Yup, there are some myths. Some may shock or even anger you, but it is a message that must be told. For example, you probably think you can’t do it yourself and you NEED a professional agency to do it for you. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I did it and so can you! Let’s dive into some of the most common myths people have about credit repair.

Myth 1: I need help…I can’t do it Myself

As with many things, we need help once in a while, but credit repair is certainly something that you can do quite easily on your own with a little elbow grease and time. When I first looked at my credit report back in January 2007, I saw some late payments, a judgment, and some other “not so good” marks on my credit report. I screamed, “I’ve got to get a credit agency to help me with this! There’s no way I can do this myself!” Yeah, so I thought. How did I do it myself? I got educated that’s how. And now, you are going to get the best education on how to repair, rebuild, and maintain your credit score. After some time of taking a more in-depth looking into my credit report, I noticed some huge mistakes by either the creditor or credit bureau. These were not my mistakes, but the mistakes of “The Man.” I found mistakes on multiple accounts, ranging from multiple late payments, wrong accounts, to closed accounts, when in fact they were open. Turns out, it’s estimated that anywhere from 75% to as many as 90% of credit reports contain errors.

Myth 2: You Can’t Fix Bad Credit

Not at all, having a bad credit rating does not mean you can’t fix it, it may take you some time to do it, but you can definitely do it. There are several avenues to repair your credit, build positive lines of credit and returning to the good credit path. One of my most embarrassing stories occurred when I was applying for a Banana Republic card and I was denied in the middle of a very important Holiday. Improving your credit is just a matter of getting the right education on the right topics and with my videos you will get all the education you need.

Myth 3: You Just Have One Credit Score.

You have 3 credit scores, not just one. Each one of these credit scores is from the major credit reporting agencies. All 3 will show different scores, that is why when applying for credit one company may use one report while another company may use a different one. It is always a good idea to get the reports from the 3 different bureaus because they can have serious diferences.

Myth 4: If you Check Your Credit This Will Lower Your Score.

There are two types of inquiries that will appear on your credit report: hard and soft inquiries. Hard inquiries are from companies you wish to get credit from. These will affect your credit score. Soft inquiries are usually when you check your credit report online or from companies obtaining your information for promotional purposes. Soft inquiries don’t affect your score.

Myth 5: If you are shopping around for a Loan your score will be lower.

This is a very common myth, if you are searching for a mortgage, home equity loan, or car loan and you apply to multiple vendors this will only appear on your credit report once. This only applies if the same kind of inquires are made within 14 days of each other. Unfortunately, this doesn’t apply for credit cards!

Myth 6: The Only Way to Improve My Score is To Remove All Negative Items

This is a partially true, because “erasing” your bad marks is just one piece of the credit repair puzzle, remember that while removing “negative items” will help you in your credit score, just building “positive credit” will take your score further. Remember when you were denied from a credit card company because you did not have credit? the truth is that you did not have positive credit built up with credit card companies.

“How to reduce the interest rate on your credit card with just one phone call”

It is more simpler than you think; here is what you have to do: Get your telephone, dial their number and ask them to reduce your interest rate!!! just like that, by the way, tell them that you have sitting in front of you a credit card with a lower interest than the one they are offering you. Maybe a zero percent rate for the first 6 months, which after that period will turn into an 8% rate. If you have a higher rate this technique will help you to lower it. Tell them that you are thinking of transferring your balance unless they decrease your interest rate, if you don’t get a deal with the operator ask to talk with the supervisor, in most cases the threat to leave them is the key.
