    Improving Credit Score
    I am trying to refinance on a house by July, yet I have a major debt that is over $10,000. This account was in good standing for 6 years. The people I spoke with were not willing to settle a lower payment despite explaining my financial situation. They closed the account unexpectedly after my call . Currently, interest is accruing. I can't afford to pay in full. What are my options in this short span of time to help improve my credit scores given this.

    Hello Rob:

    This isn't going to improve your score. It's going to lower it. They're going to sue you. That's going to make it even lower. If they win a judgment, that's going to lower it even further.

    You need to deal with them. That's going to take some cash.

Someone might have asked this question, but there are so many posts that I couldn't go through them all. My question is: How many points does one's credit score go down, after, let's say a bank or a car dealer check the credit to see if you qualify? :confused: Thanks in advance.
