Credit Game Canada

Education Podcasts

My wife might not think that credit is cool, but there has got to be someone else in Canada that does! Even if you agree with my wife, you can’t deny that having good credit is important. That is why we welcome you to the Credit Game. Every 2nd Wednesday (and some random holidays), we will have a new episode for you. We will discuss different aspects of Equifax, TransUnion, and how you can always have amazing credit. Although Equifax and TransUnion exist in many countries our banking system is very different in Canada. I previously was a high-volume mortgage broker for 8 years. I learned that you can have a high credit score and still get declined. After studying thousands of credit reports for my first book published in 2012, I also learned many tricks to get your credit re-established and ready for best rate mortgage financing. I will pass on what I have learned over the last decade of removing errors/fraud from credit reports and teaching Canadians how to increase their credit score quickly and properly. My wife will try and make sure the content is not boring and make fun of me along the way!

Credit Ratings vs Credit Score in Canada

5/18/2022
Think of your credit score like your GPA (Grade Point Average). Your school GPA indicates how well you are handling your individual classes. Your credit rating is like your individual "grade" for each individual Credit Card, Line of Credit, Loan, Lease, Mortgage, and Line of Credit. In this episode, we outline how you can tell what your individual credit account ratings are and how you can use them to make sure you always have an AMAZING Credit Score!

Advice your Mom Told you that can LOWER your Credit Score

5/17/2022
I'm sure your Mother or a loved one has given you some great advice throughout your lifetime. However, their instructions when it comes to credit can lower your score. Common sense would lead you to believe that paying off a loan would help your score, but that is not the case. I have seen too many Canadians be declined just because they paid off a loan at the wrong time. It is really important to know how this works, especially if you are looking to qualify for the Best Rate Mortgage Financing.

The Score you see is NOT the score the banks see!

5/12/2022
Did you know that you have more than one credit score? We tend to talk as if there is just one, however, there are two credit reporting agencies in Canada, Equifax and TransUnion. Where it gets confusing is, both Equifax and TransUnion offer multiple credit scores. And the one you have access to, is not the one that the banks use. Find out why this matters to you and help you better understand the Credit Game!
