HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Repairing bad credit is a bit like losing weight; it takes time and there is no quick fix. Be wary of
companies that tell you that they can fix your credit fast. The best way to improve your credit is
to manage it responsibly yourself and in time your score will improve.
Make a budget in writing and stick to it is some common sense advice. You may not want to
hear it but good credit management is just common sense. Pay your bills on time and keep your
balances low and your credit will improve.
If you have an account in the hands of a collection agency, pay that one off first. It may not
increase your credit score immediately but it shows that you are taking responsibility and
living up to your contract.
Check your credit score. You can check it for free on CreditKarma.com. If you find mistakes in
your credit report, dispute them with the credit bureau and the company that reported the
incorrect information.
Reduce the amount of debt that you owe. Stop using those credit cards and start paying them
off. After you have taken care of any accounts in collection, pay as much as you can possibly pay
on the highest interest card. Then tackle the next highest interest rate card and keep doing this
until your accounts are paid off. Keep your lowest rate card to use sensibly and don’t max it out.
We all need a credit card for certain things like booking a hotel room.
Along with writing out a budget make a monthly checklist and check off each account as it is
paid and enter a balance still owed. This will let you see your progress and inspire you to keep
working on improving your credit score.
