Bankruptcy Filing Tips

When we are young, we learn many lessons. But one thing we are rarely taught is the importance of having good credit. Young people do not realize the significance of having good credit and the difficulty of repairing bad credit. Not all bad credit is our fault though. Sometimes there are errors in reporting. So it is important to know what your credit report says. If you do come across an error, it is extremely important to dispute bad credit marks against you.

The first step is to get an accurate credit report. You are entitled to one free copy a year from each of the three major credit companies. Go over this report closely. You will be able to see both positive and negative marks to your credit score. If you find a mistake, then you need to immediately start taking the steps to repair it. This could take some time.

You can do the work to repair your credit yourself but it can be time consuming and it does take some expertise. You may want to consider hiring a reputable credit repair company or law firm to assist you. They cannot guarantee success but many of them do have a great track record for removing discrepancies and irregularities.

Whether you are doing it yourself or using a professional, if you need to dispute bad credit marks on your report, you need to begin gathering the documentation to help support your claim. Of course, keep any originals and send only copies. But anything from an incorrect address to misspelled name to the wrong amount owed can be disputed. Also, keep records of your disputes and the dates they were sent in.

After thirty days, contact the agency to find out about your dispute. This is the minimum amount of time the company needs to resolve the dispute. Sometimes, it may take even longer. If you do not hear a response from the creditor or agency within thirty days, the error will be removed from your report. This is true even if you are just disputing an address. If there is no response, then contact the three credit reporting agencies and tell them to begin the process of removing the bad credit.

After you take the steps to dispute bad credit marks, you will need another copy of your credit report. You will need this to make sure that the offending mark is actually removed. If it is still on there, you can once again dispute bad credit marks. But you will have to dispute them on another term. If you first disputed a wrong address, but they verified this information, you will need to find another way to dispute, unless you have more in depth proof that the company is wrong.

When you have to dispute bad credit, write a letter explaining the problem and send long with the proper documentation. Once this problem is cleared up, you can request that a letter be sent to those who have investigated your credit in the last six months. You can also call your creditor to dispute the problem. You may find that you actually do owe the money and you can work out an arrangement with the creditor to pay off the debt. Because they don’t often get any money that is usually owed to them, they are usually happy to settle. Be sure to get any agreement in writing.

Once an agreement is reached, you can ask them to report to the agencies to remove your information from the report or once it is paid off, to place your credit in good standing. After this step, request another copy of the credit report and make sure it has been removed. If it hasn’t, contact the company you are paying once again and make sure they pursue this.

You can remove charge offs from your credit report by utilizing some simple credit repair strategies.

What Is Required…??? Licenses, Etc?

I am going to be opening a call center but need a bit of help first. when i try to become a dealer or affiliate of certain services that i want to sell they ask the name of my company. well i am just setting up shop and not sure where to start. what do i need to get the “company” name and requirements and what about sales license etc. online? or do i need to go somewhere in person? appx $$$? services such as cable tv, satellite, tv, satellite radio, internet, phone, home security, mobile phone, maybe even credit repair, etc. all info would be greatly appreciated. i have been working in call centers for a while now and know what it takes to set one up and get the phones to ring and have people who know what they are talking about manning the phones

In most cities there is a free service called SBDC, Small Business Development Center. I am in the process of setting up my company. Seriously, they sit down with you, help you come up with a business plan, get you ‘free’ consultations with experts…example, they gave me the names of 4 lawyers in the area that work with SBDC, and I scheduled my appointment with the normally $170 per hour lawyer. He advised me, helped me decide what type of business to form…believe me, you won’t be disappointed and its a free service…Many of the people doing the consulting are former business owners and their experience and suggestions are very helpful…

They will tell you about any licenses or other requirements that you need to meet…go for it…
do a google and find one close to you…

How can I repair my bad credit when all my cards are on charge off status?

My debts are about 3 yrs old now, and in charge off status. When I called up the companies trying to pay off these debts, they kept sending me to different depts and finally I got tired of the runaround. I really want to get my credit back in shape but don’t know how to go about it. Any ideas?

A charged-off credit card means that your account is closed with the creditor and they have “charged-off” the debt as bad (uncollectable). They still expect you to pay the debt and can even file a lawsuit against you, but it all depends on how much debt are you talking about and what is your ability to pay? It’s worthless to sue someone who has nothing, if you get my point. However, many credit experts will argue that you are in the driver’s seat and you need to negotiate a deal which will do the following:

1. Only pay on debts that you can negotiate an amount and agree (in writing) with the creditor that they will not report it to the credit reporting agencies. Note: if you start making payments, this bad debt will stay on your credit report 7 years after your last payment. For example, if it took you 5 years to pay off this bad debt – it would impact your credit for an additional 7 years (in essence 12 years).

2. Negotiate with the owner of the debt – not the collector.

3. Use cash or pre-paid credit cards (stop charging).

4. Do research before you start paying on charged-off debts.
