Frequently Asked Questions
 

How does our credit score affect our daily life?

Credit scores affect our lives on several levels. The lower your credit score, the more you pay for mortgages, loans, credit cards, and insurance. Conversely, the better your credit score, the more favorable terms you will get on interest rates and premiums. Credit scores can affect your ability to obtain employment, rent an apartment and may affect your ability to obtain utility services such as gas, electric, and phone. Much of the information retained in the credit reporting agency is obsolete, erroneous, inaccurate or otherwise removable because is it unverifiable. With the right strategy it is possible to remove many negative items from a credit report, if the creditor does not adhere to the law that outlines what needs to be done on a timely basis.


What is credit counseling and how does it work?


Contrary to what the credit bureaus would like you to believe, credit counseling does work and can work for 100% of people in most circumstances. This is, of course, provided you are getting the best advice and have an experienced professional working on your case. Anyone with a credit score below 720 can benefit long-term from the advice and information provided through credit counseling. AppleTree Credit Experts can rehabilitate your credit by providing assistance to individuals in (a) obtaining clarification and correction of obsolete, erroneous, incomplete, inaccurate, outdated or unverifiable information which may be contained in credit reports; and, (b) creating a customized strategy for each client to enhance their credit scores. Again, with the right strategy scores can be substantially increased.


How much money can I save by raising my credit score?

As an example, a person with an average credit score of 580 can secure a mortgage of $300,000 at an interest rate of 8.7%. This results in a payment of $2529 per month. A person with a credit score of 700 can obtain the same mortgage at an interest rate of 6.375% resulting in a payment of $2051 per month. This is a monthly savings of $477 and a total savings of $171,998 over the 30 year life of the loan. In addition to the home mortgage savings there will be savings in credit card payments, car loans, other installment loans, and insurance rates.

How do we do it?

It is your right by law (Fair Credit Reporting Act) to dispute questionable errors on your credit report.  We consult clients on how to remove in-accurate errors, unverifiable, mixed information, obsolete items, incorrect personal info, and incomplete items.  Through our counseling we can help clients negotiate with the creditors to settle.  If an agency cannot verify the accuracy of a disputed error, then it must be removed from the credit report


How much will my credit score improve?

It varies from clients, positive scores are generated faster if client have more good standing accounts history and credit limit to credit balance ratio is lower on active accounts.  If less good standing accounts the score will generate at a slower pace.  Once rehabilitation is completed, client can easier qualify for new accounts that will help boost up score if credit balance is kept to a minimum and paid on time.

Will removed errors re-appear in the future?
