Understanding Credit Repair Specialists: What They Do
Credit repair specialists are professionals who claim they can help improve your credit score. While some companies assert they can boost your score by a specific number of points, there's no guaranteed "fix" for credit issues. However, there are ways to enhance your credit score. But do you really need a credit repair specialist for that?
The concept of credit repair depends largely on whether there are errors on your credit report. Often, improving your credit is as simple as paying off old debts quickly.
If your credit report is error-free, there's little a specialist can challenge. Consequently, if your poor credit is due to accurate information, a specialist may not be able to assist.
To address this, focus on settling old debts promptly. Once these are paid off and reported as settled by collection agencies or credit card companies, your score will gradually improve.
Over time, negative marks like late payments and charge-offs diminish in impact. As they age, your score should improve, and eventually, these marks will disappear from your credit report entirely, significantly boosting your score.
Settling a credit card debt for less than the full amount owed, for instance, can improve your credit, although the benefits might not be immediate. As charge-offs age, their influence on your score decreases. You’ll likely see improvements after a year, with greater progress after two years, and these marks will be excluded from your score entirely after seven years.
In situations involving accurate negative information, credit repair specialists may offer guidance on paying off debts and managing credit to prevent future issues.
There are three major credit reporting agencies: TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. They may provide slightly different reports and scores, so it's crucial to verify their accuracy. You're entitled to a free report from each agency annually or after being denied credit. If errors exist on these reports, a credit repair expert might be beneficial.
Professionals are familiar with the paperwork and dispute processes required by credit reporting agencies. An expert's assistance can facilitate the removal of inaccurate negative marks from your report.
However, it's important to know that you can handle this process yourself by following the guidelines set by the credit reporting agencies. If you're unsure or hesitant, credit repair specialists can manage these tasks for you, helping to correct any mistakes.
