How I was able to Increase my Credit Score to buy my Dream home!

I was able to increase my credit score over the time of a few months by using a service called RentReporters.  Overall my score went from 642 to 800!

This in turn saved me a lot of money on my mortgage for my dream home that has a 500k mortgage.

Without further ado here is how RentReporters works and how it helped me:

RentReporters will report your rental history to the credit bureaus which in turn increases your credit score.  I have been renting the past 5 years and they verified with my landlord that I made on time payments for the last 5 years.  They then were able to add it to my credit report as an entry.  I been very happy since I was able to save quite a bit on my interest rate and I did not have to put much effort at all!

You can see my the results of my experience below:

Below is the entry they added to my credit report:
