Yeah, these myths has been spread very fast, and there are some trues you really need to know, once of the best examples is that you need a professional agency to do it for you, even they can help you to do it, you can do it for yourself. I did it so can you!, our next step will be to revel the truth from some of the most common myths about credit repair and debt consolidation issues. Myth 1: I can't do it by myself, professionals needs to handle this situation. You may need help in many areas of your life, but credit repair and debt consolidation is not one of them, believe me you can do it, if I did it you can do it too. I still remember the first time I saw my credit report I realize I had some late payments, a judgment and some other stuff, in that moment my first thought was "I need immediate help with this" after getting some good education on the topic I was able to do it all by myself and now I am going to give you the best education possible on these topics (debt consolidation, credit repair, and debt management)so you can face this problem by yourself. After I had my credit report in my hands I start watching some huge mistakes, some of these mistakes were from the creditor, some other were from the credit bureau, and after making some more research I realize that anywhere from 75% to 90% of credit reports contain errors. This is the Myth # 2: You can not fix your bad credit. Absolutely wrong. Having a bad credit does not mean that you can not fix it, it may take some time to fix it, but you can repair it, get positive lines of credit and have a new start, get your self in the right track to good credit. I remember how with a 520 credit score I was turned down for a credit card at Banana Republic in front of everybody in a very important Holiday, yeah pretty embarrassing but remember if I could do it you can do it too, It is just a matter to get educated and my videos will show you how to get the education you need to repair your credit. The myth # 3: One credit Score is all you have. You have 3 credit scores, not just one, each one of this credit scores is from the major credit reporting agencies. all 3 will show different scores, that is why when applying for a credit one company may use one report while other company may use a different one, it is always a good idea to get the 3 reports from the different bureaus because they can have serious diferences. The 4 Myth: If you check you credit this will lower your score. There are different types of inquiries: soft inquiries and hard inquiries, the hard inquiries are the ones that will affect your credit score and these are done from the companies you wish to get the credit from, the other inquiries does not affect your credit score and those are the inquiries where you just want the information for promotional porpoises. Myth # 5: Your score will be lower if you are shopping around for a Loan. This is one of the most common myths, remember that if you are looking for a credit from several vendors (mortgage, car loans, home loans, etc...), all this inquiries will appear in your credit report just once but remember that this just apply if the same kind of inquiry is made within 14 days, the only exception to this rule are credit cards. The myth # 6: Remove ll the negative items is the only way to improve my score. This is true, but ONLY one piece of the credit repair puzzle. Although, getting negative items removed from your score will raise it, building "positive credit" is what will build your score further. Have you ever been turned down for having no credit? In other words, you don't have any "positive credit" built up with credit card companies. "How to reduce the interest rate in your credit card with just one phone call" It's actually quite simple. How to do it you ask? Break out your telephone, call them, and ask to reduce your interest rate. Mention that you have sitting in front of you, a credit card with a lower interest rate. Possibly a zero percent interest rate for 6 months, which then turns into a 8% rate. If your current rate is 22%. A simple call will lower it. Mention that you are looking to balance transfer unless they lower your interest rate. Be nice to the operator. If they cannot drop the interest rate, speak to the supervisor. In most cases, after speaking with the supervisor they will drop your rate. To threaten to leave is the key.
