credit repair online

Doctor Config asked:


I have been assisting several individuals with improving their credit. I know most companies are rip offs. However, unlike someone who takes your money and runs off doing nothing. I sit down and map out how to approach removing the credit issues. What I explain is anyone of course can provide these services. I am familiar with the FCRA, FDCPA, Statue Of Limitation Laws, etc. Last year in helping people I help 20 people acheive their goals. I feel I have something legitmite to offer people. I guess my question is I’ve checked with my state (MD) and I found there were no applicable licence for my business type. I only would have to be licenced and bonded if I act as one of these debt consolidation which I choose not to be. However, in networking I spoke to someone who advised my state is leary of that term….Does anyone know for sure if this is legal?

How does one become one of those people who fixes bad credit? Is there a license one gets or degree? Anyone know? Thanks
BTW, I’m not getting into this business to scam people not everyone is into that, it’s a service that YES everyone can do on their own but not everyone wants to, and that’s where I come in. I live in a big city there are plenty of people who need help repairing their credit.

The best way to repair your credit is to write letters to the credit bureaus and collection agencies. These letters are commonly referred to as “Credit Repair Letters”. There are many different credit repair letters for many different situations. The most popular credit repair letters are dispute letters, debt validation letters, pay for delete letters and cease and desist letters.

Dispute Letters

Dispute letters are written to the credit bureaus to dispute an account, public record or personal information. Dispute letters are incredibly effective. There are many sample letters available on the internet; unfortunately most sites offer letters that state much more than they really need to. They quote the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other laws in hopes of “scaring the credit bureaus” into removing negative accounts. Some of the letters even make threats of litigation. All of this is unnecessary and will usually end up hurting your case more than it helps. Keep your dispute letters simple and to the point.

Debt Validation Letters

Debt Validation Letters are written to collection agencies to ask a collection agency to validate a debt. Debt validation is simply a consumer’s right to challenge a debt and/or receive written verification of a debt from a debt collector under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).



Pay for Delete Letters

A pay for delete letter is usually written to a debt collector in hopes of negotiating to pay on an existing account in hopes of having the account removed or updated as positive on your credit report.



Cease & Desist Letters

A cease & desist letter can be sent to anyone, usually a debt collector, to request that they immediately stop contacting you. These letters should be sent certified, return receipt so that you have proof that it was received by the collector should you ever have to provide the evidence in court if they violate your federal rights.

Ok, so you find yourself with a low credit score. What can you do about it? Well one of the first things to do is make sure that you start paying your bills on time, as obviously the aim of this exercise is to improve your credit score and get you back in line financially.

To achieve a higher score, you have to take action to get the rating higher in order that the credit bureaus will allot to you a better score on your credit report. The score they give you is so that the lenders know whether or not you will be a good risk for them to lend money to. If you have a low credit score, then you will realize that it needs improving.

Your credit score will be the deciding factor whether or not you will get a loan for that new car, vacation, or whatever purpose you choose. If you do need to improve your credit score, here are some of the first steps you can take:

o Order Your Credit Report

o Check That It Is Accurate

o Keep Any Credit Card Balances Low

There are quite a few more things you can do. Have a look at the site linked below for details. The thing to remember about a low credit score is that it need only be temporary and it can certainly be corrected. These days, credit repair is big business, and there are lots of firms that will offer to assist you in your credit repair quest.

Nowadays, it is relatively easy to come across all sorts of good credit repair advice, in books, on the internet, through consumer advice firms etc. I would say, start with this very handy tool, we call the internet. It might take a bit of work, but it should be worth it in the end.
