Your credit file is a detailed description of your financial history and is used by banks or other lending institutions to evaluate your capacity to manage repayments and loans. Your file includes details of credit cards, loans, store cards and utility accounts you have held, along with your personal information.

You are likely to have a below-average or weak credit history if your credit score is between 0 and 550. It implies your credit report may contain evidence of bankruptcy, overdue accounts, several credit enquiries in a short period, late payments or defaults and other adverse listings. If you have bad credit, you will struggle to obtain approval for a credit card and perhaps receive higher interest rates when applying for a loan.

About Credit Repair

It is the method of cleaning up negative or incorrect listings on your credit file, also, adopting positive financial conduct to enhance your credit score. The particular steps you will take will differ based on whether you try to do it yourself or use a professional agency.

How Does Credit Repair Service Work?

Professional credit repair agencies use credit legislation to identify whether adverse listings on your file is placed without a credit provider complying with the relevant laws. As they are specialists, these professionals know who to contact and what to look for to have any inaccurate listings removed from your file.

The process may be diverse between varied services, but it will typically include:

Initial Consultation. You may be provided with an initial consultation to understand the credit repair process. This is typically complimentary, and it is also to confirm whether the process will meet your requirements.

 

Review Your Credit File. After the consultation, your credit file is reviewed, and the first fee is charged. This step assesses incorrect listings that can be eliminated and actionable items that can be performed to improve your credit score.

 

Apply For Credit Repair, Formally. If you wish to move ahead, you must formally apply for a credit repair service. You will list the defaults you want to be investigated and cleared. However, you will need to pay a specific fee for each.

 

Reaching Out To Creditors. If the credit repair agency accepts your application, it will connect with creditors to evaluate which defaults can be withdrawn from your file. Some credit repair professionals may negotiate a payment plan with your lenders if you still owe an amount.

 

Negative Listings Are Removed. If successful, defaults are dismissed from your credit file. You will pay the fee for each successfully withdrawn negative listing.
