Strategies For Credit Scores From Contact Kate: Kate, My question is about my husband's credit score vs. my credit score. My husband has worked really hard on getting his credit score up to par, but before we were married, I had some bad debts on my score, and I'm just wondering what will happen when we try to buy a house.

Whether a mortgage lender will allow your husband to buy a home separately depends in part on which state the home is located in and also where you both live. So be sure to ask.

Good Tip on Closing Accounts
by: Melissa

These are great tips from your "Fix a Credit Score" page that I wish I had known about before it was too late.

Tip 1: Do not cut up credit cards after paying them off - paid accounts improve and fix a credit score

Tip 2: Do not close old accounts - a seasoned credit history will improve and fix a credit score

In an effort to keep myself from getting too far in debt, I closed some higher interest accounts that I was afraid I would be tempted to use. They have high available credit allowances also. Now, I've read that keeping those cards would have served a better purpose in keeping my credit score higher.

My available credit would have been higher, had I kept those accounts. I think this is supposed to increase scores a bit. I thought I was helping myself, when I was actually hurting myself.
