ABC7 news consumer specialist Ric Romero interviewed Gavin Fenske, President of Great Financial Mortgage, www.greatfinancialmortgage.com , about the Rapid Re-Score option. Rapid re-scoring allows customers seeking mortgage financing the opportunity to immediately repair erroneous information that is currently on the credit report and boost their scores in about 5-7 days. This can mean getting better interest rates and better terms on a loan versus taking a sub-prime loan that offers higher rates and uncomfortable terms. Asked why this is an important feature, Fenske explained that rates and programs are based upon a client's credit score. Typically, through regular channels, it would take a consumer 2-3 months to repair their credit going directly through the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion).
