July 17, 2009, Newsletter Issue #173: How To Improve Bad Credit
Tip of the Week
When considering how to improve bad credit, start by identifying what the items are. A bankruptcy, for example, is something you can’t change. In fact, it can remain on your report for up to 10 years (depending on which type you filed). Other items, like collections and chargeoffs (bad credit considered uncollectible), may remain on your credit history even after you have paid them off. In cases like this, you can contact the creditor and explain you want to do a repair credit report. They may be willing to update the information and remove the negative. Whether or not they will change your credit report to remove the negative is ultimately up to them so don’t count on getting it off there.
