Before you can get a home mortgage loan, you need to have a good credit score. Ben Stein does a reasonably good job in this commercial of explaining some important things about your credit score. It is part of a commercial for FreeCreditScore.com. However, it is important to note that your credit score in this case is not actually free. You have to sign up for a service to get your free score. Your best bet for a free credit score is to go to CreditKarma.com and look at a general estimate of your TransUnion score. That is truly free, and while it doesn’t give the detail that you would require for a mortgage loan, it does offer you a general idea.

Anyway, enjoy the commercial.

Happy Friday!
