Many major lenders look for about 680 or higher, but there are options below that. We'll explain what's possible at your score.

Some changes, like paying down balances, can show up within a month or two. Rebuilding after bigger issues takes longer.

We can't remove accurate information, but we can help you understand it and dispute anything that's wrong.
