Basic Credit Repair Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keep on track<\/strong> \u2014 Obviously, the best way to rebuild credit is to keep current on all bills and debts. But if something happened that doesn\u2019t make that possible, it\u2019s important to pay off those accounts as quickly as possible. Some debts will stop affecting your credit report after seven years, but a lot can happen in that time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Ask<\/strong> \u2014 Applying for a lot of credit cards all at once can really take a toll on a credit report. Opening new and unnecessary credit accounts is a major red\u00a0flag to future lenders. Also, be careful about closing unused credit cards, which can also drop your FICO score a few points.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the Math<\/strong> \u2014 Credit reports and compiled by people and mistakes happen. Life can be difficult enough without having to pay for someone else\u2019s mistakes.\u00a0If something shows up on your credit report that isn\u2019t yours, make sure you dispute the charge as soon as possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beware of Scams<\/strong> \u2014 Debt consolidation services can cause additional problems. A debt that is settled for less than the agreed upon amount, could result in a negative credit report entry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
