- How to Improve My Credit
Posted on Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 in Credit Cards – Comments: (1)This is a question that plagues not only those who have poor credit but also those who maintain a good score. Everyone wants to be a little better off her, because it translates into better interest rates and overall, many perks while availing of loans.When you ask yourself, “how to improve my credit”, the first thing that comes to the mind is “use credit cards sparingly.” More than two thirds of people who declare bankruptcy at one time or another in their lives, do so because they abuse their credit cards. Make it a point to use credit cards only when it’s absolutely necessary.Another point that you need to keep in my mind here is that you should always, without exception, pay your credit card bills in full. In this way, you’ll not be caught in the debt trap of paying 3 percent compound interest on the outstanding balance.
- Quick Fix Credit Score – Good or Bad?
Posted on Friday, September 4th, 2009 in Credit Repair General Topics – Comments: (0)When it comes to quick fixing of your credit score, the question should be whether it’s legal or not, rather than whether it’s good or bad. While it’s certainly possible to repair your credit score, fixing it overnight is not realistic.When and if you find credit repair agencies promising you otherwise, please keep in mind that they are probably employing illegal means. Don’t ever be tempted to hire the services of such credit repair agencies because you will fall into more trouble than help.The way you can fix a credit score legally is by improving your financial transactions, and the minimum time for this to register with the bureaus is about 6 months. You can also improve your credit score by removing wrongly entered negative information. It will be possible to raise your credit score a few notches if there are major mistakes on your credit report. And given the fact the anywhere from 1/3 to 90% of credit reports DO contain errors!
- Fair Debt Collecting Practices Act and You
Posted on Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 in Credit Repair Law – Comments: (0)The Fair Debt Collecting Practices Act is especially designed to protect you, the indebted, from being harassed by creditors and/or collection agencies. While it’s important that you pay money you have borrowed, in the event you are unable to pay, you will find protection against intimidating action of creditors and debt collectors under this Act.Many creditors are tempted to harass you directly or through third party agents (collection agencies) in order to recover the money owed them. In such cases, you can file a suit against them under the Fair Debt Collecting Practices Act.
