📌 Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I improve my credit score?
Paying down credit card debt below 30% utilization can raise your score 20–50 points in 30 days. Disputing errors can show results in 45 days.
Does checking my credit score hurt it?
No. Checking your own score (soft inquiry) has zero impact. Only hard inquiries from lenders — when you apply for credit — temporarily lower your score by 5–10 points.
What credit score is needed for a mortgage?
Conventional loans require 620+. FHA loans accept 580+ with 3.5% down. A score above 740 gets you the best mortgage rates, saving tens of thousands over the loan life.
