Not long ago, about the only financial problem I had not run into was bankruptcy (although I was considering it at one point). But with a little patience and persistence - and some help from the "do-it-yourself" credit repair tips below - eventually I got almost all of the negative items off my credit report (which happened because of a business idea that did not work out), including:

• late payments

• settlements

• chargeoffs

• and a collections account

With the right information, and a little effort, you can improve your credit score, and get yourself back on the right track.

Here's A Helpful Step-By-Step "Do-It-Yourself" Guide For Removing
All Kinds Of Bad Credit From Your Credit Report!

Unfortunately, many people mistakenly believe that once you have a late payment, chargeoff, or other problem that it automatically has to stay on your credit report (and that it must stay there for a long time!) And that's exactly what the credit bureaus want you to think.

Fixing your past money problems and improving your credit rating is really not that hard - all you need to know is how to do it. It sometimes takes more than one try, so make sure to keep trying until you get the results you want. Here are the steps you should follow to clean up your credit problems:

1. Get a FREE copy of your credit report.
   
   If you've ever had trouble paying your bills, chances are very good you'll have at least some negative information on your credit report! Start by getting a copy of your credit report and find out exactly what's damaging your credit. You can order your report online from the only site authorized by the 3 major credit bureaus (most of the ads offering a "free' credit report actually require you to pay for a monitoring service!) If you have not received a copy of your credit report lately, then you should order a copy as soon as possible!
   
   

2. Review your credit report very carefully!
   
   Then look very carefully at everything that's on your report. Because statistics show that a large percentage of credit reports contain errors that are lowering your score. Make a list (or highlight) all the errors and negative items, so you can keep track while fixing your credit. You should also pay attention to your personal information (name and address, social security #, job history, etc.), as you want your credit report as accurate as possible (and you can use these types of errors to help you get other bad credit taken off).
   
   

3. Dispute the negative information that you want removed.
   
   Next, take your list and dispute any item that does not belong on your credit report, or that's hurting your score. If you're not sure how to go about writing the dispute letters, the Attorney's Guide To Credit Repair will show you a proven step-by-step formula developed by professional Credit Repair Attorney David Shapiro that you can use to fix your credit.
   
   

4. Keep trying!
   
   If you can't get the bad stuff off your credit report right away, keep trying! The strategy I used was to dispute one error at a time - it may take a little while to do it this way, but it worked for me (see my credit repair results).
   
   

5. Review your credit report every year!
   
   Even when you get your credit back to normal, it's a good idea to check your credit report once a year, just to keep it that way!
