Here is how it works: The broker or loan officer will call the credit score provider and request that one of their experts review the credit report. Sometimes the borrower may also be included in a conference call. The analyst at the credit report provider gives his or her expert advice on what specific steps the borrower can take in order to raise his or her FICO. Recommended actions could include a borrower paying down credit card balances to a certain level or getting letters from collection agencies that show the debt has been paid.

Once the borrower has completed his or her part of the arrangement, the credit score provider will perform the Rapid Rescore. Most providers charge a fee for this, usually around $100 for all three credit bureaus. The Rapid Rescore takes about three days and the results are usually very positive. At times, the Rapid Rescore can make all the difference in qualifying for a low interest rate. Normally, if you take steps to improve your credit score, it can take at least a month (and often longer) to have any actions you take to be reflected on your credit report. Before your score is recalculated, negative items on your credit report could cause you to be turned down for a low interest loan. It could also result in your being approved for a loan, but getting a loan with a higher interest rate. Over the course of your loan, a higher interest rate could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

hmmmm i have a loan with US DEPT of ED it has a 150 late, two 120 lates, two 90 lates, as well as a 60 late.. i sent them a copy of my CR and they agreed to erase all the lates because it is an error. However they said it could take up to 30 days for the removal of lates. Could a rapid rescore work for this??

Pay this card down to <9% immediately. After the payment has posted, have your lender include the CC in their rapid rescore. You should see a pretty significant increase by lowering utilization from 34% to <9%. There are generally two plateaus where score changes are noticeable, <30% and <10%. You will be going under both of those. Best of luck with your new house!
