Here Are Three Tips To Get You Started On Your
Road To Repairing Your Credit.
  • A healthy credit score can mean the difference
    between enjoying and enduring consumer loans, so
    its crucial to keep your credit in good standing
    at all times. If you have found yourself in need
    of repair, though, dont panic there are several
    steps you can take to help get things back on
    track and ensure your credit stays that way over
    time.

Step 1 - Check Your Credit Score
The first step is to get a handle on your credit.
Each of us has three different scores, one from
each of three credit bureaus Experian, Equifax,
and TransUnion. These scores range from 300 to
850. The higher your score, the better shape
youre in with lenders low scores can lead to
high-interest rates on loans. Start by checking
all three scores to see where you stand. Dont
worry if they dont match up these are
statistical averages compiled from data across
millions of Americans and not an indication that
theres something wrong with your credit history.

Step 2 - Understand How FICO Scores Work
  • You may even have slightly different numbers from
    bureau to bureau due to variations in formulaic
    reporting methods. But once you have those scores
    down, take action immediately if need be.
  • That means there are two things at play here
  • (1) Paying bills on time
  • (2) Paying off debt as quickly as possible.
  • Most experts recommend devoting 30 of every
    monthly budget to paying off existing debts such
    as student loans, car payments, and credit cards.
    If you can do more than thateven 50youll
    likely begin seeing more attractive offers for
    new financial products like mortgages or home
    equity lines of credit. Any way you slice it
    though, building a positive track record is
    fundamental when repairing bad credit.

  • FICO scores are broken down into five categories
  • Payment History (35)
  • Amounts Owed (30)
  • Length of Credit History (15)
  • New Credit (10)
  • Types of Credit Used (10).
  • Since 35 of your score is calculated on payment
    history, a good way to start repairing your
    credit score is by making payments on time each
    month.
  • Get in touch with your creditors and tell them
    you are working on getting back in good graces.
    If theyre willing to work with you, set up
    auto-payments through your bank account so that
    your bills will always be paid on time. Its also
    important that if something has happened and late
    fees have been assessed that these penalties be
    removed from your report as soon as possible.
    Late payments can stay on credit reports for
    seven years from when they were first reported
    however late fees can stay for up to ten years!

Step 3 - Fix Any Errors On Your Report
  • Once youve gotten a copy of your credit report
    and checked for errors, fix them. The easiest way
    to do so is with a little-known technique called
    cross-dispute, which involves disputing an error
    with one bureau on your report while telling
    another that they neednt correct it because its
    already been handled. Cross-disputes are easy to
    make, but be careful If you send them too many
    disputes or haphazardly, bureaus may consider you
    abusive. But when done right, they can work like
    magic!
