Today more then ever there is a growing number of people over burdened by debt they cannot pay down. A side effect to this problem is that many consumers now have very low credit scores, this makes getting a more affordable loan to consolidate the debt they do have next to impossible.It just seems like a vicious circle to many people caught up in it.

Although there are companies that can help you increase your credit score the average cash strapped person just cannot afford to pay for this type of service. All hope is not lost because there are self credit repair kits available that can help the consumer fix their own credit report for a lot less money then a paid service charges. The decision to purchase a self credit repair kit that includes a good credit repair letter template for you to use is a critical first step towards better credit and getting a good debt consolidation loan.

The importance of a good credit repair letter template cannot be over emphasized. Without the proper formatting and all the required information listed, your dispute letter may not be properly recognized by the credit reporting agencies. An improper letter will cause many delays and prolong your credit repair process. A properly formatted letter will increase your chances at having derogatory accounts removed from your credit report.

A good credit clean up guide should have everything you need to accomplish your credit goals. However the credit repair letter template is the most important tool that you will need in your efforts so be sure that the kit or Ebook you purchase contains this very important piece of information.

If you’ve ever applied for a home loan with less than stellar credit, you know how much extra you have to pay. Even though it can take some time, credit repair is definitely worth pursuing.

Credit Scores

When considering your application for a home loan, a financial institution looks at your credit and assigns it a score. In the industry, these scores are loosely referred to as a type of paper. The best scores equate to “A” paper, while lower scores are graded just like in school, to wit, “B”, “C”, “D” and “Oh, my god” paper. If you have “A” paper, you can expect to get the best deal, while lower grades are known as sub-prime borrowers.

Credit Repair

Credit repair is important because even small movements in your credit score can move you from one score to the next. If you move from B paper to A paper, you will save thousands of dollars in lower interest rates. A credit score of roughly 680 is considered to be A paper. If you have a score of 670, credit repair can bump you to 685 and save tens of thousands of dollars. In short, you want to make the effort to repair your credit whenever possible. Don’t just sit and suffer with sub-prime loans.

To repair credit, there are simple and not so simple steps that can be taken. Let’s take a look at some.

Credit Card Debt Ratios

Believe it or not, you can improve your credit scores by simply moving credit card balances around. A credit card with no balance actually doesn’t help you much if you have another card that is maxed out. If you shift the debt evenly among all credit cards, you credit score should increase. This has to do with something called your ratio of debt to available credit. It is a loophole of sorts, so take advantage of it.

Closing Accounts

Don’t! Many people will close credit card or other borrowing accounts when they are done with them. This is a huge mistake. First, it hurts you because you’ve reduced the available credit portion of your debt to available credit ratio. Second, you lose a record of your long-term credit payment history for the account. Lenders like to see these, so suck it up and keep the account open.

Inquiries

As strange as it sounds, inquiries on your credit report hurt you. Try to eliminate these by challenging them through the Fair Credit Reporting Act and limiting the credit applications you pursue. You can challenge inquiries by ordering copies of your credit reports and following the instructions on the report. Make sure to do this for all three credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian and Transunion.

Check Your Report

The big three credit agencies must report to Congress each year. Each year they report an astonishing number of problems with their systems. This can affect you since accounts will appear that are not yours. If these accounts have problems, your credit score goes down. Make sure you check your report before applying for a loan. You want to deal with these issues before you are in escrow.

Borrowing large sums of money for a home loan can be intimidating. Avoid acting like a dear in the headlights. Deal with your credit issues and save yourself thousands in payments.

Nearly a year ago I paid someone to repair my credit. She is licensed. I have a written contract. She has done nothing to help my credit and will not respond to email or telephone inquiries. How can I report her to state licensing agencies (Texas) and the credit bureaus?
