Credit repair: Why it is easier than you think!
All you have to do is write the letters. If you search “credit repair” on Google, you will probably find a government web site as the first link. It gives an example of a letter template. These are available at more websites than I know of. I have looked at many of them and used some of them. So, figuring out what to write in the letter is not difficult. I have not found many websites that give a template for how to send out the letters. This, also, is not difficult, but it seems to be either unknown or kept under wraps. I am not sure why.
The first thing you want to do is makes sure you have gotten the denial letter from whatever lender you requested credit from. Most people are interested in credit repair after they have been turned down for a loan, so I am assuming in this article that my reader is going to be most people. A person’s credit report doesn’t become a problem until it is causing a problem. So, you have the denial letter from your lender. Send the denial letter to all the credit reporting agencies with a request for your free credit report. Also, ask the lender who turned you down for a copy of your credit report. If they give you a hard time, you might have to get a copy on your own. Most lenders will send you a copy of the report. You might also ask the lender to put a mark next to anything derogatory on your report. This will help you identify what you should consider disputing. Use the credit report provided by your lender to create your dispute letters. Send the dispute letters out in the mail a few days after you send in the request for the free reports.
There is a specific way to send in the credit dispute letters: you must include an ID page. The ID page should be one page with a photo copy of your driver’s license, your social security card, and a utility bill. Make sure all the addresses are the same and that they are your current address. (If your license does not have your current address on it, you need to get that fixed.) Make sure the copy is legible. Driver’s licenses do not copy very well. Social security cards have a tendency to be worn out and unclear. It is very important that the person working for the credit bureau can read your documentation. They need to be sure it is definitely you sending the letter. They like to throw out anything they can as they get thousands and thousands of pieces of mail a day and they don’t want to mess with anything that is not presented properly. Send a copy of your ID page with every single letter. Couples should not mix their ID pages or their letters together. Credit repair is done individually!
Once you have done all this – sit back and wait. Watch your mail as your results will come in! Pay attention to what you get. If you have done something wrong, they will tell you and you will need to correct your error. Be prepared to get a lot of mail!
