Perhaps your goal is to purchase or refinance a new home. If you have better credit, you have a better chance to qualify for mortgage financing. In this market, you most likely need a middle credit score of 620-640 just to be able to qualify for mortgage financing.

At some point in your life, you may purchase a house or car on credit. And if you have done this in the past, you know you’ll want the lowest interest rate possible.

Essentially, having the highest credit scores will ensure you achieve the lowest interest rates on your mortgage, automobile, and credit cards.
