New consumer-friendly changes to the FICO formula could bump your credit score, making it easier to obtain mortgage financing

giving less weight to unpaid medical bills that are with a collection agency.

A FICO score is a three-digit number – on a scale between 300 and 850 points – that is generated using a mathematical algorithm against the credit data found in your credit report, says Anthony Sprauve, senior consumer credit specialist with FICO, based in San Rafael, California. Sprauve says the new FICO changes will benefit consumers by helping lenders assess their creditworthiness more accurately. mart borrowers know that a “The next version of the FICO score, higher credit score can help called FICO Score 9, will bypass all them qualify for more desirable paid collections and will be able to loans and lower interest rates. Now, distinguish between unpaid medical the credit score most valued and used and unpaid non-medical collection by lenders – your FICO score – is due accounts,” Sprauve says. “Consumto be recalibrated, making it easier for ers with clean credit histories where more Americans to obtain financing, the only negative is an unpaid medical including mortgage loans. debt collection could see their FICO The Fair Isaac Corp. recently anscore rise 25 points.” nounced that, beginning this autumn, The bottom line: Many will now it will revamp its method for calculatbe able to afford more house for the ing credit scores, including dismissing same monthly payment or pay less per records of late bill payments, which month in mortgage payments, says Lee can negatively affect a consumer’s Gimpel, co-developer of the financial score, if those debts have been paid or education tool The Good Credit Game, who’s based in Wilmington, North resolved with a collection agency and

Carolina.

“An increase in your credit score may get you into the range where you can now be approved for a mortgage, if you were in a bad credit range previously. It also means that some people who already would have qualified for a mortgage will now qualify for a lower rate,” says Gimpel.

Gimpel notes that, while the forthcoming FICO recalibration may slightly increase your score automatically, there are other steps you can take to further augment your score.

“First, you need to play to win. That means you need to use credit to have good credit,” he says. Of course, pay your credit card bill on time and in full, if possible. Gimpel also recommends not using more than 30 percent of your available credit, which can bring down your score.

Lastly, don’t jump from card to card.

It can be tempting, for example, to sign up for a free airline miles card, earn the rewards, close the card and then apply for another rewards card. But opening and closing too many cards can damage your score. “A card with three years of history will help you

more than one with three months of history,” Gimpel adds.

While FICO Score 9 will be available to lenders later this year, be aware that it may take longer before lenders adopt the new model.

“Lenders need to first evaluate whether the scoring helps their portfolio or if it works, and this could be a slow process,” says Yael Ishakis, vice president and loan officer at First Meridian Mortgage in Brooklyn, New York.

“The real change will occur when Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac insist that lenders run a borrower’s credit through the FICO Score 9 model.”

Sprauve notes that consumers can purchase their FICO score at myFico. com or receive it for free if their lender participates in the FICO Score Open Access program. Currently, Barclaycard, First Bankcard, Discover card, Hyundai Motor Finance and Kia Motor Finance, PenFed, SECU and Sallie Mae are making free FICO scores available to their customers through this program.

Uh, What Credit Card?

One reason for the lack of credit card-swiping young adults is the new difficulty in obtaining a card because of post-financial collapse legislation, such as the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act. An April Gallup poll found that since the Great Recession Americans overall are relying less on credit cards. Having come of age during the economic downturn may be part of why the younger generation is proving more creditaverse.

Millennials who do use cards, though, are less likely than other ften, the first step to building a groups to pay their balance in full (43 credit history is obtaining — and percent, compared to 53 percent of using — a credit card. Yet, some adults 30+); 3 percent admit to often of the youngest American consumers missing payments. are skipping that step.

Tap Retirement To Buy? Question: We have saved money in retirement accounts, and the return in recent years has pretty much been zero. We now want to take money from these accounts to buy a home. Are we allowed to make such withdrawals, and will lenders allow us to use such funds for a down payment and closing costs?

Q&A

Answer: As far as lenders are concerned a retirement account is simply a form of savings, one that is easy to document.

Financially, it might make a lot of sense to use retirement dollars to acquire a home. Think about it this way: If you take $20,000 from a retirement account to purchase a home, it means the amount you need to borrow is reduced by $20,000. At today’s interest rate, about 4.2 percent at this writing for 30-year fixed-rate financing, not borrowing an additional $20,000 saves around $840 in interest.

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

That said, it may be neither easy nor desirable to tap into retirement money.

Before looking at homes, find out if you have the right to withdraw funds from your account. Is there a limit on the amount you can withdraw? How long does it take to get the money?

How will your withdrawal be treated for tax purposes? Will you have to pay a penalty? For specifics regarding these and other questions speak with your financial adviser and a tax professional.

Now could be the time to sell a new home and earn a slice of the real estate pie.

Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people.

“When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.
