Improving Your Credit Rating

Some companies have the ability to directly communicate with the credit rating company and can effect changes. However, like you, I would be leery. Only you know the financial situation you are in, but if your credit rating is low, it indicates late pay, judgements and other issues that you should take care of, not get in deeper. If you have cleared all of the issues and it is less than two years since doing so, your effective rating may be higher. Just remember, you will be paying for whatever he is selling you, so make sure it is within your means and that you have a solid job. Maybe a used car, a house payment less than 1/2 of your pay would make sense at this time so that you can build your credit.

The simple answer is - spend and pay ! Most credit card companies will issue a card to a 'first-time user' without problems. Once you get the card - use it regularly, but pay off the balance as quickly as you can. Don't 'max it out' so you need to ask for more credit. That will start to build your credit history, and make more facilities available to you - such as cash advances, increased limits etc.

The only way to improve your credit score is to use credit and consistently pay the amount due. But this is not quick, it takes time.

The first thing to do is to pull a copy of your credit report. The credit report is the best tool for finding information on where to concentrate your credit rebuilding efforts.

Do you have credit card accounts reporting? If not you need two or three to ad the most points to your credit scores. You need to be added to a family members active and positive reporting credit card as an Authorized User. The older the account, the higher the limit, and the lower the usage on the account, the better.

A merchant card can be added that give a high credit limit with a score as low as 500 points.

Are the balances reporting on a number of cards approaching the maximum limit?

If so paying down these cards can build your credit scores. 5 or 6 maxed out credit cards can lower your scores 100 to 125 points.

Of course one of your best friend is TIME. You must keep all tradelines paid as agreed. A recent late will do much more damage than three missed payments 3 years ago.

As you review your credit report, are their accounts you don't recognize? You will need to dispute them with the bureaus or hire a company to do it for you.

Keeping current with bills, adding positive accounts and removing negative, inaccurate accounts or accounts belonging to some one else will re-build you credit.

No, inquiries from your credit report cannot be removed. They typically stay on your credit report for up to two years but only impact your credit score for the first 12 months. Multiple inquiries within a short period may have a temporary negative effect on your score.

Unfortunately, 578 is a really low credit score and will make it very difficult to qualify for a loan. Most places also require that you have held a job for at least three months in order for you to borrow. If you have the title to your car you may be able to get a loan that way. However, be careful as you will have an inflated interest rate and may be required to pay weekly on the loan.

Your best bet may be to try to find employment first and then going into your bank requesting a secure credit card or loan. This will typically require money upfront (varies by institution but is typically no less than $100) which they will hold for a given amount of time until you have established a solid payment history.

There are a few things that you can fix quickly, and a few things that only time can heal.

Firstly, get any credit lines paid down. Even if you pay on time every month, if you stay close to your credit limit, it hurts your score. Even using up to 80% of your credit limit can be damaging.

Pay off any outstanding bills. Take care of anything hanging out on your credit report.

After everything is paid off, you can request that it is removed from your report. Companies do not have to remove things, but some of them will cut you a break if you took care of your debt. It's not one you can count on, but it is worth the try.

After that, you have to maintain it. Keep your available credit nice and open. Keep paying on time. Don't get anything new on your record. If you can do this for a while, your score will start climbing.

Credit Cards can be an asset to your personal finances. You report your credit card company to regulatory or consumer rights agencies, if they engage in bad business practices such as abuse or unauthorized charges and contract amendments.

Pay your bills on time, use credit cards but do it wisely so that your rate of usage is low, and have credit accounts open for long periods of time.

It is impossible to determine the impact. In general more recent derogatory items have a larger impact on your score than older items. The impact to your score will also depend upon the length of history of other items, the number of other positive experiences, and your current payment status on existing credit relationships.

Most credit scores have at least twelve different scorecards used to calculate scores based upon: length of history, number of tradelines, current status, and historical delinquencies.

The largest denomination US banknote currently circulating is the $100 note. There used to be $500, $1000, $5000 and $10000 notes also, but they were phased out several decades ago because they made it easy for criminals to transfer large amounts of illegal funds.

There was also a $100,000 note intended for transfers between Federal Reserve banks (it never was in general circulation, and in fact it would have been illegal for a private individual to have one, since it was a gold certificate).
