Credit Questions and Answers

As far as credit go...?

As far as credit goes... If I settle up the remaining balance of my vehicle stale right now, how does that effect my credit rating? Thinking just about buying my first house this year, so if this might have a cynical effect, I would rather use the money for a down fee. Any feedback appreciated! Thanks


Answers: Paying off bills HELPS your credit.

While it is true that in good time payments ALSO help your credit, the smaller amount you have contained by outstanding credit balances is to your benefit.
If you have be paying on the car for sometime and be paying ontime, it will show you paid bad early and own a good history of making payments. By not oweing anything will fashion your debt to income ratio look better. Money comming in and little going out is one of the knob factors surrounded by purchasing a home. I hope you have other chronological credit besides the car loan, because that will assistance also. Try to have at tiniest 5% down payment when your all set even if you don't need that much to purchase. It help to have a short time savings sketch too.

Filed Ch 7 Bankruptcy- How long till I can buy a house a a wearing clothes interest rate?

My Ch 7 Bankruptcy was discharged contained by late November 07. how long till my credit is wearing clothes enough to purchase a house at a clad interest rate? assuming all bills are salaried on time from here on out...??


Answers: In nearly 2 years. I filed Chapter 7 & 2 years after that I had a brandnew home built beside an FHA loan (a) 5.85%. If you do the FHA loan it's all according to what THEIR rate is at the time. I believe you can just get an FHA if you're a 1st time home buyer. You can if truth be told start the proces a little early than 2 years, you'll just hold to make sure that the closing date will be after 2 year since the ruin was in reality finalized. (Keep all your paperwork) Get a upright realtor & explain the situation.

Like you said, just trade name sure you pay your bills prompt. A word of advice through experience... Make sure you coppers your mindset on the way you spend and outlook money. Chapter 7 will erase your debt, but you have to fashion an effort to progress your mind set. After you've re-built your credit, don't go out and carry any more credit. I made the mistake of financing all my furniture once I get my new house... New house + latest start + same mindset = Same place you were past.

10 years
that's how long bk stays on your record
24-months if you travel through F.H.A.

I bought mine 3-years after my BK put no money down and got a 30-yr fixed rate of 6.5%.

As far as a saloon goes, you will be flooded next to opportunities as soon as your BK discharges, at hand are several lenders out there that hold very pious bankruptcy programs.
It is my recognition that as long as during your bankruptcy 'black inscribe on the credit report' time you keep your bill payed on the dot and begin to repair your credit after the liquidation is discharged you should have a better rating. Make sure the 3 national reporting centers enjoy discharged your bankruptcy from your library (they can be slow in updating your files or may not at all unless you bring the update to their attention). Even purely one of them not releasing the bankruptcy will still mess you up. Continue paying everything in good time and I think you should be eligible for clad interest rates if not now---soon. Just necessitate to get that credit mark up a little if it is low. Just mind not to get yourself contained by trouble again trying to repair and up your credit score. That happen so often.

Good luck!
What next to the mortgage meltdown going on, unless you have at tiniest 20% for down payment or you qualify for a VA or FHA loan, your likelihood are a lot lower next to that Chpt 7 on your report.
As to the interest rate you will pay, expect it to be lofty.
Sorry to say, it may be a while.
Usually it's give or take a few 2 years before you can bring back a mortgage. I can't say whether it's a right rate at that point though.

Statute of limitations on debt in alberta?




Answers: The Statute of limitations in Alberta is 7 yeras plus 180 days after last activity in your delinquent account.
I'm in the same boat. I incurred the debt in 1998, when I was eighteen, and paid off the debt in 2001, and now they're contacting me (ten years later) to say that I never paid it off. Whereas I don't have records after 5+ years, much less 7+, I've had to dispute the argument.

As far as I know, the statue of limitations is 7 years, but don't quote me on that. I know that in Ontario it's 2.
