How to Improve Your Credit Score

Improving your credit score takes time and consistent effort, much like nurturing a plant to full bloom. A better credit score can enhance your car finance options and improve other aspects of financial well-being. Here are some actionable steps to help you gradually increase your credit score:

Join the Electoral Roll

Registering to vote links your identity to your address, which can strengthen your credit profile. This simple step reassures lenders of your stability and reliability.

Make Timely Bill Payments

Ensure you pay all your bills, such as utilities, mobile contracts, and credit cards, by their due date. Late or missed payments can negatively impact your credit score, so setting up automatic payments or reminders can be beneficial.

Reduce Outstanding Debts

Aim to pay down existing debts where possible. Reducing what you owe compared to your credit limits (known as credit utilisation) can help improve your score. Keeping utilization under 30% is a general good practice.

Consider Credit Builder Cards

These cards are designed to help those with no credit or poor credit. If used responsibly by paying off the full balance each month, they can demonstrate your capability to manage credit and can slowly boost your score.

Check Your Credit Report Regularly

Obtain a copy of your credit report from major credit reference agencies to ensure all the information is accurate. Correct any errors you find, as they may be affecting your score.

Limit Applications for New Credit

Each time you apply for credit, a hard inquiry may be made on your report, which can slightly reduce your score. Try to limit how often you apply for new credit and only when necessary.

Build a Solid Credit History

Keeping older accounts open can help lengthen your credit history, which is a positive factor in your credit score. Closing old accounts can decrease your average account age and potentially impact your score.
