Best selling author and the nation’s
leading credit scoring expert asks...
- Mistake #10: Have you borrowed money from a finance company?
- Mistake #19: Have you ever transferred your credit card balance to another credit card in order to get a lower interest rate?
- Mistake #20: Have you ever applied for a department store credit card to get a store discount?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions—then you've made a credit mistake that has decreased your credit scores. When you stop making these mistakes, your credit scores have no choice but to go up and you'll get approved for credit cards, home loans and car loans which you were once declined. Plus, you'll even pay lower interest rates and insurance premiums.
Dear friend,
If you've found your way to this web site, you're obviously concerned about how to get a good credit score.
Maybe you just ordered your credit scores and saw that they're low and want to increase them.
Or you're about to apply for a mortgage or buy a new car and want to raise your credit score so you can make much lower monthly payments than what you're currently being offered.
Or maybe your insurance premiums increased or you were denied insurance (because your credit scores were too low) and are desperate to raise your scores quickly.
Whatever your reason, you're fortunate to have landed on this page.
I'll show you the real secrets on how to change a low credit score into a good credit score that will get you approved for the lowest interest rates and best deals.
My name is Stephen Snyder. And before I learned these credit score secrets, my credit scores were low. To be exact, they were barely over 500. Part of the reason they were so low is because I filed bankruptcy. So you can imagine what a bankruptcy can do to your scores. Not pretty.
But only eight months after I filed bankruptcy, I increased my credit scores to the point where I got two Visa bank cards, a new home mortgage, two new car leases, a small business loan, and more — all at low interest rates from mainstream lenders.
I was so successful in recovering — I wrote a book on the techniques I used to recover from bankruptcy and it sold over 325,000 copies. It's still stocked at most major bookstores even today.
I learned how to increase credit scores and establish good credit the hard way — by experience. What I know about increasing credit scores you won't learn from the credit reporting agencies or a credit counselor. And everything is above board and ethical. So you don't have to worry about doing anything shady.
Shortly after my success, I started giving seminars showing others how to increase their scores. As of May 2005, through my popular seminars, I've shown 154,971 people with low credit scores how to get good credit scores.
And I'm often the "go-to" guy when the media wants accurate information on credit scoring. I've been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Smart Money, The Washington Post, Bloomberg Television, CBS MarketWatch, CNNfn, CNBC, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens and other media outlets.
I don't tell you this to impress you — but to impress upon you that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to building a good credit score.
credit scores?
- 99 of the 100 largest banks in the United States use FICO credit scores
- 49 of the top 50 U.S. credit card issuers use FICO credit scores
- More than 400 insurance companies use FICO credit scores
- Three out of four U.S. mortgage loan originators use FICO credit scores
- 9 of the top 10 retail card issuers in the United States use FICO credit scores
- More than 80 government or public agencies use FICO credit scores
- More than 100 telecommunications carriers use FICO credit scores
How I cracked the credit scoring code
I'm one of the few non-lenders who is trained twice a year by FICO® to learn the intricacies of credit scores. FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation. Bill Fair and Earl Isaac are the two gentlemen who created credit scoring in 1958.
Two to four times a year I fly to Fair Isaac's corporate offices to learn the subtleties and changes of credit scoring.
Between the fee I pay to Fair Isaac and the cost of transportation and lodging, each of these trainings costs me between $10,000 - $15,000. So I'm one of the few experts that puts my money where my mouth is.
In other words, I've paid my dues and I know what I'm talking about. As crazy as this may seem, credit scoring is my life and I'll put my knowledge, expertise and practical experience up against anyone at anytime!
After years of training, I have a thorough understanding of how credit scoring works. I take everything I learn and boil it down to easy to understand bits of information you can take and put into action immediately.
The most important lesson I've learned from Fair Isaac and my personal experience is this...
The surest way to increase your credit scores is
to avoid everyday credit mistakes
A credit mistake is anything you do that decreases your FICO credit score without you realizing it.
For example, did you know...
- …If you close a credit card account—your credit score can go down?
- …When you borrow equity from your home in the form of a home equity line of credit—your credit score may go down?
- …When you're shopping at a department store and the cashier offers you a discount on your purchases if you apply for the store's credit card — if you accept, a credit inquiry will show up on your credit reports and your credit scores might go down?
Low credit scores = higher insurance premiums
Here's a letter that an insurance company sent to a client with a good credit score. It shows exactly what the savings are between the different credit scores.

If you have a low credit score—you’re paying as much as 38% MORE for the exact same insurance as someone with a higher credit score!
It almost doesn't seem fair—does it? But fair has nothing to do with it. If you want to pay less for insurance...pay less for your car payments...pay less for your mortgage payments and save money on all your credit purchases—you need high credit scores. And a sure way to increase your credit score is stop making credit mistakes!
Probably not. Most people don't.
And these are the most obvious three mistakes. I've discovered 35 other mistakes most people make!
Every time you make one of these credit mistakes—your credit scores can go down by as much as 112 points! In fact, my scores went down exactly 112 points recently when I made a credit mistake. I had taken out a home equity line of credit - which made it look like I had much higher revolving debt than I actually did. When I switched it to a home equity LOAN - my credit scores shot back up.
Just one mistake can reduce your credit score to the point where you'll get declined for credit. Or pay outrageously high interest rates if you do get approved.
Paying your bills on time is not enough
Back in the good 'ol days — all you had to do was make sure your bills were paid on time — and odds are — you had good credit.
But times have changed. Today, there are hundreds of factors that contribute to your credit score.
You see, when you apply for credit—there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything.
Do everything right—and your scores go up. But do just one thing wrong—and your scores plummet.
Avoiding credit mistakes is simple
when you know what they are
I just made this part easy for you because I've collected the 38 most common and devastating credit mistakes that cripple FICO credit scores.
And they're all explained in a very easy to read format in my new book, titled: Do You Make
These 38 Mistakes With Your Credit: How increasing your credit scores will improve your
lifestyle.
With a copy of this book, you no longer need to guess on how to increase your credit scores. You can have the answers at your fingertips.
Here's what an executive at Fair Isaac (creators of the credit score) had to say...
Revealed, many for the very first time ever, are strategies that really work. Not only have I used these techniques to increase my own personal credit scores to over 800—but I've shared them with many others who've also raised their credit scores to new highs.
Here's just a small sample of what you'll discover in the book...
- There's a credit card that you haven't used in years. Should you keep it or close the account? Make the wrong choice—and you'll be penalized and your FICO credit scores will be lowered. (Page 21)
- The 4 most important questions to ask a lender before you apply for credit. Ask these questions, and you'll know whether you'll get approved (and at what interest rate) before you fill out even one line on a credit application! (Pages 75-76)
- Why you should never borrow money from a finance company—and it has nothing to do with paying higher interest rates. (Page 19)
- Why you should almost never use a credit union if you want to increase your credit scores. Even if you have a spotless payment history with a credit union—your credit rating may suffer. (Page 13)
- Of course you want the lowest interest rate when you buy a car or home and should shop around for the best rates. But did you know that every time you inquire about a loan - your credit score can drop? Unless you do it the way I show you. Discover the secret on how to shop for the best interest rate—and not kill your FICO credit scores. (Page 15)
- When you open a credit account at a department store—it can make refinancing your mortgage more expensive. The few dollars you save at the store will pale in comparison to the thousands of additional dollars you pay on your mortgage. (Page 39)
- Sometimes getting a major credit card is easier through a credit union—but here's what you must do in order for it to help you with your credit rating. (Page 41)
- Why you should never purchase a consumer credit score directly from Experian's or TransUnion's web site. Even though these credit scores are aggressively marketed by these credit reporting agencies—these scores are meaningless and are not used by any lenders. See which scores you must get and the best places to purchase them. (Page 3)
- The best place to get your credit reports and FICO scores. This guide shows you some of the most popular credit score web sites and what they offer. I also warn you which web sites not to use because they will lower your scores! (Pages 17 & 83)
- The absolute worst thing you can do when trying to increase your FICO credit scores. This one action has the biggest negative impact on your FICO credit scores. Avoid it at all costs! (Page 71)
- The fastest and easiest way to increase your FICO credit scores—do this just once every six months and your FICO credit scores will soar quickly! (Page 49)
- If your lender does this one thing—then it's a sure sign for you to find a different lender. Learn this now before you fall into a trap and get an unnecessary credit inquiry which can lower your FICO credit scores. (Page 76)
- Do this just once a month and it guarantees that your FICO credit scores start to increase—fast! (Page 11)
- Paying off an installment credit account (like a car loan) early is a smart way to build credit—right? Wrong! Why you should never pay off installment loans early when you want to build a good credit history. (Page 43)
- You probably get many offers of "preapproved credit" in the mail— here's how to tell whether you're really preapproved or whether the act of returning the application will lower your FICO credit scores. (Page 63)
- Why your debit card is of absolutely no help when it comes to improving your FICO credit scores. (Page 27)
- Why adding a Consumer Statement to your credit report is a waste of time. Many credit "experts" advise to add a consumer statement to our credit report so you can explain (or add a positive spin) to negative information. Don't do it. Find out why. (Page 65)
If every mistake I just listed saved you just 3 points on your FICO credit scores—by avoiding these mistakes your scores would be at least 51 points higher!
Just 5 points can mean the difference
between putting no money down
on a new house or needing
to put 5% down
An increase of a few points on your FICO score can be the difference between paying 4% interest or 22% interest on a car.
Of these 38 mistakes, I would say at least 36 of them are very simple for you to correct. The remaining two you may need to do a little leg work. I even recommend resources to help you with these two.
But you don't have to take my word on how this book will help you increase your credit scores and improve your credit. See what early readers of the book say...

"What I liked were the simple and practical tips to use and/or avoid to improve your scores. The world of improving FICO credit scores has some of it's own mysteries that need experts like you to reveal to the rest of us."
"I started reading it, and couldn't put it down. I have begun telling others to go out and buy it. You have given me much hope."
