Credit Restoration – Improve Credit Rating Fast
David Kamau asked:
How do you show lenders, landlords and yes, even employers know that that you’re trustworthy and reliable? Your credit score also known as credit rating. Improve your credit rating and other important aspects of your life will improve as well.
This is your financial report card on how well you keep promises and better yet, it’s indicator of your responsibilities and how well you handle them.
Your credit score will have many effects on your life. This can be positive or negative. From being approved for a mortgage to an auto loan. The higher your credit score gets, the easier it will be to obtain any material item at the best possible rates.
When you have a high score banks will throw money at you and are willing to stand your ground on flexible repayment terms because you’ve shown you are worthy of it.
Not everyone shares this luck. Many have a below average or poor credit score. However, there are steps you can take to improve your credit worthiness.
The credit score is determined by the all positive and negative information or trade lines that appear on your report. Some of the information will weigh more than other data, so when working to raise your credit score you want to start with those negative areas having the most impact.
The first obvious thing that you can do to improve your credit score is make payments on time. Creditors report payments to the credit agencies either every 30 days or every quarter. Therefore, you can pretty much guarantee if your bills are paid on time, your score will rise within 3 to 6 months.
Next, you want to review your report to see if there is not false information on there. Perhaps, your creditor has placed a negative trademark saying you paid late when you didn’t. You want to write to the credit agency denying this and asking that it be corrected.
Now, if you have proof, this can happen much quicker and they’ll have no other choice but to update favorably.
What if you have no proof? There are two ways to go about it here. One is to dispute anyway and hope that at least some of your creditors don’t keep good records. A long shot, but sometimes it works.
The other is to look for mistakes in dates, account numbers, types of account as well as signs of debt re-aging. Re-aging of debt is illegal, but debt collectors count on you not knowing this. Don’t disappoint them; show them that you do know.
The good thing about finding mistakes in reports is that it legitimizes the dispute and is likely to get a negative item removed.
