Free Credit Bureau Report – It May Be To Late To Get Your Report.. Or Is It?

28

Most people never think about their credit scores until it is to late. I had a friend by the name of Julia who completed an application for an apartment. Terminated her lease on the old apartment, and was days away from moving in. Then the phone rang! The apartment complex rejected her application due to her credit.

Julia called stressing out. She had know idea how to handle this unfortunate situation. I explained to her that, "The Fair Credit Reporting Act" allowed every American one copy of their report per year. After pulling her report Julia was shocked to find that not one of the negative marks on her report belonged to her.

Julia and I continued to the next step in the credit repair process. We identified each negative ding on her credit report. I advised Julia to go through her records and try to find any proof that would show that these were errors on her report.

Julia was almost ready to send off her letter of dispute. You must mail your letter of dispute by certified mail. This will be the only proof of the time and date in which you mailed your dispute claims.

If you fail to do this it may cost you dearly in the long run. The credit bureaus have 30 days to investigate your claims. If they fail to do so during that time by law they must remove the marks in question. The burden of proof is on you.

I hope that I got my point across in this article. I want you to understand that you are entitled to a free credit bureau report. I decided to share this information by sharing a real life story of a close friend of mine. However I strongly advise that you continue to educate yourself on the credit repair process.

[...] Credit Score, Credit Improvement, Credit Repair Tips and Resources wrote an interesting post today onHere's a quick excerpt In retail, speed of service is a significant factor in top line growth. More people though the lines equals more revenue for a given store. For large retailers, a small speed of service improvement at the point of sale translates to big dollars when you’re dealing with hundreds or thousands of locations.   One way to improve speed of service at the point of sale is to simplify the payment process. This is done by reducing the transaction down to the smallest number of steps. To illustrate this, [...]

I can guarantee you that — and it never happened — if the ship I served on while I was in The Navy ever got into such an unfortunate situation where it was taking on water and was going to sink (The ocean is ruthless, and unpredictable, and things can go sour REAL fas) t, I can guarantee that our Captain would not have not only made sure that everybody was off that ship, he would have gone down with it. I guarantee it. He frequently said "As Captain, My Crew and My Ship come first ". Anybody remember the Andrea Doria back in 1956 that was struck and sank following a collision with the Swedish ship "The Stockholm?" The Doria's skipper stayed with that ship until every soul was off before it ultimately rolled over and sank . I wouldn't disgrace title "Captain" or "Master" by calling this coward and idiot who ran his ship aground and was the FIRST one off the ship and was on land while people are trying to get off that ship a "Captain". What he is and what he did disgraceful and…

credit repair tips. Because how important would it be for you to have a self help program which promises to raise your FICOs in 45 days, double credit limits, get more cards, slash payments or stop collection calls and stop bankruptcy, paying cards off at 73% discounts, or eliminate $25K of them 100% with TILA, and much more. What if you said "bullcrap" to all of that. Maybe you think the answer is MORE INCOME not credit. Could you get excited about ending the day with $100 for every $10 you started with or $500 for every $50 – and that's just the start? You just found it…and we can prove it to you beyond a doubt. This is NOT about risky HYIPs – we're talking about a guaranteed formula because when you place small sums in certain places, you collect $100 to $1,000 every day without fail because it is NO gamble.
