Ways to Repair Your Credit
Do it yourself credit repair is easier than you suspect and the first thing is to work out where you stand. Get free copies of your credit score from the three credit bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. It’s important to get one from each bureau since your report may differ on each one, and once completed you’ll have a clear picture of your overall credit score.
Attack!
Review your copies and start designing your own fiscal plan. If you’ve got any overdue accounts pay up or restructure them. Call your card company and barter reduced regular payments, change the due dates to a different time in the month or ask for an extended payment schedule. Whatever new agreement you will come up with, be sure it’s in writing.
Develop New Habits
Start paying on time if youre in the habit of making late payments. Youll also need to sit down and create a budget. Make sure you budget a little fun money every months so youll stick to it, but make sure you are saving whatever you can.
So Long…

Too many credit lines can lower your score but do not close your oldest accounts as the length of your credit history is vital to the big picture. Double check these closed accounts are labeled closed by consumer by checking your credit reports in a few months to guarantee a good report.
