 How To Repair Your Credit  

You can repair your credit.  I doesn't matter if you have collections, late pays, repossession, bankruptcies, tax liens...the process is still the same.

The golden rule is to dispute anything that is incorrect, unverifiable or invalid on your credit report.  The credit bureaus have to validate that it correct with the creditor.  If it can't be validated, it must be removed.

The following are the steps for developing a dispute program to repair your credit.  If you have items in collections, you will need to include debt validation from the collection agency or original creditor.  Right-click and download this handy flow chart of the process.   Print it out to post by your work area.

Here are the major steps:

1. GET YOUR CREDIT REPORT

2. ANALYZE YOUR CREDIT REPORT.

Go over each credit report and review each section. Your credit reports contain generally the same information give or take a few items.  Not all credit bureaus report every account.

Here is a listing of the information in the credit report:

Public records

Tax liens

Judgments

Felonies

Unpaid child support

Bankruptcy records

Credit history

Date account opened

Date account closed

Balances owed

Limits available

Monthly payment history

Status of account, i.e. current, charge-off, collections

Inquiries - hard or soft

Get more details on these items in this article about your Credit Rating.

3. DECIDE WHICH ITEMS YOU WILL TARGET FIRST

Here are some clues on how to identify what’s NEGATIVE on a credit report:

EXPERIAN

Any item marked with an asterisk- * -; and

Inquiries

4. REQUEST CORRECTIONS AND DISPUTE QUESTIONABLE ITEMS

5.  DOCUMENT YOUR CREDIT REPAIR EFFORTS

6. WAIT FOR THE CREDIT BUREAU TO FINISH INVESTIGATING AND RESPOND TO YOUR DISPUTES

7. REVIEW THE RESULTS OF YOUR REPAIR EFFORTS AND PLAN NEXT PHASE

8. IF A DISPUTED ITEM COMES BACK AS “VERIFIED,” REQUEST THE METHOD OF
VERIFICATION

9. CALL OR WRITE THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR AND ASK FOR PROOF THAT YOU WERE LATE,
OR THE ACCOUNT IS NOT YOURS, ETC.

10. REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE DESIRED RESULTS FROM THE
CREDIT BUREAUS
