23 Steps to Repair Your Credit
3Here 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.
4Step 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.
5- 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!
6Step 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!
