To get a good credit score the first tip is to pay your bills on time. It does not matter how bad your credit history is you must pay all your bills on time.
Doing this will show a positive payment history on your credit. A positive payment history means almost as much as bad credit items, when your credit score is being determined.
It also matters how much time has passed between derogatory items on your credit report and when your score is calculated. After an amount of time, allegedly four years, negative items on your credit are not weighed as heavily. Thus it is very important for you to build a positive payment history.
Another tip equally important is to remove any inaccurate or unverifiable items. Our credit system is far from perfect and when mistakes are made your credit will pay the price.
Often a divorce will result in bad credit. The divorce judge will divide the debts between both parties. Then if one of the parties defaults on a loan, even though they were court ordered to pay, it will be reported on both parties credit.
When a lender makes a mistake it can result in bad credit for you. An example of this is when the amount due on a loan changes and you are not notified. You continue to make your regular payments yet your credit is being damaged every month.
If you identity is stolen this can be devastating to your credit. Another common source of inaccurate information is credit reporting errors. Thus you need to keep an eye on your credit report if you have a 500 credit score or a 700 score.
These are all inaccurate marks on your credit report. You should dispute and remove all of these marks.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act was passed and is continually amended by congress to help protect your rights. These negative marks are beyond your control and the FCRA was passed for these circumstances.
In order to file a dispute, a dispute letter must be sent to each credit bureau that reports the inaccurate mark. Then the credit bureaus will conduct an investigation and if the listing is found to be inaccurate or unverifiable it will be removed.
Credit bureaus will often respond to a dispute letter by asking for more information. If you have many negative marks then I suggest hiring a credit repair service. - 15224
