Refinance a Mortgage with Bad Credit
3
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on
    citizens financial stability, with many missing
    mortgage installments and even facing
    foreclosure. If you are in this unfortunate boat,
    you may have heard about  mortgage
    refinancing options available from most financial
    institutions and federal and state organizations.
  • For those with good credit scores, this is a very
    viable relief option on the other hand, if you
    have a bad credit score, refinancing your home
    may be a bit more complicated. The good news is
    that it is certainly not impossible, and you can
    even boost your credit score in the process.

Do you have a bad credit score?
  • Your credit score is primarily affected by how
    good you are at paying your bills. If you pay the
    full amount of your bills and repayments
    regularly, then your credit score should be high,
    or sound. If you default on these payments
    regularly, your score will be low, or bad.
  • According to Investopedia, credit scores are
    composed of five distinct factors, and improving
    any of these will boost your credit score

5
  • Payment history (35)
  • Credit usage (30)
  • Age of credit accounts (15)
  • Credit mix (10)
  • New credit inquiries (10)
  • Most creditors use the FICO scoring system to
    calculate credit scores. A terrible credit score
    will dwell between 300 500 (with 300 being the
    lowest), while a good credit score will fall
    within the 750-850 range (with 850 being the
    highest). Anything in-between will vary from fair
    to good in terms of credit scores (Source).

Why is a low credit score terrible for
refinancing your mortgage?
  • Financial institutions use your credit score as
    well as your credit history to calculate the risk
    involved with lending you money. Unfortunately, a
    bad or low credit score, as a result of years of
    late payments and loan defaults,will not bode
    well for you.Therefore, a bad credit score will
    affect the creditors choice to refinance your
    loan in the first place, as you may be too high a
    risk.

  • If you manage to find a creditor that will
    refinance you with a bad credit score, you may
    face terrible interest rates, which will cost you
    more money in the end. The image below shows the
    estimated interest rate for a range of credit
    scores based on the national average of a
    300,000 loan amount over 30 years.

  • Refinancing your loan may not be the most
    lucrative option for you, depending on your
    situation. You should look at your other options
    and make a calculated choice based on what will
    save you more money.

How can you improve or increase your credit
score?
  • Luckily, boosting your credit score is not very
    difficult, and a few simple steps can head you in
    the right direction. As a bonus, the results can
    show within a couple of months, with a
    significant difference visible in a year. How
    drastically you will increase your credit score
    will, however, depend on how bad your score is.
  • To get started on fixing your credit score, have
    a look at the tips below.

9
  • 1. Review your credit scores
  • This strategy will help you understand what
    financial behaviors are hurting or improving your
    credit score. You can pull a copy of your annual
    credit report,free, once a year through
    the Annual Credit Report website. Watch out for
    things that you should avoid, but also for
    potential errors that may be lowering your
    credit.Please make a note of the behaviors that
    are boosting your credit score, and make sure to
    copy them.

  • 2. Pay those bills
  • From the FICO credit score breakdown shown above,
    you can see that payment usage and credit history
    affect more than 60 of your credit score. If you
    can improve these, you can significantly increase
    your credit score.
  • For example, paying off any loan, such as a
    student or car loan, will help to fix your credit
    score, even if you do not have large amounts left
    to repay on these loans. If you are missing
    payments due to forgetfulness, try to set
    electronic reminders or automatic bill payments
    from your bank account.

  • 3. Aim for less than 30 credit utilization
  • This issue refers to the portion of your
    allowable credit on the credit card that you are
    using at any one time. So if you can have an
    overdraft of 10 000 on your credit card, you
    should not be using more than 3,000 per month.
  • The best way to keep this number low is to make
    sure to repay your credit card in full every
    month. Requesting a credit limit increase can
    also help with this, since it could improve your
    credit score, as long as your balance does not
    increase as well.

12
  • 4. Limit hard credit inquiries
  • Every time you request a new loan, whether it be
    a home loan, auto loan, or cash, from an
    institution you are not currently doing business
    with, a hard inquiry into your credit score is
    launched. If you have several hard inquiries per
    year, institutions can take this as you
    struggling to cope financially, and it will
    negatively affect your credit score.
  • Try to avoid these, by not applying for loans, or
    applying for loans from your current creditors,
    while you are trying to increase your credit
    score.

  • 5. Get your taxes in order
  • If you are paying your taxes with a credit card
    or are behind on paying your taxes, it can
    negatively affect your credit score. The best way
    to remedy this is to get in touch with a
    professional tax consultant at Taxes R Us. Our
    professional consultants can help you get your
    taxes up to date to help fix your credit score.
  • If you are facing foreclosure with a bad credit
    score, know that there are plenty of options
    available for you. Some of these may be more
    lucrative than others, and some may even help you
    increase your credit score.Contact
