Simple Credit Repair Anyone Can Do – Even You!
Regardless of your track record or credit history, you can take some simple steps and do your own credit repair. You can begin right away, and it won’t cost you anything – but the improvement can be gigantic!
The first step is to get copies of your credit report, read them, and understand them. There are three credit reporting agencies, and there can be differences in your file between them.
The law now provides consumers the right to one free credit report from each of the bureaus, Experian, TransUnion, and Equfax. You are entitled to one from each company every year.
The FTC, or Federal Trade Commission has a website set up specifically for this: annualcreditreport.com. This is the “official” site for these free reports – be wary of any other offers for “free” credit reports, as they won’t actually be free.
As soon as you receive your reports, you can begin the process of credit repair. You will start by going through these files line by line.
These reports will either include a “dispute” form, or give you a web address to get them. This is the key where you will begin to fix your credit.
Make a note of every outdated, inaccurate, or incorrect entry – you will be disputing these. Fill out a dispute form and provide corrected information, or why it is inaccurate, such as debts that have already been paid but are still listed.
Each credit reporting agency has up to 30 days to either verify the information, or they must remove it by law. Even if the information is accurate, if they don’t verify it in time, it gets removed.
This simple step can remove many of the negative strikes against you, and they will no longer count towards lowering your credit score. In many cases, this can lift your score by up to hundreds of points!
