My credit is awesome -- lots of hard work to get it all straightened out so have to brag. Dh -- he has just no credit so I've been adding me to my accounts to bring up his score. I'm hoping by adding him on I can attach his history to mine and it'll put us in a much better position to buy a new house. Just had to babble gals sorry!
Well my credit score was at 780 last time I pulled it which is a terrific place to end up for now. Dh's is at only 700 -- which is still good but I'd love to go into a mortgage with excellent credit.
I have been working in mortgages for around 5 years now. Adding your dh to your accounts does improve his score. He will get the benefit of your credit history. Although I gotta say both of you have excellant scores. You should not get hit on the interest rate with these scores. If you are told that his 700 will somehow lower your credit rating, you will want to talk to someone else. The economy has been hit pretty hard in Michigan, it's sad but most of the clients we meet with are in the 540 to 620 range.
