Debt Views

Many people begin their quest to restore their credit after seeing a free credit report. Mortgage companies will give you a free credit report when you’re trying to apply for a mortgage, or you may have pulled your free credit report from a website.

Mortgage company credit reports include a lot of codes and information that even loan officers don’t understand. It is difficult to dispute from these reports because the comments that creditors leave are typically hidden within that code of numbers, and loan officers only know what a few of those codes mean.

Free credit reports are sponsored by any one of the credit bureaus and typically only include one credit report. Also, if a credit score is available, it is usually not the correct credit score, and the title of the credit score is hidden. These bias credit reports also do not always post your most up to date information, and hidden negative accounts can pop up on your reports after you delete the negative items that do show.

FICO scores are credit scores that are tabulated by a third party company outside of the three credit bureaus called Fair, Isaac Corporation. They are located in California. FICO creates the widest used method of determining credit scores that any lender, funder or creditor will use to determine your credit worthiness.
