Building Credit and Stopping Creditors
Building your credit is a sure-fired solution for stopping
creditors and collection agencies from nagging you every day. If
you are attempting to reestablish your status in life, you must
realize there is a bumpy road ahead. Creditors are people you
owe and if you do not pay, the creditors will go lengths to get
their money. Regardless of the laws and regulations stipulated
on credit bureaus, creditors, collection agencies, and other
sources that collect debt, many will break all the laws, simply
because they want their money.
Money has been the root of all humankind evil and when it comes
to money, everybody wants some. The best solution to stopping
creditors and collection agencies ahead of the game is to pay
those bills on time. If you have utilities, insurance policies,
car payments, mortgages, credit cards, and other debts you might
want to layout a budget plan that you can meet each month.
Combining all your payments will help you see where dangers lurk.
If you see, any potential risks ahead make sure to find a
solution ahead of the game to avoid creditors and collection
agency hassles. No one likes it when people nag us, but when we
owe money, you can bet your last dollar nagging is in the
making. Do not bite off more than you can chew. If you see that,
you are in debt deeper than you thought do not go out to the
department stores and shop until you drop.
This will only make matters worse and you are risking your
home, car, and other assets in the process. If you see that you
are in over your head or potential risks could develop, you
might want to get ahead by selling a few valuable items. When
you are paid for, the items make sure you apply the funds to
your bills, or else open a savings account that will benefit you
and your money. Savings that offer no start up fees or interest
against your money is the best solution for saving cash. If you
get money back or interest on your money in the bank, how much
better, you are making money. Money is what makes the world go
around, so if you can make money you will have a solution for
building your credit. The last thing you want is escalating to a
debt you can get out of and having creditors call you daily.
After creditors calls, then you will get calls from collection
agencies. After the two are done torturing you mentally, you
will have to deal with lawyers, judges, and other potential
threatening personnel. I point this out because many people do
not realize the severity of ignoring their bills. If you have a
good credit standing currently, it is wise to get copies of your
credit reports from the three B's.
Keeping your file on hand and current can help you to monitor
your credit scores. If you notice any activity on your report
that is against you and you did not agree to the debt, it is
important to contact the credit bureaus immediately. Your credit
is in all aspects of the word your life. If you have bad credit
you can be turned down from a job, denied a rental, or turned
down when you apply for any line of credit. If you have bad
credit you might as well blackball today.
There is hope however if you have bad credit. Government
agencies and private institutes are teaming up to help those of
us with bad credit. The impossible has happen, because now even
if your credit is bad you can get a loan, a home, car, or even a
credit card. Pre-paid cards are available to those with bad
credit. Pre-paid cards are the same in contrast as major credit
cards, only you apply money to the account, paying a low fee and
then you can use the card. The world is starting to recognize
the struggles that happen every day for many families and
individuals, the best solution however for stopping creditors is
to build your credit by paying those bills. Never give up hope!
