Repair Your Credit, Build Your Survival Foundation
Why is it important to have good credit? With today's society
becoming more and more business oriented, establishing and
maintaining good credit is vital if you plan to do any of the
following:
1. Apply for employment 2. Rent an apartment 3. Open a bank
account 4. Setup an account with public service or the telephone
company
It used to be that establishing good credit was important only
if you planned to buy a home or car, but not anymore. The
simplest task, such as applying for employment could very much
mean that you need good credit.
Having bad credit could impede your ability to survive. This is
sad to say, but it is a proven fact that people have been turned
down top quality job positions just because of their credit
rating despite the fact that that particular job could be
exactly what a person needs to fix their credit. That's a scary
catch twenty-two don't you think?
Ok, I'm caught in that scary catch twenty-two, what do I do?
Start by requesting a copy of your credit report in writing. You
are entitled by Federal Law to receive a free annual credit
report. There are three major credit-reporting agencies that you
need to contact, you can run a search on the internet or find
their information in a phone book. If you have already received
a credit report for that year, you may also use any letter of
credit denial by sending in a copy of that letter within 60 days
of its receipt with your written request. Be sure to include a
copy of your state issued ID, proof of your address and your
last known addresses for the past 5 years. It is very important
to include a copy of your social security card.
What does is mean to have good credit? Who cares who sees it?
Unbelievably, your credit report is public information to
anybody where you are asking for a line of credit. Any time you
apply for employment, an apartment, or attempt to make a big
purchase, you are asking for credit and permitting the potential
creditor to view your credit report. Although your credit report
does not reveal a personality diagnose, it may just as
Obama Seeking $50 Billion For Infrastructure
The investments in the nation's roads, railways and runways are part of a package of targeted proposals that must be approved by Congress, which is highly uncertain at a time when many legislators and voters are worried about adding to federal deficits.
Why Aren't Employers Hiring?
The unemployment rate rose to 9.6 percent last month, with big political implications ahead of November elections. If the job market is ever to improve, employers will have to start feeling a lot more confident about where the economy is going. So what will it take for them to create jobs?
well,
considering it is through your credit report how others
(potential creditors) will perceive what kind of person you are.
Businesses look into your credit report and determine by your
ability to pay and follow through on your promises what kind of
person you are. Do you adhere to your promises? Are you stable,
do you follow through on payments? If so, then you most likely
are a good and reliable person. You may be worth giving a chance
at that perfect job, or residing in that particular community.
What about good people with bad credit? You may be a good
person, you may even be the most considerate and compassionate
person alive; however, if your credit report shows a late
payment or no payment on an account at all, your entire being
could be perceived as not reliable, unstable and untrustworthy.
Prepare yourself to deal with a lot of paper work and phone time
once you are ready to repair your credit. What does this mean?
How can I protect my reputation? What this means is that it is
time for you to fix your credit. Your income may be null or
limited, that's ok, there is still a way to save your personal
reputation and open more doors of opportunity. Once you receive
your credit report(s), contact the creditors listed and make
payment arrangements, even if it is just $1-$5 a month. Doing
this shows your willingness to get back on track, it show that
you are putting effort towards establishing stability and
responsibility.
Whom can I turn to for help? There are many resources available
to assist with credit repair, make use of your library or the
internet. Most credit repair agencies offer free services, take
advantage of their offers and assistance. Building your credit
is more than being able to make a big purchase, it also means
you are establishing your personal reputation and setting your
survival foundation.
