Free Credit Repair: A DIY Guide
Overview
Many Americans, about 42%, grapple with bad credit or low credit scores (below 720). While "free credit repair" services are tempting, you can actually handle credit repair on your own at no cost.
Who Needs Credit Repair?
If you plan on securing a loan for a car, home, or other major purchase, your credit score plays a crucial role in determining your interest rate. Aim to improve any score below 750 to secure better rates.
Steps for DIY Credit Repair
1. Obtain Your Credit Report
You are entitled to a free credit report each year, or if you're denied credit due to your score. The denial form will list the credit reporting company's details. Access reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, which are available online.
2. Dispute Errors
If you spot inaccuracies or outdated information, dispute them. Write two letters: one to the credit reporting agency and another to the company with the disputed charge. Include your name, address, the specific item you're disputing, and any supporting documents. Also, attach a copy of your credit report with the disputed item highlighted.
3. Manage Your Finances
To improve your score, keep credit card balances low, pay off debts, and only apply for new credit when essential.
