HOW TO FIX BAD CREDIT ON YOUR OWN
  • Probably, you havent found the best credit
    repair provider for your needs or their fees seem
    prohibitive. That doesnt mean you cant do
    anything about your bad credit Houston. Yu may
    not be a credit repair specialist, but with
    following tips, you should be able to see a boost
    in your credit score after sometime.

3
Understand your credit standing
  • Before embarking on repairing your bad credit
    Houston, ensure that you have copies of your
    credit reports. You can get these reports from
    the three credit bureaus namely Trans Union,
    Equifax, and Experian. One is entitled to receive
    free credit reports once every year, and you can
    visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call
    1-877-322-8228 for one. Note that other websites
    may charge you for the reports. Credit tracking
    apps such as Credit Sesame and Credit Karma can
    also help you understand your credit rating.
  • A good credit score is perceived to be between
    700 and 740, and this can qualify you for
    excellent credit cards and low rates on
    mortgages.

Check the credit reports for errors and dispute
them
  • After getting the three credit reports, analyze
    them for any erroneous information. You can
    challenge the incorrect details, if any, with
    your debtors, creditors or the credit bureaus.
  • Erroneous information may include your identity
    information such as the spelling of your name,
    your address, credit history, and social security
    number. 
  • Revise your outstanding debts, credit cards and
    any major purchases you made. If any of the items
    is questionable, highlight the inaccuracy and
    make a copy.
  • Collect all the information you may have as
    evidence such as purchase and payment receipts
    and bank statements and make copies of them.
    These will be presented as proof to the credit
    bureaus.
  • Next, you will write a letter just as the best
    credit repair company Houston TX would, to the
    particular credit reporting firm that shows the
    inaccuracy. Explain the error with the copy of
    the highlighted report as well as the supporting
    documents for verification. Always have a copy of
    every document you sent out for your reference.
    Reporting agencies often respond within 30 days
    after receiving your letter. At times you can
    call or email the credit bureaus about your
    complaint.

Watch your spending
  • Once you have cleaned the discrepancies on your
    credit reports, it is time to watch your
    spending, lest you fall back again.
  • It is vital that you start paying all the bills
    and credit card debts on time and avoid any
    credit applications in the meantime. Have a
    budget with that can help you to spend within
    your limit. Calculate your expenses from your
    income, evaluate your spending habits, and create
    a limit of what you can spend and stick with it.

Make timely payments for all bills
  • To fix your bad credit Houston, you have to start
    settling your monthly bills by making timely
    payments. Catch up with late bills as soon as you
    can because timely payments impact your credit
    score significantly.
  • Clear credit card balances
  • Pay down all the outstanding balances on your
    credit cards in installments, and they are
    cleared. Create a budget and make room for your
    credit card amount every month.
  • Understand your credit limits and ensure you stay
    within them when charging items. Credit bureaus
    usually analyze debt loads as a ratio, and you
    wouldnt want to be maxed out. Never cancel any
    of your credit cards because the overall amount
    of all available credit often affects your credit
    rating even if you dont owe anything.

7
Avoid acquiring new credit lines
  • New credit lines are very tempting, especially
    when your favorite store is offering incredible
    discounts on purchases.
  • Every time you apply for a new credit line, it
    reflects on your credit reports as a hard
    inquiry. If in two years you have multiple credit
    lines, your credit rating will get hurt, adding
    more burden to your efforts to get the best
    credit repair Houston. Inquiries affect your
    credit score, and they can delay your efforts of
    raising your credit score.

    requires patience. Though it takes time, you can

    long as you are disciplined. All the challenges
