What You Should Know About Credit Report Repair

By: Ray Lam

When doing credit report repair, you can find all kinds of advice on how to send your letters. If you are surfing the web looking for information about credit report repair, you will find free credit report repair letters at several sites, but you will also find that there are software programs with "fill in the blank" type letters. Before you buy one of the many credit report repair kits that are available on-line, there are certain sites you should visit to view and print the information that is included on your credit report.

One of the credit report repair secrets that companies are selling is information about obtaining your credit report. Some companies charge for credit report repair information, giving you what amounts to helpful hints; where to get your credit report; how to write a letter and other so called credit report repair information that you can find on your own for free. If you have any "proof" that the information is inaccurate, (statements, cancelled checks, the "proof" depends on the individual item) list it here and enclose a copy of this material with your credit report repair letter.

Credit report repair companies require an installment payment in the beginning and a monthly competitive fee thereafter. Not surprisingly, Equifax, Experian and Trans Union do not approve of credit report repair companies. Acting on your behalf, the credit report repair service takes your credit report, and using the fair credit reporting act and planned strategies, dispute any negative item on your credit report history that you have selected. Some companies may even offer an upgraded service to continue monitoring your reports for other negative damage to come. This option of credit report repair is far more expensive but is not as time consuming or nerve racking as filing and handling the disputes yourself.

If any information on your credit report is inaccurate, out-dated, unverifiable or misleading, you can dispute this information. The portion of the FCRA which relates directly to attempts to legally repair credit scores has to do with disputing inaccurate, unverifiable, misleading and outdated information included in one's credit report. The next thing to learn about how to repair credit scores is how to report inaccurate information.

If you really don't want to repair your credit by yourself, you can pay a credit repair company to do it for you. Be careful though. There are many credit repair scams out there that you need to watch for. I don't recommend paying a credit repair company, because you are at a higher risk for identity theft by giving strangers your personal information. If you really want to pay a company, make sure you do proper research and investigate these credit repair companies before diving into it too fast.
