Five Common Myths About Credit

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

1.  You can improve your credit rating by closing your credit card accounts.

MYTH! Canceling your credit card influences the cutting down of credit age, which is one of the biggest influences of your credit rating. Your credit rating, as a result, will not increase even if you do opt to close your credit accounts.

2. Paying back installment loans helps improve credit ratings.

MYTH! Paying down installment loans will not improve your credit score. The information with effects on your credit rating is not the amount you paid for the loan, but the date you paid back the loan. The truth is, credit report agents are only interested in finding out whether you paid for your loan before the deadline or not.

3. Having only one credit score is natural.

MYTH! The truth is, you can get a maximum of three credit ratings. Each of the three major credit reporting agencies in the country has its own means of computing your credit rating. The figures prepared by the three companies translate to three credit ratings with slight differences. The three credit ratings are recognized by the Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), which is the organization that is responsible for the calculation of your FICO scores.

4. You can never remove a negative entry in your credit report until the seven-year requirement is up.

MYTH! A poor mark, whether it is a late payment item or an existing debt listing, can be eliminated from your credit report. You can initiate this by asking for a goodwill adjustment from your creditors or by testifying against the imprecision of your credit records.

5. Credit scores are increased if you hold your credit account balance.

MYTH! It is actually the opposite. It is totally all right to have credit card activity; however, it has no effect on your credit card balance. Keeping a particularly low balance or no balance at all is actually one of the best means to maintain a considerable credit rating and improve it.

Remove Late Payments From Your Credit Report Using Three Different Ways

Friday, November 21, 2008

Removing a late payment entry from your credit report, most especially if you do not have several late payment markings on the same credit account, is not so hard. You can always negotiate your way into the removal of the late payment record on your credit report. Here are three different methods which you can conveniently try to erase the late payment marks from your credit report:

1. Request a goodwill adjustment from your first creditor.

One of the easiest means to delete a late payment from your credit account record is to ask your original loaner for a goodwill adjustment. Goodwill adjustment is a process of altering your credit marking from "late" to "current." Asking for a goodwill adjustment from your loaners is easier if your payment records prior to the late payment are fairly impressive.

2. Work out a late payment removal by signing up for automatic payment services.

Another technique you can use to erase the late payment entry from that credit report is to sign-up for automatic payment services. Several loaners will help you erase the negative entries on your credit report only if you support their automatic payment service. The arrangement is actually beneficial for both: the creditor will obtain your payments on time and you will finish your financial responsibilities on schedule.

3. Present a lien stating that the late payment marking is inexact.

Disputing the inexactness of the details of your credit history is also a great means to eliminate the late payment entry on your credit report. Loaners, thanks to the large number of credit records they handle every day, have the tendency to have a difficult time affirming the details on your credit record. If the loaners fail to verify the accuracy of the late payment record, then that poor entry in your credit account will be erased.
