Credit Correction
Have you been victimized by the Credit Reporting System and its misuse?
Do any of these sound familiar?
- You keep getting rejected for loans.
- You apply for loans on-line, and nobody ever responds.
- You read about low interest rates - but not for you.
- Your car or home insurance premium increased for no reason.
This concerns the Credit Bureaus' sloppy or improper collection and interpretation of your personal information. Those companies believe that if most information is correct most of the time, everything is fine: but that does not help you if YOUR information is wrong.
Follow the steps below to take charge of your credit history and FUTURE.
Step 1: Know your FICO score
You can request your Credit Score - instantly online! . At that site you will have an option of joining their credit monitoring service, but you can call the toll-free number posted on their site and quit before they ever charge you. This is the best way to get your report and score for free.
Step 2: Change your FICO score
Your next task is to raise the score. If you want to buy a manufactured home, your target should be at least 640. You have four options. I list them with the best options last:
- Change your identity. Illegal; don't do it. I only mention it here because over the years I have seen many plans that claim instant "perfect" credit. They all boil down to misrepresenting who is actually applying for credit. These plans are often felony fraud.
- Wait until your score gets better. The preferred plan of the Credit Bureaus; you sit passively for years while mysterious forces continue to operate. Keep in mind, by years I mean LOTS of years - and not much improvement. In my case, using a Credit Bureau web site I discovered that if I did everything perfectly (by their logic), in three years my score would improve about 25 points. If that sounds good, no need to read further.
- Challenge your FICO Score yourself. For just a few problems, and lots of time, you might try this yourself. If you go this route you will need a book or two. Here are a couple for about $10 each from Buy.com
