The Importance of Credit Repair
A credit score plays an important role in many aspects of your life, including
your finances and your ability to get approved for loans and other financing
options. If you have low credit, however, you may have trouble getting
approved. If your credit score is in the low 600s, you’ll likely need to
consider credit repair if you want to be able to apply for new lines of credit
and improve your overall financial situation.This article covers some of the
basics of credit repair and explains why it’s an important consideration if
you have low credit scores.
1: Deleted Records
The importance of having your criminal records deleted can’t be overstated,
especially if you’re trying to find a job or get credit. Anyone can have their
records expunged, though some actions are easier than others.You might
qualify for expungement if you were arrested but never charged with a crime,
weren’t convicted or received an acquittal. Other circumstances that could lead
to expungement include conditional discharge and probation before judgment.
Regardless of why you want your record cleaned up, 609 credit repair has been
helping people do just that for years and will work with you to figure out which
avenues are best for expunging your criminal record.
2: Address Discrepancies
Once you’ve gotten an idea of where your credit stands, it’s time to actually fix
it. First, address any discrepancies between what your score says and what
other agencies say; these are called discrepancies or disputes. Here are a few
places you can dispute information that could be holding your score down: FICO
Scores,Vantage Score and Equifax. If something looks incorrect on your report,
flag it with one of these agencies and they’ll investigate further.
3: Duplicate Records
Be ready to submit supporting documentation, like receipts for car loans or
utility bills in your name—in fact, getting a statement that includes
personal information about someone else could harm their credit scores
as well as yours! Remember that once you request new information on
your file (via verification) with each agency, they’ll have 30 days to
respond—but if you want updates every step of the way; be sure to opt-in
when you request new info.
People who file for bankruptcy lose their rights to a good credit score,
which can make it difficult to get loans or mortgages. When you file for
bankruptcy, information about your debt becomes public and stays on
your credit report for 7 years. This can be an issue if you need financing
during that time and can’t find anyone willing to give you a loan because
of your poor credit score. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ensures you are
only responsible for $50 if there is a mistake in your credit report, which
makes it worthwhile to check yours from time to time even after filing
bankruptcy.
4: Fraudulent Entries
Bad credit can result from a wide range of things, including identity theft and
errors on your credit report. Often, these types of errors are just erroneous data,
but there are instances where they could be caused by something more serious.
If you suspect that someone has been making fraudulent entries to your credit
report, it’s important to take immediate action—but what should you do? In
some cases, a simple dispute with one company is enough to remove fraudulent
information from your record; for other entries (such as those related to identity
theft), though, it may be necessary to contact each of your three reporting
agencies individually.
5: Bankruptcy Filings
Almost One Quarter (23%) of AllAmericans Have Filed for Bankruptcy— and
That’s Probably an Under-Representation, Says a New Report (if link doesn’t
work) Everyone has debt. It’s practically unavoidable in today’s society.The debt
we accumulate varies from school loans to medical bills, but these debts can
quickly spiral out of control if left unchecked.
1. Medical Expenses
2. Job Loss
3.Wages garnished for Child Support
4. Debt Secured by Property
5.Wage Garnishment
6. Dependent Care Costs
7. Unexpected Emergency
8. Divorce
9. Home Foreclosure
10. Low Income
• 11. Credit Card Debt
• 12. Overdraft
• 13. Repossession
• 14. Collection of Personal Loans
• 15. Unemployment
• 16. Retirement Savings
• 17. Short Sale
• 18. Judgments
• 19. Car Repossession
• 20. Sinking Funds
This can lead people to filing for bankruptcy , but how common is it?A new
report from NerdWallet found that almost one quarter (23%) of Americans have
filed for bankruptcy at some point in their lives .
The most common reasons people file are:
21.Taxes
22. Refinancing
23. Pregnancy
24. Education Loan
25. High Interest Rate on Debt
26. Less than $1,000
27. Unpaid Utility Bills
28. Consumer Debts
29. Family Crisis
30.Vehicle Purchase
31. Bankruptcy FilingsOften Lead to Positive Outcomes Despite once having
struggled with your finances, many people still managed to climb out of debt
and build stable financial lives .
Among those who had declared bankruptcy in their past: 32% made more than
$50,000 per year 33% said they didn’t struggle financially after filing for
bankruptcy 34% managed to pay off any debt within five years In fact, 63% had
paid off all their debts within five years of declaring bankruptcy!There are many
routes you can take when trying to fix your finances after a chapter 7 or chapter
13 filings. First, you might be eligible for credit counseling services, which help
identify options you could use to reduce your monthly expenses or change
things about your spending habits.
