Just one rule- Never buy what you cannot afford to pay off at the end of the month.

Also- if you are going to go overdrawn contact your bank.

Are credit repair companies legit and do they really help?

May 3rd, 2012

Question by soonerfan0808: Are credit repair companies legit and do they really help?
I am trying to raise my credit score quickly. Right now I am at 593-around 650 depending on agency. So, by paying off the 5 credit cards that I currently have(some with amounts ranging from 1,500-2,500), should that raise my credit score a great deal? If not, will a credit repair company help or are they just a scam?

Answer by 2craz4u
Credit repair companies are in the business of making money and they will not be able to raise your FICO score. They really are for people who can’t handle their finances and need help making a budget and cutting up credit cards.

Answer by Joe 64
With a credit score that low, you have a lot of work to do, pay all your back bills and start paying all of your bills on time, some of those things take 7 years to get off of your credit report.

How should I begin to write a business plan for a credit company?

April 28th, 2012

Question by Bug: How should I begin to write a business plan for a credit company?
It’s an assignment for a class, and I need some assistance in how to start it out.
I would like to it be an LLC and have affordable hourly rate services for our customers.
The company will help people in post-bankruptcy counseling and coach the people back to financial health by giving them strategies and advice for the future.
The company will also provide a service to the human resource departments of companies and coach employees encountering financial difficulties. (this service will be contracted and billed directly to their employer)

Also, this company will contact the local newspaper and volunteer a monthly column on credit tips ~ this would help educate the people and promote his business.

Any advice and or other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!

I am aware that I can do this myself but I don’t have time to do it myself. Can anyone refer me to a good legit credit repair service. This question is ONLY for people who have used a credit repair service so please don’t answer if you haven’t used one. I don’t have any bankrupt or liens or anything that serious, but I do have a lot of collection, late payments, 1 charge off, and 1 repossession and a lot of inquires.

Credit help!?

April 24th, 2012

Question by Dee: Credit help!?
Is there a certain in the month to pull credit for higher scores? I have noticed that my scores drop around the 1st and the 15th of the month. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by anifak
This is interesting. Try pulling your scores at the end of the month, 10 days after paying your credit card bill(s) and not having charged your cards, your score should theoretically be higher.
