I have been trying to purchase a home for the last 5 months with a terrible credit history. My scores started out very low ranging from 478-558. I have since boosted my scores up to 601. My husband and I both have the same type of scores and want to know what the best way to improve our scores will be?. I have one credit card and we each have a joint auto loan in our names which is good. I only have two positive items on my credit report everything else has a zero balance but remains on my report until it falls off. What should I do to improve my scores? Will the purchase of our home improve our scores?
Hi and welcome to myFICO forums! Seeing your questions are more about improving your scores, I'm going to move your thread to the General Credit Issues forum.
