Repairing Credit
By: Jeffrey Broobin
One of the reasons it is a good idea to check your credit is to see if the
information is correct. Attorneys charge a great deal of money to remove
negative information from your credit report. It is also possible to repair your
credit even if the facts are correct. Creditors can damage your credit but there
are ways around this, and improve your credit score.
A) The creditor must re-verify their information in a timely manor to the credit
bureau. If they do not, which is often the case, their report can then be
deleted from your credit report.
B) Anything negative on your credit record can be removed by you at any time. If
you ask the credit bureau to reinvestigate and the item cannot be verified
within a certain period of time it must be removed from your Credit Report.
C) Sometimes challenged credit reports are removed by mistake or they don’t have
the time and simple remove them if your evidence is logical.
D) A bad credit report must be verified by the credit bureau, and if this is not
possible it must be removed from your record changing your credit score, even if
the information was correct.
E) Often old credit records cannot be substantiated and information is no longer
available after a few years.
F) All this can be done by anyone that is willing to spend the time and effort
to do so. It will depend on your economics and if it is cost effective to do it
yourself, or have an Attorney handle it.
