5 Misconceptions about Credit Repair

If restoring your credit is your priority, do your homework about credit repair companies. Since the internet is so large and diverse, many online companies can mislead you about the “real” credit restoration process.  Credit repair takes time, dedication and discipline.

Not all credit repair companies are treated equal; there are some excellent credit repair companies that have helped thousands of customers across Florida and nationwide. Select a company that customizes your restoration with a hands on approach, rather than wasting time by selecting an online generic restoration company that utilizes a computer generated system to spit out your disputes.

 The 5 Common Misconceptions about Credit Repair: Know the facts before you enter any credit restoration program.

•  Misconception #1: Do it Yourself Credit Repair Kits Work. False, they are a waste of money. It’s always better to hire a professional like a credit repair expert, than trying to do it all on your own. You will not get the great results on your own especially if you have a deficiency or a current late payment within the last 12 months, as you would if you were to hire a professional that specializes in credit restoration.
• Misconception #2: Hiring a Credit Restoration Company will hurt my Credit Score. False, Credit restoration is a team effort between you and the Credit Restoration Company, communication is the key to your credit repair success. The only person that can hurt your credit score is yourself by being late on your payments, obtaining new credit during the credit restoration process and new credit inquiries.
• Misconception #3: Deleted Derogatories will re-appear on my Credit report.  False, once a derogatory is legitimately removed, it’s gone for good. Approximately one in five Americans contain an error on there credit report, always check your credit; there are no penalties inquiring about your credit report at Experian
• Misconception #4: Filing Bankruptcy will help my Credit. False, filing Bankruptcy is one of the worst things you can do to your credit and credit score. Only file bankruptcy if you honestly can’t afford settling and paying back your debt due to a substantial decrease in salary or a medical hardship or a failed business partner. Is Bankruptcy Right for You?
• Misconception #5: New Credit will supersede my existing aged bad credit. False, overall good credit is the key to any loan approval and also new employment. If you have derogatories within the past 24 months on your payment history, this will negatively impact your credit score.  A late payment history can negatively affect an underwriting decision when charge offs, repossessions, deficiencies and collection appear on your credit report and may alter your loan approval for a business loan, home loan or auto loan.
