Credit Repair
If you are finding it difficult to arrange any type of
finance, or just want to improve your overall credit file, you
will need to engage in some form of credit repair. This
involves tweaking your finances so that they impact in a
positive way on your credit report.
There is no magic fix that can improve
your credit report overnight, contrary to what some
financial firms may claim, but if you act sensibly and adopt a
responsible attitude to your financial commitments, then you
will, in time, see an improvement.
Once you have looked at your credit report, you will be able
to identify the entries that are affecting your credit score.
You may just have too much existing debt and are not considered
a suitable candidate for more borrowing on that basis, even if
you have not defaulted at any time. Just reducing your overall
debt burden might be enough to improve your score.
But if your report contains other negative entries,
ones that show that your present or previous handling of debt
has not been up to scratch, then this is where you need to
start the process of cleaning up your report.
The sort of entries that will give you a poor credit rating
are:
- Not having had credit long enough to be able to
establish whether you are a good credit risk or not.
-
A record of any major financial upheaval such as
bankruptcy, or having reached a financial settlement
with existing creditors, either through the courts or
by direct contact.
-
Being referred to a collection agency for non
payment.
-
Not paying ordinary bills on time, or missing some
payments altogether.
-
Failure to pay a tax bill.
-
Defaulting on any past or present loan
agreement.
You cannot change what has already happened, it is there for
all to see, but you can start to make changes that will improve
your credit file over time. You will need to demonstrate an
improved attitude towards your management of borrowed money,
for it to have an impact on your credit file. That is only
going to happen in time.
