Building Credit Ideas
There are several ways that we can build credit. If you are
tired of collectors hounding you, or if you are frustrated that
no one will loan you money because you never had credit, it is
time to learn how to build your credit. First, and foremost
never purchase items you do not need. If you 'want', do not let
your wants wear you down and get you deeper in debt. If you are
searching to build credit and have no history at all, make sure
you have your priorities in order.
Bad Credit Building Credit
If you have, bad credit get a DO-IT-YOURSELF-Kit and gets the
balls rolling. You can go to your public library and get books
that will guide you through the steps of repairing your credit.
Most libraries allow you to copy and print forms that you must
fill out and then send to your credits.
There are systematic guides at your local library that has the
tools for instructor debtors how to write letters to creditors.
Letters are probably better than phoning creditors, since some
creditors could care less about your situation and may threaten
you.
Another good reason for writing letters is that (copy in
writing) is more valuable in a courtroom than a conversation on
the phone. If something is said or an agreement is reached and
the creditor later denies his or her claims then you can present
this to any courtroom and they will listen to you first.
Any documents that pertain to your credit history should be
stored in a safe area. If you send letters to your creditors
keep a copy of each letter sent and store it in a safe area. If
you notice any errors on your bills or credit, reports make sure
that you contact the appropriate professionals and dispute the
charges immediately.
If you have credit cards and used the card to purchase an item
or use a service and this person sold you a defected item or
else provided bad service, you DO NOT have to make payment
toward the charges. You do however have to dispute the charges
with the services or stores that sold you the product or
service.
If the sources refuse to give you an item usable, or else
reimburse you for a service or product you have the right to
deny payment. Once you have disputed the charges with the
sources you will then contact your card provider and let them
know what occurred.
If you are lucky enough to have a credit card with bad credit,
use the card to repay your debts and then meet the monthly
installments on the credit card each month. Ironically, you are
getting out of debt while going in debt deeper. It is a solution
when all else false. In other words, if you use the card to pay
your debts each month and then payoff your credit cards the
following month and then turnaround and uses the card to pay
that month bills....
Now you see where I am going. Credit cards have interest rates
so the bills each month on the card will increase.
No, Credit...No Problem
I do not need a credit line or credit card; I pay all my bills
each month with money. Is this you? Well then, you have the
obvious answer, but what if...
In today's world, we are moving into an era that requires us to
have at least one major credit card. When you phone any business
where you have debts, they will first ask you to pay with a
credit card.
If you go apply for a job, apartment, mortgage, car loan, or any
other credit line you most likely will get a rejection notice in
the mail. Most lenders will not give credit to anyone that has
no credit history.
The reason is that we are expected to establish a credit line
when we are teens, and if we do not the lenders are often
suspicious. The lenders do not have an idea and can only base
their judgments of you on assumptions.
Can I assume this person will make monthly payments on time? Has
this person taken for granted a loan from a friend or family
member in the past and there are no records available for me to
see if it is true? There are many reasons that lenders will
refuse you a loan if you do not have a credit history.
The best solution is starting up a line of credit now, pay off
your dues on time and avoid making purchases on items you do not
really need. Staying out of debt means regulating your money
each month and paying your bills on time.
