Beginning loan process. I need help, I'm young.

Re: Beginning loan process. I need help, I'm young.

If all of your cards are reporting at $0, you will get a substantial scoring penalty.  Best is to have most of your cards reporting $0 but with one card reporting a small amount, like $10-20.

I kept my balances at around $10-20 a month, have one collection left, and my scores jumped by nearly 30 points a piece.

We just closed on our house today and got the lowest rate offered at 3.75%. 

 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
