5 Mistakes People Make When Repairing Their Credit

1. Giving Up

Credit Repair is not difficult if you arm yourself with the right information. However, it can be daunting as it demands a degree of organization, being meticulous and persevering especially in the initial stages. A great deal of patience is also required due to statutory timescales involved. For instance credit bureaus are allowed by law to take up 30 days to respond to your initial dispute.

The waiting can be frustrating but sending repeated letters can be damaging to your cause. Patience, perseverance and organization is the key. You also need a overall strategy before you even start so you can stick to it through thick and thin.

2. Lack Of Documentation

Documenting the whole process is very important. Online credit repair may seem like fast track but you'll have no proof for instance, of letters sent. You will need a simple folder to keep post office receipts in, as well as copies of dispute letters sent etc. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), credit bureaus have 30 days to get back to you with the results of an investigation on your dispute. If you do not hear from them, within 30 days, they must remove the item. This is where a receipt showing proof of when your dispute letter was sent comes in handy.

3. NOT Disputing With Credit Bureaus First

After you've checked your free credit report, you should start disputing with the credit bureaus first before accosting the creditors or those who filed the item. This alone can get up tp 30% of negative items removed! The other advantage is that, once you've filed a dispute with Transunion, Equifax or Experian, you can take your creditors to court.

4. Disputing Online

Online credit repair is 2nd best as it reduces the opportunity to document the whole process. In addition, your disputes will be processed by an offshore company. Further to that, you will not be able to dispute specific information within the listing, for instance, wrong high balance, wrong date account was opened etc.

5. Having Impossible Expectations

The reality is that certain negative items are difficult to remove unless you change your identity. Items such as child support defaults, bankruptcies, tax liens, judgements etc are difficult if not impossible to remove. Bankruptcies can stay on your report for at least 7 years. For ordinary negative items such as credit card defaults it can take anywhere from 4 months to a year. Patience is key.

4 Tips To Help Raise Your Credit

Raising you credit score is not as difficult as you may think. It's a well known fact that, people with higher credit scores can easily obtain lower interest rates on mortgages, insurance and credit cards. If your credit score falls under 620 just getting loans and credit cards with reasonable terms is difficult.

According to statistics, there are more than 30 million people in the United States that have credit scores under 620 and if you’re probably wondering what you can do to raise credit score, here are five simple tips that you can use to raise credit score:

1. Pay Your Bills On Time

Your payment history makes up 35% of your total credit score. Your recent payment history will carry much more weight than what happened five years ago.

Missing just one months payment on anything can knock 50 to 100 points off of your credit score.

#1. Paying your bills on time is a single best way to start rebuilding your credit rating and raise credit score for you.

#2. Get a copy of your credit report from the major credit bureaus

Each consumer is entitled to at least one FREE report a year from each of the credit bureau - Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. Obtaining a copy of your credit report is a good idea because if there is something on your report that is incorrect, you will raise credit score once it is removed. Make sure you contact the bureau immediately to remove any incorrect information.

It's important to know that each service will give you a different credit score.

2. Pay Down Your Debt

Your credit card issuer reports your outstanding balance once a month to the credit bureaus. It doesn't matter whether you pay off that balance a few days later or whether you carry it from month to month.

Credit bureaus don’t distinguish between those who carry a balance on their cards and those who don’t. So by charging less you can raise credit score even if you pay off your credit cards every month.

In addition, lenders prefer to see a lot of of room between the amount of debt on your credit cards and your total credit

limits. So the more debt you pay off, the wider that gap and the better your credit score.

3. No Need To Close Old Accounts

In the past people were told to close old accounts they weren’t using. But with today's current scoring methods that could actually hurt your credit score.

Closing old or paid off credit accounts lowers the total credit available to you and makes any balances you have appear larger in credit score calculations. Closing your oldest accounts can actually shorten the length of your credit history and to a lender it makes you less credit worthy.

If you are trying to minimize identity theft and it's worth the peace of mind for you to close your old or paid off accounts, the good news is it will only lower you score a minimal amount. But just by keeping those old accounts open you can raise credit score for you.

4. Avoid Bankruptcy At All Costs

Bankruptcy is the single worst thing that can absolutely destroy your credit score. It will lower your credit score by a minimum of 200 points and it is also very difficult to recover from.

Once your credit score falls below 620, any loan you get will be far more expensive. Bear in mind that a bankruptcy on your credit record can be retained for up to 10 years.

The reality of a bankruptcy is it will limit you to high-interest lenders that will squeeze out high interest rate payments from you for years.

It is better to get credit counseling to help you with your bills and avoid bankruptcy at all costs. By getting credit counseling instead of declaring bankruptcy you can raise credit score over a much shorter period of time.
