Tips for Raising Your Credit Score Fast

If you are planning for buying a house or a new car and your current credit score is troubling your mind, then there is no need to worry as there still are ways of raising credit score fast. You don’t have to wait for years to improve your score. Here are some tips which can really help you clean your credit history within 30-60 days so that you can qualify for better loan where you can reap the benefits of low interest.

First advice on how to clean credit report is to pay down balances on your credit cards. Next is never to use your entire credit line each month as it will plunge your score. It is suggested to keep your balances below 30% of your credit limit. The next very important factor to be considered is to check if your credit report is reporting your credit limits correctly for your cards? Incase not then call the issuer of your credit card for updating the status. It is highly suggested not to use those credit cards in which your credit limit is not reported as it will make you appear as you are maxed out. One way of dramatically increasing the credit score is by asking you family member or trusted friend to add you as an authorized user to one of their old cards. If you have been a great customer for number of years but had missed a payment due to adverse circumstances, you can always request your creditor for erasing the negative marks by writing a goodwill letter. There is also a method called ‘pay for delete’ where you can make a deal with collection agency for removing a debt from your report if you pay it. This method works well for the amount of $500 and below. Not to cancel you unused credit card accounts as it can lower your score. Last but most important always pay your bills on time. Just remember if your account goes to collection agency then that blot remains on your credit report for whole seven years.

Well having said that, I want to say in the end that unless and until you have serious black marks such as foreclosure or bankruptcy on your credit report, you can very easily rebuild credit fast with above mentioned tips in 1 to 2 months.

Treat Your Lawn Right with Scotts Snap Spreader System

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Scotts® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Depending on where you live most of the snow and ice has likely melted off. Spring is finally here the tulips are blooming and your lawn likely looks like a disaster. It’s that time to get the rakes and fertilizer out of the garage. If you’re like many people you’ll be heading to the hardware store to purchase some lawn fertilizer. I just purchased the new Scotts® Snap® Spreader System . In the past I typically went out and bought the cheap bags of fertilizer and spread with a butter container. This year I wanted to invest in my lawn and I am very pleased with this product.  It took me just under an hour to spread my entire lawn. It use to take me about 2 1/2 hours and it was a stressful process.

The slogan is Snap, Lock, Go and Store and really it is that simple. You snap the Pac onto the spreader flip the switch and it is now locked in place. You’re ready to go, Snap Pac’s come in a variety of lawn treatments including fertilizer weed and feed, southern weed and feed and specialized fertilizer with crabgrass preventer.  The best thing about this entire system for me was the fact the bags are re-sealable and easily stored. No more half open bags, no more lugging bags around the lawn.  

Bring out the best in your lawn, have the greenest fullest lawn in the neighborhood using this great new product. When I purchased mine I also received an advertisement flyer inviting me to join the Snap perks on Facebook page. If you visit you will receive special perks and be entered to win prizes. Visit their facebook page today and you can find out more details about the Scotts Snap Spreader System. Be sure to click the ‘Like” button.

Could Facebook Protect Your Facebook Account?

There’s reports that facebook could be protecting your rights where you don’t have to provide your potential or existing employer access – username and password.

Most facebook users protect their questionable material from public view, but many just leave it public, having the employee account info would ensure access to everything on that users profile.

So what are employers looking for ?

Is it disparaging remarks about the company, your propensity to have questionable content?

 

Erin Egan, Facebook’s Chief Privacy Officer on Policy, suggests facebook is looking into new laws to protect users from violations of their privacy.

Stay tuned

In the meantime read the facebook privacy blog
