Florida – We recently received an e-mail from a recent short sale seller. We had helped him short sale his house.
Here is his e-mail.
“Hi, I hope all is well. I am getting back to you on my credit scores. My score went from 663 in Feb. to 770 in June.
I know this is counter intuitive but must be because my outstanding debts were reduced. I am happy with this. Julio. “
I agree with him. I think the reduction in debt actually helped his credit score. We see so many people that are leveraged over their head. They keep paying everything on time because they don’t want back credit.
But, they can’t get a loan because they owe too much money. So even thought their credit is good, they still can’t get a loan. That’s crazy! Don’t you agree?
Our theory is that this guy falls into that category. When he short sold his house, it actually helped out his credit rating because it erased so much debt.
Yes, how much debt you have does make up part of your credit rating. The credit bureaus won’t tell exactly how much it affects your score. But, it does affect it.
So, a short sale might actually help your credit score. E-mail us if you know of any other stories like this.
