Step One Get Your Credit Report
Your credit rating is one of the utmost important elements in ascertaining your economic status. With a great credit rating, you'll have no troubles obtaining loans, mortgages, credit cards, etc. . . But if you have skipped payments with a creditor in times past, your creditor will report you to a credit reporting agency, which will reflect on your credit report. With this bad credit rating, many doors will be closed to you: you'll be unable to acquire most kinds of loans, and without having a credit card you will not be able to do your shopping online, or rent a car. For these reasons it is significant that you try to repair your credit as soon as you are able.
The first thing to do in credit repair is to get your credit report from your credit reporting agency. There are only a couple of credit reporting agencies in Canada and the US. You can find out which one has your credit report when you are turned down for credit: your decided credit card application, for instance, will be a great indicator which agency furnished the report.
You have the right to get your credit report free of charge. To do this you can visit the agency web site and download an application, then mail it, along with photocopied ID, to the agency. You should get your credit report though the mail in a no time at all. Credit reporting agencies will allow you to acquire your credit history instantly online, for a small fee.
Whatever path you choose, in terms of credit repair it's crucial that you analyze your credit report closely once you receive it. You should be looking for any inaccuracies in your report. If you find any, you have the right to ask for an investigation in writing from the agency. Now that you have requested that a particular item in your credit history be looked into, the agency must reply within 30 days offering documentation of the entry in question. If they fail to do so, the entry must be removed from your credit report.
When asking the credit agencies that your credit report be investigated, you should send any supporting documents if you have any. However it is not common, in some cases that the agencies make outright mistakes, or confuse your information with another customer with the same name. If an entry in your credit history is under investigation, you can also ask that the agency mark the entry in question as "under investigation" on your file.
Though it can seem like a troublesome process, it is utterly imperative that you get your credit history before you attempt to repair your credit. Without your credit file, you won't know exactly where you stand, only that your history is "bad." What you will need to know is how bad your credit is, and why. For instance, are you dealing with a single outstanding issue or multiple ones? How long has the problematic mark been in your credit history, and for how long will it remain? Knowledge of these things is necessary in order to start the process of credit repair effectively.
