Does using finance companies instead of banks or mortgage companies adversely affect your credit score?

Your credit score could be adversely affected by using 2nd tier lending sources, such as finance companies for loans. If you successfully repay the loan and it reflects as a positive account, it will not generally reduce your score, but it may not provide much of a boost either. If you do miss a payment, it substantially reduces your score. Using finance companies is a signal to credit bureaus that you are either unable to obtain a traditional mainstream loan or that you are making a bad choice. Your credit scores will generally drop when obtaining finance loans.

Unless you contact the creditor in advance, you may get charged with a late fee if the minimum is not posted to your account by the due date. Make sure to get in contact with the credit card company if you are going to be short or late on any payments. Most will either put a temporary freeze on your account (not charge anything until you can pay it down again), post the minimum for you if you are enrolled in a payment protection service, or waive the fee for you. However, they will not do this if you fail to call ahead of time...

A charge off is a term that refers to an amount of debt that is unlikely to be paid back. A charge off is then listed on a person's credit report and also on credit bureau reports.

How do you remove charge offs from a credit report?

Charge-offs remain on your credit report for 7 years. If the account has been included in a bankruptcy, it should be marked as such...."included in bankruptcy". However, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if you dispute the charge-off with the credit bureau and the creditor can not verify the account, it must be removed from your credit report immediately. Only the original creditor or the credit bureaus can remove a charge off, either through negotiations or through the dispute process.
