Will Shopping the Market Hurt My FICO Scores?

Are you ready to shop for the best deals on a home or auto loan?

While multiple inquiries at one time for your credit report information can theoretically hurt your credit scores, the fact is they probably will not drop too much.  If you are searching for the best interest rates on a home or auto loan, then it's definitely worth shopping rates with at least three different lenders at one time to make sure you get the best rate available.

See What Income-Based Repayment Can Do For You

Are you struggling to keep up with your federal student loan payments? If so, a provision of the 2007 College Cost Reduction And Access Act, known as IBR (Income-Based Repayment), may be just what you've been searching for.

Although the law was passed in 2007, it actually took effect on July 1st of 2009 and is available to anyone with an eligible federal student loan. IBR essentially allows qualified borrowers to restructure student loan payments based on a formula that takes into account two major variables—level of income and the number of family members in their household.
