Bad credit not only looks bad, but it makes it difficult in the future to fair credit and interest received may lessen your ability to buy a house if you want to influence.
The Federal Trade Commission to protect the American consumer claims, recommends the, instead of using a credit repair agency, such as those that send out flyers advertising quick fixes to help repair your credit problems yourself. These companies are often scams. While their methods may work for some people, they are not accessible to everyone. For this reason, the FTC recommends that even first aid. They offer a list of steps to follow. They are summarized below.

If you send them a letter, inaccuracies, you have to send off copies of documents to support your position. Not under any circumstances, the original documents. If your originals are gone, so is every evidence that you support your side.

After your report is submitted, the reporting agency usually has 30 days to report to your rule. If they consider your dispute frivolous view, they can dismiss it immediately.

Step two

You will need your dispute in writing, not over the phone, and will likely request an address aswell. If your dispute is shared with a consumer reporting agency, the creditor a copy of the dispute. If the information in dispute is found to be inaccurate, the information provider may not report it again.
