By-Passing a Bi-Weekly Mortgage

Due to a new law, consumers can find out what their formerly secret credit score is. The score is what determines the type of loan product and terms consumers receive.
eLoan; free credit score reports
Equifax; Credit score reports for $12.95
MyFICO; Credit score reports for $12.95
Experian; Credit score reports coming soon online
Request a copy of your credit report and credit score in advance of any major purchase. Buying a home? Get your report and score at least four to six months in advance; one month for new or used car purchases. This advance time will permit you to clean up errors before its pulled again by loan companies.
