Question by Cars & Computers: How can a private lender add payment history to credit report?
Is there a service that will provide private lenders with payment history reporting on debtors’ credit reports?

I have a mortgage from a private lender (not a relative, a private institution). The mortgage does not show up on my credit report at all, which makes my credit score lower than it could be as TransUnion notes I am being penalized for not having mortgage history.

Your lender would have to pay the fees to subscribe to the credit bureau. It isn’t cheap. Does your lender use one of the other two credit bureaus? Not all creditors belong to all three.

There is an alternative for you but this would be just a one shot listing of the mortgage. There would be no updates which wouldn’t really help your score.

Can I get a debt consolidation loan as a home loan but with no equity?; More complaints being lobbed at aggressive debt collectors

Question by Cassidy S: Can I get a debt consolidation loan as a home loan but with no equity?
I am trying to consolidate my credit card debt because the payments are too high each month. If I could get a home loan this would be perfect. I am having difficulty making all the payments and I don’t want to completely ruin my credit. Any reliable consolidation advice would be apprecitated!

Answer by Phil O’ Brien
No

What are you doing to reduce your spending habits and increase your income?

Most people who consolidate their debt go right back to their spending habits and end up running their credit cards up again.

If you are financially irresponsible the best thing you can do for yourself is to cut up your credit cards and get a second or third job and pay the cards off.

You got yourself in this mess, you are going to have to work hard to get yourself out. Most people want an easy solution but there aren’t any.
