So as you can see, the reasons are pretty diverse when it comes to credit repair…each of us has our own unique reason for wanting to boost our credit scores and repair bad credit.

Great article straight from the FTC  Website.

Remember folks…there is nothing a credit repair firm can do you for you that you can’t do for yourself…often quicker and cheaper!

Click Here For Full Story:

A credit repair company that falsely claimed it would help boost consumers’ credit ratings will settle Federal Trade Commission charges filed last year as part of “Operation Clean Sweep,” a federal-state crackdown on credit repair scams.

The FTC charged the Chicago-based defendants with falsely promising to remove negative information from consumers’ credit reports, even if it was accurate and current, in violation of the FTC Act and the Credit Repair Organizations Act. They also allegedly violated federal law by requiring payment before any service was provided to consumers. According to the FTC’s complaint, the defendants’ advertising stated, “We would never charge a large fee up front, or make you wait a long period of time to refund your money if we do not get results. You WILL see results in 60 days, or your money will be refunded in full . . . .” They charged $495 per person and $665 for a couple and required $219 or $269, respectively, in advance.

The settlement order bars the defendants from further violations and from misrepresenting:

• They can improve consumers’ credit reports by permanently removing negative information, even when it’s accurate and current;
• They can otherwise improve a consumer’s credit report or ability to obtain credit;
• The full cost of their services and any restrictions on consumers’ use of those services;
• Their refund or cancellation policy; or
• The benefits of using their goods or services.

The order imposes a $226,793.90 judgment that will be suspended once they pay $20,000. The full judgment will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition. The order prohibits the defendants from collecting any payments from consumers who purchased their services before October 23, 2008, when the court halted their business practices and froze their assets. The order further bars them from
disclosing or benefitting from customer information, and failing to properly dispose of customer
information.

The defendants are Advantage Credit Repair LLC and Mark D. Solomon. The Commission vote to authorize staff to file the stipulated final order was 4-0. The proposed order was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.

The Commission appreciates the assistance of the Better Business Bureau of Chicago & Northern Illinois in this case.

The FTC offers consumer information, “Credit Repair: How to Help Yourself,” athttp://ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre13.shtm, and advises that only time, a conscious effort, and a personal debt repayment plan can improve a credit report. The first step is to learn what information is in the credit report. If there are errors or mistakes, federal law provides the right to have them corrected – free of charge. Federal law requires that the nationwide consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – provide consumers with a free copy of their credit report once every 12 months, if requested. To order your free report, consumers can visit annualcreditreport.com, call 1-877-322-8228, or complete and mail the Annual Credit Report Request Form.

Hello again and Happy New Year to all of my subscribers.

If cleaning up your credit reports and increasing your credit scores is a goal for you in 2010, then this may be the most important message you will have seen this month!

Since January seems like a good time to get started on New Years Resolutions and you want to repair credit report, then follow along as I guide you through the process of getting your credit reports (notice I didn’t say credit scores, more on that later)

To take full advantage of all the content available to you now, and increase your score as fast as possible, you’re going to need to get the bureaus “standardized” reports. You can only get them through the mail.

UPDATE: Alright, I’ve changed my tune a little on this one. If you are in a BIG hurry, you can get them online at www.freeannualcreditreport.com. Print the reports and save the link information. This usually takes about 30-45 minutes. Transunion gives you their “standardized” report online. Equifax and Experian give you reports that are very similar and easy to work with.

Annual Credit Report Service: 1-877-322-8228
OR www.freeannualcreditreport.com

If you don’t qualify for a free report, then call:

Experian 1-888-397-3742 (Depending on calling area)
Equifax 1-800-685-1111 (Depending on state of residence)
Transunion 1-866-726-7388 ($7.95 for report & score)

** Have a credit or debit card and about $28 available.

OR

If you have an old copy of your credit report, you can dispute an address, or wrong name, and mail it to each bureau. Request a free updated report in your dispute, and mail it first class.

Always remember to include in your dispute your:

Full name
Current address
SSN
Date of birth
Previous address

… As well as a copy of a government issued photo ID and your SSN card (or a copy of some type of utility bill in your name that matches your address.)

OR

If you’ve been denied credit, insurance, or other benefits within the last 60 days, mail a letter to each bureau requesting a free report with a copy of the denial notice.

OR

Some prefer to use one of the bureaus online 3-in-one services so they can monitor their reports. Do what works for you! In any case, get as many reports as possible so you can compare them and find different angles of factual dispute.

OR

Instantly get a free Experian report online by initiating a 90 day fraud alert. This alert will transmit to Equifax and Transunion, so you might not want to do this if you are seeking any credit within that period of time. If you do apply for credit within 12 months, make sure the fraud alert is removed PRIOR to applying. You can get your free instant report here:

https://www.experian.com/consumer/cac/InvalidateSession.do?code=SECURITYALERT

Remember, this is a tactic I recommend to get the most information on a credit report for your dispute process.

When you want to get your FICO scores, I always recommend going to www.myfico.com/12.

   Hello Everyone and welcome to 2009! I have been pouring over the many  e-mails that my students and followers of this blog have been sending to me. I will address some of the more common questions and topics each week here at the blog. One that keeps coming up is; what to do if you have been caught up in this financial crisis that most Americans have found themselves in.

   First off, Don’t Panic! I know that losing a home, losing a job, being WAY behind on credit card payments, or having a car repossessed  may seem like the end of the world. Trust me…is isn’t. This too shall come to pass as they say.

   Today, many Americans are falling on economic hard times.  Through no fault of their own, companies have downsized and passed out pink slips to countless good employees.  Even if new positions are found the next day, they generally come with a significant pay cut. Thus, it is impossible to meet mortgages, pay student loans, or keep up with minimum credit card payments. Even when the economic crisis is over, many individuals will need to know how to repair credit following financial hardship.

   Generally, credit report repair can take up to seven years to accomplish.  Credit history, good or bad, stays on the books for a significant amount of time. Potential lenders need to know how money issues have been handled in the past, how finances are today, and whether individuals are a good credit risk for tomorrow.

   However, knowing how to repair credit is the first step in rediscovering financial freedom and getting out from under the burden of debt for good!

Begin by:

·      Living within your means

·      Getting rid of temptation

·      Making payment arrangements with creditors

·      Combining debt

·      Seeking advice

   Learning how to repair credit may sound simple in planning, but the execution may be one of the most difficult tasks you have ever undertaken.

Live within your means

   In today’s society, it is so easy to get into the mode of buy now, pay later.  Department stores sometimes offer significant discounts if customers apply for the store credit card.  Even the federal government wants to give incentives for lenders to provide more credit for potential borrowers. Of course, any savvy individual knows how this philosophy can spell financial disaster. 

Instead of falling into the financial trap, live within your means and discover how to repair credit by simply saying “no” once in awhile.  For example, if a daily latte does not fit into the family budget, start putting coffee in a thermos before going to work.  If going out to eat, followed by a movie on Friday night means gambling on whether the utility bill can be paid this month, make a simple dinner at home and rent a movie.

Getting rid of temptation

   Learning how to repair credit means getting rid of temptation to keep digging in that pit of financial woes.  Make sure you cannot spend it, if you do not have it. Yes, it is time to put ALL of the credit cards through the shredder.  If the pain is too great, a good friend will be glad to do the deed for you. Then, you can escape the trap the majority of Americans have fallen into over the last few years.  Pay cash, or walk away.

Making payment arrangements with creditors

   The next step in learning how to repair credit is contacting all the companies to whom you owe money.  Set up a feasible plan to eradicate the debt.  Most people are willing to work with customers who are genuinely making an effort to escape the debt trap. They simple need to have a plan you can both live with, until the debt is resolved.

Combining debt

   One of the biggest obstacles to learning how to repair credit and reach financial freedom is the massive interest rates on credit cards.  Most people would faint if they truly understood the interest being charged each month, and how many years it will take to achieve a zero balance with only the minimum payment.  Multiply the problem by six or seven credit cards and it is now a financial disaster!

   One of the first lessons in learning how to repair credit is combining debt.  Many card companies offer cheap interest rates on balance transfers. Naturally, they would rather be making a profit than leaving the charge to a competitor. By transferring debt from a credit card with higher interest, you might save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars over time.

Seek advice

   Last, but definitely not least, seek the advice of a credit repair expert.  For example, if you live in Texas, you may want to look up credit repair San Antonio in the yellow pages or online.  The key is to find someone who has the knowledge to help you get out of debt ASAP.  Then, credit repair can begin in earnest, as the wounds of debt begin to heal.

   Look, there are many credit repair books, tapes, seminars, and services out on the Net. Of course I am bias to my credit repair advice, but there are also some very reputable sources of info. Just realize that you can do better than most so called credit repair companies. 

Stay tuned!

   Okay, now that the holiday season is behind us…it’s time to get started on cleaning up bad credit that you may have accumulated during 2008. Let’s face it, this was one of the worst years on record for personal financial chaos.

   When I speak at real estate investing seminars across the country, one of the common questions that comes up is whether or not to hire a lawyer ( not some legal sounding dispute letter writing company) to challenge bad credit items. Here is my take on the subject:

   When repairing your credit score there are legal credit repair services and options to make this happen. There are rules that the credit card companies and banks have to follow when placing items on your credit report. There are also rules about having negative marks removed as well. There are companies that can help you have these negative marks removed from your report and get back your credit score.

These companies and organizations are well versed in the area of credit repair and credit scores. Their only job is to help people remove negative marks and fix the errors that credit bureaus regularly make on consumer credit reports. Unfortunately, these negative marks lower your credit scores greatly and can be extremely difficult to remove and receive assistance from the credit bureaus.

Common mistakes that are found on many credit reports include:

• Incorrect names or names that you have never gone by

• Misspelling your name or parts of your name

• Wrong addresses or address or states that you have never lived in

• Wrong job and employment information

• Mixing family information, accounts added because of the same last name, but that are not yours.

• Incorrect account numbers

• Credit limits that are too high or too low

• Payment history showing missed payments when there have been none

• Accounts that are not yours

• Bank and credit card names that are incorrect

• Showing accounts that are open that have been closed by the consumer

• Accounts showing closed by credit granter when they were closed by the consumer

• Duplicate accounts, the same account showing up multiple times on the same report

• Missing accounts that are in good standing that are not showing

• Incorrect balances of accounts

• Accounts that should have fallen off the credit report already

• Collection accounts that have been paid or are not yours

   These are just a few of the errors that are made all the time on consumer credit reports. Almost anything that the credit bureaus and credit card companies can make a mistake with, they will. You have to check your report at least once a year to make sure that it is right and error free. All these different mistakes can add up and drastically lower your credit score.

   Even when some errors could be in your favor, they should still be fixed and shown to report accurate information. It is all a part of your credit report and all information should only pertain to you and reflect accurately your credit history. That is when a professional legal credit repair service is very useful.

   They will help you write and create the letters to send to have these errors fixed. For example, when you appeal an item on your credit report you can request that you be sent proof that the account is yours. If the credit card company or bank can not do this, then the account must be removed immediately. They are only given a certain amount of time to do this and if they fail to do so, then the credit bureau must remove or correct the information.

   Also, accounts can only stay on your credit for so long, after that they must be removed. These items and many more will be taken care of by a legal credit repair service. If you are looking for fast credit repair, then using a legal credit repair service will make that happen. They can help you recover your credit score and get you on the path to financial recovery.

Bottom Line?

   The Credit Bureaus exist for one reason, and one reason only…to make money! Each and every one of the credit bureaus is is a publicy traded company. They make most of their revenue by selling information (i.e. credit reports) to lending institutions, insurance companies, utility companies, credit card issuing banks, and employers.

   They DO NOT make money by researching your credit disputes…in fact, it costs them time, money, and resources to investigate them. Is it any wonder then who the credit bureaus ultimately serve?

Credit Bureau Secret #1

Credit Bureau Reports – Your 92 Credit Scores

   Credit reports and scores are created “on the fly” whenever they are requested by you, a creditor, or a lender. In fact, you can have up to 92  different credit scores…23 different credit scores for each Bureau: Transunion, Experian, Equifax and don’t forget the little known “other” credit bureau named Innovis.

Remember your credit scores can vary drastically  depending on who pulls the report and the particular credit profile applied to you.

This Credit Bureau process is especially problematic if you are thinking of getting a home loan or mortgage. The credit score you see if you request it from a Credit Bureau or an on-line service WILL be different – and probably much higher than the credit score you receive from a Mortgage Broker.

Why?

One reason is that when you pull a report from an online service 18 elements of identification have to match exactly. For example, all of the letters of your last name need to match. That means you are more likely to get accurate information.

When the credit bureaus pull reports for lenders, usually only 9 elements have to match, for example only 2 letters in your last name. So, more errors and erroneous information will appear on your score – lowering it.

Why do the Credit Bureaus provide different – and LOWER – scores to lenders? Because they’ve decided that by reporting lower – more conservative credit scores to lenders, they would be less likely to be sued by lenders if the borrower defaults on the loan.

Do you think the Credit Bureaus care about showing Lenders your true credit worthiness? I am here to tell you that they don’t!

Matter of fact, if you would like to find out more information about how the credit bureaus are royally screwing over the American Consumer, click the link below to find out more shocking secrets the credit bureaus keep from you and I…

Credit Bureau Secret #2

Credit Bureau Reports – Your Scores are NOT Accurate

Did you know that your credit score is probably inaccurate?

   According to a recent Public Interest Group Research study, more than 70% of Credit Reports contain errors. Oh sure the Credit Bureaus say to the public that only 20% of credit reports contain errors, but that’s a bunch of Credit Bureau bologna, because when they are in court under oath they admit that more than 50% of credit reports contain errors.

What kind of errors are probably on your credit report – and making you pay more for your home, auto loan, insurance, credit cards and student loans?

The study found that:

- 29% of credit report accounts contain serious errors that don’t belong including false delinquencies that can kill your credit score.

- 41% of credit reports contain personal demographic information that was incorrect, outdated, or misspelled.

- 20% of credit reports – 1 in 5!!!! were missing major credit loan mortgage or other information to demonstrate the credit worthiness of the consumer.

- 26% of credit reports contained accounts that were in incorrectly listed as open (or) “closed by credit grantor.” When your account is “closed by grantor” it looks like you did something wrong and that’s bad for your credit score.

Credit Bureau Secret #3

What Is Your Real, Accurate, and  True Credit Score?

   Did you know that over 90% of the financial institutions in the world will use credit scores from one organization only? The name of that company is Fair Isaac Corporation or as they are more commonly known FICO and FICO Credit Scores.

The location where I recommend that you purchase your credit scores from is from the Fair Isaac Corporation at their website www.myfico.com/12

This website will not only give you the most current status of your credit reports, but it will also show you your FICO Credit scores from all 3 credit bureaus. This is the only place you should ever get your credit scores, because your FICO scores are the ones from where most lenders will base their acceptance of your credit application.

I find it interesting that the major credit bureaus also have their own version of credit scores that they try to sell to you and I.  However  none of the people you are trying to get to extend you credit will even look at those credit scores!

It is just another example of the greedy credit bureaus trying to squeeze more and more money from us.

Let’s Wrap This Up… 

   So as you can see, there are many myths disguised as truths when it comes to credit and credit repair. There are also hidden secrets that the credit bureaus don’t want you to know. I hope that since you are now armed with this knowledge, you won’t fall victim to false information that exists out there.

   The cost of having a poor credit rating is growing higher each and every day. It literally pays to improve your credit score. You’ll get better interest rates on loans, lower premiums on insurance, and maybe even a better job. But, is it possible to repair your credit for free In this article we will answer that question, but also ask some more questions for you to answer.

   You see the ads for credit repair services everyday on TV and in newspapers. You may even get calls from telemarketers offering “instant credit repair – 100% guaranteed.” The Federal Trade Commission, the government agency responsible for looking out for consumers, says in plain English;

   “Do yourself a favor and save some money. Don’t believe these statements.” The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) goes so far as to say that everything a credit repair company can do to improve your credit rating, you can do for yourself, for free. Is that true Maybe.

   If you have the right information on how to work with your creditors, debt collection companies, and the credit reporting agencies, and you if have the time to spend, then you can make headway in repairing your credit. For free.

   The vital “IF” in that statement is related to the “right information.”  Reputable credit restoration companies have extensive experience in dealing with creditors, the credit bureaus, and collection agencies.

   It’s all they do, every day. If you want to be as successful, you’ll need access to the information and proven techniques the reputable credit repair companies employ. Improving your credit report is not as easy as sending a couple of form letters and waiting for your score to magically rise.

   You’ll be waiting for a long, long time. The FTC says that only time, a conscious effort, and a personal debt repayment plan will improve your credit report. Yes, but that is also too simplistic. There is an unpredictable aspect to credit repair. You’ll have to be prepared to respond in different ways to individual creditors and credit bureaus in order for your efforts to be successful.

   How much of the credit restoration process you can do yourself, and for free, is based on your availability to the right information and techniques, and your skills and experience. How polished are your written and verbal communication skills How much legal experience do you have Can you get your point across on the phone, without letting your temper flare up?

   Let’s hope your math skills are adequate. All these factors will come into play if you decide to take on your creditors yourself. In the end, it comes down to how much can you do yourself based on your current skills and experience, and how much would you benefit by hiring someone to handle the more technical aspects of repairing your credit.

   So, the answer to the question, “Is free credit repair possible” is a definite “maybe.” Your first action should be to arm yourself with the vital information you’ll need. There are a variety of public sources of this information, including the Federal Trade Commission.

You will be surprised how easy and uncomplicated credit repair can be when you just apply yourself and follow the golden rule…”treat others the way you wish to be treated”

Having bad credit and low FICO credit scores is serious business, and fixing that problem should be done in a business-like manner. Picking up the phone and yelling at the lender’s customer support representative is not going to help repair your credit; in fact, it may make it worse.  Think about the person on the other end of the phone. Oftentimes they are simple, hard working people who take a lot of crap everyday on the phone. Not to mention they probably don’t get paid very much and work in a small cubicle in some windowless call center.

I discuss in other postings how to handle these type of folks when you make a phone call to them, however for now I want to discuss what to do when you send out a letter to a creditor.

When you write a letter to anyone other than the credit bureaus (more on them later), make sure that your words are simple, concise, and professional. 

A simple credit repair letter can help you in a variety of ways:

 
1. Reduce your debt by negotiating repayment plans with your lenders, in writing. Especially in the current meltdown of banks, Wall Street, and the general market, this is probably the BEST time to be negotiating with your creditors. Debt negotiation letters can settle your debts, and erase bad credit, for a fraction of what you currently owe.  Your lenders will always want to recoup some of their losses, as opposed to having to write all of off your bad debt.  A simple letter can be very powerful in reducing the amount of money you owe, and perhaps avoid bankruptcy for you.

2. A well-crafted letter can also stop collection agencies and attorney debt collectors from harassing you.  It is your right to not be called in the middle of the night or while you are at work.  These companies sometimes “buy” your debt from the original lender, for a percent of the value.   Get these annoying parasites out of your life by putting it in writing.

3. Stop identity theft with a fraud alert letter.  If you suspect that an ID thief is using your personal identifying information to open a new credit account for their personal gain, place an “initial fraud alert” on all three of your credit reports (TransUnion, EquiFax, and Experian).  

This can only be done if you feel your personal information has been compromised.  The initial fraud alert letter requires that lending institutions call you at the phone number listed on your credit report to confirm any new transactions, effectively stopping any new ID theft, at least for the next 90 days.

4. Raise your credit score by removing inaccurate or negative information from your credit report.  Write to the credit bureau that is distributing the bad information, and spell out exactly why the data should be deleted from your report.  Perhaps you have paid off a loan that your report shows as outstanding.  Always include any copies of proof you may have, such as cancelled checks showing timely payments.  It never hurts to include the consequences that have resulted from the credit bureau including the inaccurate information as well.

Be sure to make a copy of all credit repair letters and any attachments for your own files.  It is all good evidence that you are working to establish a good line of communication with your creditors.

The impact of your credit repair letters will not be instantaneous.  But in a month or so you will likely find that your credit report will reflect the requested changes, that the identification theft has stopped, or that your lenders are negotiating in good faith with you in good faith to reduce your debt.  Keep in mind that you are repairing not only your credit, but also your good name and reputation.  

The pen is mightier than the sword.
