Credit Repair DIY
Posted on August 27th, 2009 No commentsA negative credit report can definitely have an impact on your ability to get a loan, or on the amount of money that you will have to repay eventually as part of your loan agreement. It is therefore worth while to put effort into becoming credit worthy if you are not currently, but you have to realize that it does not happen overnight. Credit repair is something that takes place over a couple of months and there are various steps involved if you want to increase your credit score.
The first step is to get a copy of your credit report. There are three credit bureaus and your rating might be slightly different at the three bureaus, since creditors only report to the one (or two) that they are subscribed to. You therefore need to get your credit report from all three credit bureaus.
If a creditor has denied you employment or refused you credit you are entitled to get the credit report that they used as a basis for their decision. You can request a credit report from the bureau that the creditor used to deny to credit. You are also entitled to one free credit report from all the bureaus per year, as per government legislation.
It is your responsibility to check your report for inaccuracies. People make mistakes and this works to your advantage. Be on the lookout for factual errors such as date errors, inaccurate histories of your accounts or typing errors. After going through the report, make a list of all the errors you would like to dispute. Please do not dispute errors that are ‘frivolous’ since these might just be rejected by the bureau and they might then ignore subsequent disputes from you.
You can either submit your disputes in the argument form supplied with your credit report or write a letter. Do not forget to include copies of supporting documents with your dispute. Do not send the original documents in with your dispute! Also keep records of the dates that you have sent in the disputes, as well as copies of all your dispute letters.
Any item that is proven to be inaccurate will be removed and will result in raising your credit score.
Further to this, you need to be able to prove that you are credit worthy and able to repy loans in future. In order to do this, you need to ensure that you repay any loans or credit cards repayment amounts promptly. You might find that some of your positive repayment history is not added to your credit history at the credit bureaus. You need to ask the grantors to report your credit history with them to the credit bureaus.
Slowly you will build up a positive credit history and start getting a good credit score that will make it easy to get a new loan with a reduced interested rate.
