• In today’s world, credit is essential. Most of us use credit almost every day without even thinking about it: credit cards, car payments, house payments, etc. . Unfortunately, most people don’t give their credit rating much thought until they run into trouble with it.

• Having a bad credit rating affects far more than your ability to get a car loan or just any other type of  loan: you will also have problems obtaining any kind of credit at all – you’ll no longer be able to get store financing, you’ll pay deposits on phone lines and other utilities, and face problems renting property. It’s essential to take steps to repair your credit as quickly as possible.

• Here are some tips for credit repair:

• Get Your Credit Report: This step is crucial – all credit information is reported by banks and the like to credit bureaus, who in turn hold the key to credit repair. Most people never consider obtaining their credit reports until they are attempting credit repair, but it’s always a good idea.

• In most cases there should be no charge to receive a copy of your credit report – you simply have to request it (usually in writing and accompanied by photocopied ID). When you are turned down for a credit card or loan, the company must state which credit bureau reported you as having bad credit, and you can then request a report from this bureau.

• Credit repair begins by taking a detailed look at your credit report. Look for any inaccuracies – in some cases there can be mistakes on your file, or your credit information can get confused with someone else with the same name.

• Many people are surprised how often a company reports a missed payment by mistake. If you find any inaccuracies, you can have your credit repaired by requesting, in writing, that the credit bureau investigate the disputed items. If you have any supporting documentation, include it, otherwise simply state where the confusion is and request that it’s looked into.

• This benefits you in two ways: first, if the credit bureau can not verify the information you are disputing, by default it must be removed from your file; second, if the bureau doesn’t respond to your request for an investigation within 30 days, the information in dispute must be removed.

• If it turns out that your bad credit is the result of a mistake, going to the credit bureau is usually all you need to do for credit repair. Keep in mind when requesting your credit report that many credit bureaus will make the process seem more difficult than it is, as in terms of man hours it is not in their interests to be responding to many credit report requests.

• Contact Creditors

• Once you have taken a look at your credit report and determined that it is accurate, the next step in credit repair is make contact with the creditors that you have delinquent accounts with.

• You have to deal with these accounts as soon as possible in order to repair your credit successfully. In many cases, the top priority for the creditor will be to recover as much of the receivable as possible. Many people are surprised how accommodating they can be in terms of arranging a payment process: in many cases the creditor will eliminate the interest, or even lower the bill itself it return for immediate payment.

• If you can’t pay right away, propose a payment plan to the creditor that you can stick to – creditors will be accommodating to most payment proposals as, again, their primary interest will be in recovering the debt.

• Remember, of course, that the whole reason you’re doing this is for credit repair: under no circumstances should to commit to a payment plan with your creditors that you won’t be able to meet – it will only make problems much worse down the road.

• If a creditor has had repeated problems with a customer, it’s unlikely there will be much trust in the relationship, and they probably won’t want to help you out. Instead, pick something you can stick to and explain you financial situation to the creditor. By doing this you can often achieve credit repair quite quickly.

• Try And Circumvent The Collection Agency

• The final and worst step that a creditor will take is to sell your outstanding debt to a collection agency. In terms of credit repair, this is basically the worst thing that can happen: it means whomever you owed money to deemed their chances of recovering it so low that they we’re willing to lose some of the debt. In most cases the creditor sells the debt to the collection agency at a heavy discount, often half the amount owed.

• When a debtor had sold your loan to a collection agency, they have “written it off” and created the lowest possible mark on your credit report. If this happens try and act as soon as possible after being contacted by the collection agent. Before you negotiate with the collection company, talk to your creditor. See if the creditor will remove the “write off” mark from your credit history – this is something they will do sometimes, in exchange for immediate payment.

• The basic idea is you want to do whatever you can to get your debt out of the hands of the collection agency and back in the hands of the creditor – in other words you want to clear the debt with the creditor, if at all possible.

• If your creditor is not interested in negotiating payment, you’re stuck with the collection agent. The collection agent is likely going to take a very intimidating and threatening position, and will usually imply that they are willing to take you to court.

• The two points you should keep in mind is that the collection company bought your debt for less than the debt’s amount, and it’s unlikely they will take you to court. You best solution is to offer to make an immediate payment for less then the actual balance of your debt.

• Most companies are going to accept this – they’re usually making a profit on any payment that’s more than 50% of your debt, and by offering to pay immediately you allow them to close your file and spend their man-hours elsewhere. When dealing with a collection agent, only offer full payment as a last resort.
