4 Myths About Bad Credit Reports

What can I do if the borrowing score I obtained from score bureau appears poor? Not every failed debt holder asks experts these questions. Most of them ask the bank or invent their own solutions, which not always result to their benefit. So if clients get in such a situation, they should know what they’d better do and what they’d better not. While the first part one will easily manage with the help of a secured card issuer or a card maker, we will discuss the second part – what one should better not do.


4 Erroneous Views Concerning Poor Credit Reports:

  1. “The initial step I should implement for escaping from wretched credit is receiving a secured card”. Even though secured credit cards are destined to those who cannot borrow anywhere else, owning it is not the first step one should make. Before clients start requesting any card from a list, they should aim foremost to receive their yearly borrowing record and observe the disserts of credit score downfall;
  2. “The exclusive approach how can I receive my score is by asking my bank”. Each client has the right to access data on his current borrowing score. Forbes unfolds that you are able to always receive a replica of your yearly credit report online and there are several agencies who are able to send you this file for free. Shop around and you will see that you are not that unprotected;
  3. “I am unable to correct any infelicity in my credit report”. When we compare various credit reports, at least half of them will have some faulty data. That is why if you examine your report and find out that something has been indicated incorrectly, you have all rights to contact your borrowing score agency and call for corrections. If your claim is justified, they will blue-pencil your information in a matter of minutes;
  4. “When I pay all my collection accounts, my borrowing score will rise”. In fact, if any collection notification ever emerges in your account, your FICO will drop instantly. But, closing it will improve it only in case a collection agency will delete this account. If they tell that even if you pay their accounts, they will not close your account – this will not improve your standing (indeed, you don’t have to disburse them anything).

What To Manage The Low Credit Score?

If one gets a borrowing score beneath 650, that is not the Armageddon. One has no power of applying for usage of cards with lucrative perquisites, but the same person still becomes capable of using a secured credit card. Such clients will own worse APR but it will not hurt them except if they delay their fees the next time. But before you take any decision related to your FICO, check your credit report, perhaps you are not to blame for this result.
