How to improve your credit history to finance your home?

Most of the economic and financial goals that we want to achieve can only be achieved when a loan is approved in a formal financial institution. Such is the case of mortgage loans. In order to get a loan of this type, there are several factors that are taken into account. The most important? Improve your credit history.

When we begin to have more experience with the financial world, we realize the importance of making good decisions and increasing our financial intelligence, to opt for products and opportunities that fit the short and long-term goals we have.

What is credit history?

This is your financial identity, your letter of introduction to the banks, in search of their trust. This diagnosis allows you to know to what extent you can get into debt and how responsible you have been in other commitments to service institutions or to the bank itself.

This is measured through numbers and various factors intervene to determine it:

  1. Your payment history: how responsible you have been with payments on previous occasions, payments on the indicated dates or late payments are measured.
  2. Use of credit: when you obtain an amount of credit authorized by the bank, it is important to remember that you should not use it in its entirety and much less expect to generate delinquencies to make payments. Banks always measure how you use your credits.
  3. Seniority: an element that allows the bank to see your financial behavior over the years, the longer you have been fulfilling your commitments, the more reliable or trustworthy you appear before the financial body.

What is a good credit history?

It is a score that represents and certifies your reliability with the bank. To be honest, loans are a bet of the bank towards us, therefore, we must build the foundations of trust with actions that exhibit our commitment to the payment of each of our loans and credits. The better your credit score, the better for you and the better for the bank will be to lend you the necessary money.

In the case of mortgage loans, other elements are also observed to verify your purchasing power and a projection of payments on time, both interest and principal.

Steps to improve your credit history

The first thing you should do is check the current state in which you appear in the credit bureau or the status of your credit history. You do this by requesting to see your history virtually in the 3 institutions that are dedicated to keeping accounts of your credit movements, assigning them letters according to their reliability, with A being the best score and F the worst possible score. Check the process on the PRO-USER platform of the Superintendency of Banks here.

The second thing is to make a commitment to pay on time. Gone are the days when not paying your drinking water bill does not affect you at all, today, as a responsible consumer you must pay all your bills on time, with the amounts requested. We recommend that you request assistance from your bank so that fixed bills can be deducted from your savings account or checking account, on specific dates, so you will not have future complications.

The third thing is to have the management of your credit accounts pending. In the eyes of a financial institution, you seem to be more responsible if you only have one card that you keep with an impeccable history, than 10 different ones, all with arrears.

Fourth, do not assume debt commitments that exceed your ability to pay. If you know that obtaining financing for several household appliances at the same time jeopardizes your stability or the ability you have to pay for it with your fixed income, it is best not to expose yourself, and postpone these purchases. Remember that the most important thing is your stability, to be able to obtain a mortgage loan later.
