It's easy to get some things wrong when it comes to your credit score. Some mistakes are so detrimental; you'd never want to appear on your credit score score. Since future lenders and lenders use your credit score score to make decisions about you, there are some things you'd never want to show up on your review.
1. Charge-offs
Missing your payments for 6 months or more could cause your lenders to deem your profile as uncollectible. When this happens, the lender writes off the profile and updates your credit score score as "charged-off" or "written off and uncollectible." Charged-off accounts continue to be on your credit score score for seven decades.
2. Debts collections
Not only will lenders charge-off your profile after a period of non-payment, they may also hire a third-party collector to attempt to collect transaction from you. Your credit score score may or may not be updated to reflect a collection status. Sometimes the collector places an entry on your credit score score or the original lender places a note on your review indicating the profile is in collection status.
3. Bankruptcy
Filing bankruptcy allows you to legally remove liability for some or all of your debts, depending on the type of bankruptcy you file. Your credit score score will reflect each of the accounts you included in your bankruptcy. Even though the bankruptcy information will continue to be on your credit score score for seven to 10 decades, you can sometimes begin rebuilding your credit score soon after your debts have been discharged.
4. Foreclosure
If you default on your home loan, your lender will repossess your home and auction it off to recover the amount of the house loan. This process is known as foreclosures. When your home is foreclosed it can severely damage your credit score, limiting your ability to obtain new credit score in the future. A foreclosures will continue to be on your credit score score for seven decades.
5. Tax liens
When you don't pay property taxes on your home or another piece of property, the government can seize the property and auction it off for the unpaid taxes. Even if your home is foreclosed because of a tax lien, you are still responsible for the house loan. Non-payment of the house loan will also hurt your credit score. Unpaid tax liens continue to be on your credit score score for 15 decades, while paid tax liens continue to be for 10.
6. Lawsuits or judgments
Some lenders may take you to court and sue you for a debt, if other selections fail. If the lawsuit is accurate and a judgment is entered against you, it will continue to be on your credit score score for 7 decades from the date of filing, even after you satisfy the judgment.
