How to Repair Your Own Credit
You don't need to hire an expensive credit repair service. Once you understand the process, repairing your own credit can be quite manageable.
First, identify why you're having trouble securing loans or why your credit score is low. To do this, order your credit reports from the three major bureaus: TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian. Since these companies don't share data, each report might contain different information.
Review all the details in your credit report carefully. Check credit limits, payment history accuracy, and any fraudulent activity. If you discover an error, you're entitled under federal law to have it corrected. Write to the relevant bureau explaining why you believe the information is incorrect. They will contact the financial institution to verify the entry. If the institution fails to respond or cannot verify the entry, it must be removed from your report. Follow this process for every mistake you find. However, some might suggest disputing all entries, but doing so erroneously is unethical and likely a waste of time if the information is correct.
Next, address any past due accounts. Your payment history significantly impacts your credit score. Bring all past due accounts up to date as soon as possible so their status changes to "paid" or "current." Keeping up with payments is the quickest way to boost your score.
If you have accounts marked as charge-offs, try to repay them quickly to remove or reduce their negative impact. Work with creditors to create manageable repayment plans for any collection accounts.
If your credit cards are maxed out, reduce those balances immediately and stop using the cards. Shift to a cash-only budget you can stick to. Your credit utilization ratio?"how much credit you’re using compared to your limit?"affects about 30% of your score. For example, if you have a $1,000 limit and have used $550, you'll score better than if you've used $999, even though both are within the limit.
Ultimately, repairing your credit requires dedication and effort. With persistence, you can achieve your goal.
