credit repair

Credit repair can be a time consuming and ongoing time consuming task mentally.There are numerous credit consolidation companies out there,but that usually involves giving up credit card privileges for some time.However if you can do without there benefits for awhile, it might be worth your while to pay with cash,just to get the card companies off your back. Although these consolidation companies are going to charge a fee,it will be finally left up to you to decide whether the time, interest and bottom line benefit will be worth it. One thing I have never heard of is repossession through credit card companies. They would rather write you off and plaster your credit rating for 7 or 8 years. Bankruptcy these days is still an option,but as I understand it. It is after you have exhausted all other options.It is not as easy as it used to be.You will still have to wind up paying attorneys fees.Ironically, they will work on a payment basis. Credit repair after bankruptcy usually takes care of itself within three years, because by this time you have accepted two or three cards with higher than usual interest rates,which the card companies are all to willing to bombard you with right after your filing goes through.As long as you dont go overboard and keep the payments in line you will begin to build reasonable credit. Most government loan programs do not discriminate against a bankruptcy victim,although the paper work is much thicker than a ordinary lender.The interest rates are sometimes a lot better,because the government is backing the ordinary lending institutions in the first place. Budgeting,discipline and the willingness to bite the bone,so to speak are some of the daunting tasks involved in repairing ones credit.
