help rebuild a poor credit score and help turn it around.  

Is 580 a Bad Credit Score?

A score of 580 is considered a fair credit score. This is level two out of five. For reference, an exceptional credit score is between 800-850 and a poor credit score is between 300-579. Therefore, a credit score of 580 sits right on the brink between a poor and fair credit score. If one is dissatisfied with their current credit score, they can begin to take action now to repair it.
