Quickly Improving Your Credit Score… While Getting A
Hold On Your Debt
If you have a history
of poor credit or think that you
might,
it's important that you find out and take the steps
to
improve it.
I've
sent you an email in the past showing
you
how to get a free report from each reporting agencies.
Your goal is to build
up a track record of consistently
paying
your bills. When creditors see that you are
consistently
paying other creditors... you are looking
better
every day in their eyes.
You've
got to know what's on your credit report and look
for
discrepancies.
Write
to the credit agencies and dispute your discrepancies.

show you how to do this.. and the exact letters to use in my
book on quickly repairing your credit... Here's the link in case you didn't

Plan to pay your
bills on time and follow through.
You
can start this today, even before you take a look at
your
credit report. Contact your creditors to review your
payment
options and catch up with any late payments. Focus on ways to reduce
your spending.
Stop
using credit cards now. If you are prone to 'impulse
buys'…
and you probably are if you have maxed-out cards… take the cards out of
your purse or wallet before going shopping.
Now
take the one with the lowest balance and pay as much as you can each month
until it is paid off- during this time- pay only the
minimum on the other cards-
Now
when you've paid the first one off- take what you were paying each month on
that card- go to card #2 and add this total plus the
minimum you have been paying and you'll begin to watch a
snowball effect like no other.
Most
people… no matter what level of debt you are in can pay off all their
credit card debt within two short years. Now you will
experience the freedom of not being in bondage to the debt.
As
you pay down your balances your score will begin to
improve-
Don't
rush to close the cards when you get them paid off- having credit can
help you to a certain point-
Now you can go back
to these cards... call the companies and ask... strongly
request… that you want a better interest rate or
you'll close the card.
Also
on this note- don't do the shuffle of going from
introductory
rate to introductory rate- just to get a 0%
balance
for 6 months. This will lower your score
drastically.
You want some history with your cards.
And
last but not least- live within your means.
This
goes for only buying the essentials and paying your bills… to not getting in over your
head with a house you can't afford.
Carefully
watch what you buy and know if you are subject to 'impulse buys' at
the local stores and walk away for a day.
Think
about it for a few days and if you still want it and
can
afford- go back and get it. (I just saved you thousands a year)
Watching
your spending, paying bills on time, and paying down credit cards
(one at a time) will take some time and discipline... You'll
want to give up but look at the rewards... One day
you'll wake up- free from debt. Go after it. You
deserve it.
