• Your credit score not only affects your ability
  to borrow money in the future, but it also has an
  impact on how much you pay when you borrow and
  how easy it will be to get other types of credit,
  including your mortgage rate. Even if you never
  borrow money again, your credit score can affect
  where you live, what sort of jobs you qualify
  for, and even your chances of being hired. So if
  you want to improve your credit score and fix bad
  credit, here are the top five ways to do it.

1 GET A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT

• When bad credit strikes, it can be difficult to
  figure out where you went wrong. But one of the
  best ways to fix your bad credit is by getting a
  copy of your credit report and understanding
  exactly whats on it. From there, you can see if
  anything could be removed or repaired, such as
  errors in account history or incorrect
  information regarding late payments. Armed with
  all of your information, it will become easier
  for you to work towards improvement. Depending on
  whats already on thereas well as how long
  things have been impacting your scoreyou may
  find that things are hopelessly lost at that
  point, you might have little choice but to start
  over completely from scratch. That said, many
  people do succeed in bringing their scores back
  up after theyve hit rock bottom. Many even say
  they learned more about personal finance than
  ever before. Thats not necessarily an accident
  It turns out that rebuilding your credit requires
  a great deal of discipline and self-control when
  it comes to spending habits. If you can manage
  those aspects of your life effectively, then you
  stand a good chance of repairing any damage done
  to your credit profile.

2 START BUDGETING

• The best way to fix bad credit is with a budget.
  How else will you track your income and expenses,
  or determine where youre overspending? You
  should try different things that help you stick
  to a budget and not make impulse purchases. If
  one thing doesnt work for you, try another until
  you figure out what works for your lifestyle.
  Budgeting is an important step in fixing bad
  credit, so dont skip it! A good place to start
  is by writing down all of your monthly
  expensesand once you do that, find ways to
  reduce them. For example, can you live without
  cable? Would it be cheaper to switch cell phone
  providers? What about cutting back on eating out
  at restaurants and takeout? These are just some
  of the many ways to cut back on unnecessary
  spending.

3 REVIEW YOUR PAYMENT HISTORY

• Any late payments on your credit report lower
  your score and will remain there for up to 7
  years. If you have an early payment, you may be
  able to remove it if you can show that it
  happened because of extenuating circumstances
  (like your car breaking down or losing a job).
  You can dispute these types of entries with one
  of three agencies Experian, Equifax, and
  TransUnion. You have a right under federal law to
  view your free credit report from each agency
  every 12 months. So take advantage of that!
  Review your report carefully, checking to see if
  any negative information is accurate and also
  ensuring that all of your financial accounts are
  listed correctly. Also, look out for red flags
  like addresses and phone numbers that dont match
  those on file at your bank. If you find something
  suspicious, contact the bureau directly and ask
  them to investigate. Dont pay anyone who claims
  they can fix bad credittheres no such thing as
  a quick fix when it comes to your credit score.

4 NEGOTIATE WITH CREDITORS

• One of the best ways to fix bad credit is by
  negotiating with your creditors. For example, if
  you have a lot of credit card debt, it might be
  possible for you to consolidate it into one lower
  interest rate. Its worth calling up each of your
  creditors individually and asking if theyll
  agree on lower terms most will be happy to
  settle if they think they can make money in
  return. If necessary, ask them what exactly is
  preventing them from making a deal Is it just
  that they dont have time? Are there other people
  standing in line in front of you? Whatever their
  answer, it may help motivate you when working on
  an offer after all, you know why a deal isnt
  happening. And if they say no, well then at least
  you know where you stand. You should also
  negotiate with lenders who have issued mortgages
  or car loans against your property these kinds
  of debts are harder to discharge through
  bankruptcy proceedings than unsecured debts like
  credit cards or medical bills.

5 UNDERSTAND THE FAIR SCORE

• For most people, a bad credit score is just
  thatsomething that just happens and cant be
  changed. If you want to get rid of your poor
  score and move toward a more positive one, you
  have three options build your score over time
  with positive habits (you do know you need a
  history of good behavior to improve your number,
  right?), get lucky by being offered credit from
  someone who doesnt check scores or start over
  with a new number. If you choose option 3, there
  are some things you should know about Fair Isaac
  (FICO), including how it calculates scores and
  how it uses percentages instead of specific
  numbers. This will help you understand what goes
  into your FICO score so you can work on improving
  it.
