Credit bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) generally consider a score of 650 or higher to have good credit standing.
Credit bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, Experian) generally consider anything below 580 to be bad or poor.
Your FICO® score is used in 90% of all credit decisions, but each of the three credit bureaus also has an individual credit score based on your credit information.
The most significant credit scores range from 300 to 850.
A credit bureau is a company that collects information about your financial habits and makes this information available to lending institutions and credit card companies.
Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian are the three main credit reporting agencies.
A creditor/credit provider is a person/institution who provides credit. This includes banks, debt collection agencies, and even car dealerships. They report your repayment history to the credit bureaus, who then use this information to build your credit profile.
There are many paid services that can provide you with your credit score, but at US Credit Repair Co. we can do it for free. Contact US @ ------------
No, your credit score is just one part of your credit report. Your credit information also includes your identification information, trade line, credit history, credit inquiries, public information, debt collection information and other late payment information. Read more about credit reports.
Five main factors affect your credit score: payment history, credit usage, credit age, credit range and recent credit. The most important of these is your payment history, which can be directly affected by credit repair.
Your credit report includes, for example, your identifying information, trade limits, credit limits, account names, credit history, credit inquiries, public information, traditions, late payment information and, of course, your credit score.
Federal law allows employers to see a redacted version of your credit report for hiring and promotion purposes, although in California this is limited to jobs with financial or managerial responsibilities. Your employer or potential employer must get your permission before using your credit report, but yes, it could cost you a job or a promotion.
While your credit age or how long you've had credit can affect your credit score, there is no specific length of time required. Generally, the longer you've had a trading line, the better.
There are many factors that go into getting approved for a loan, but generally you need a score of at least 620 to get approved for a mortgage. Some lenders will accept scores as low as 500, assuming you don't mind paying extra money in interest.
The amount of the minimum score accepted in car loans depends on the amount of money applied for. Some lenders will accept scores as high as 500 if you don't mind paying the extra interest, but a score of 660 or higher is recommended.
The amount of the minimum score approved for personal loans depends on the amount of money requested. A score of 700 or higher is ideal, but some lenders will accept lower scores if you're willing to pay extra in interest.
Your credit report is generally checked by those considering lending you money. These include banks, car dealerships and credit card issuers.
There are five factors that affect your credit score – payment history, debt amount, credit history length, credit mix, and new credit. To improve your score, you can pay your bills on time, reduce debt, manage your checking accounts, get different types of credit, and avoid applying for new loans frequently.
Aside from these five factors, your credit reports can contain negative elements that are unfair or inaccurate and can remain in your reports for up to seven to ten years. If you don't want to wait that long to build up your credit, you can try to repair it today. Learn more about building credit or call US Credit Repair Co. @ ----------- to get started.
Your FICO® score is a three-digit number determined by the information on your credit report. While FICO® does not collect the data itself, its algorithm determines your score. Considering their score is used in 90% of all credit decisions, it's very helpful to know where you stand.
By law, the credit bureaus must provide you with a free credit report every 12 months. You can request this free credit report at http://www.annualcreditreport.com/ or by calling 1-877-322-8228. You must provide your name, address, social security number, and date of birth to verify your identity.

Credit repair is the process of addressing questionable negative elements that could harm your credit profile. If the bureaus and your creditors cannot demonstrate that these items are fair, accurate, and reasonable, they have a legal obligation to remove them.
While we cannot guarantee that your creditworthiness will be restored, we can promise to help you correct any unfair or inaccurate negative items affecting your credit profile.
Unfortunately, there is no way to predict in advance how long it will take for your credit to be restored because each credit report is unique. That being said, in the last year alone, our clients have removed millions of negative items from their reports and typically stayed with us for six months.

Yes. You have a legitimate and legal right to a fair, accurate and reasonable credit report. Credit repair is simply the process of challenging and disputing questionable negatives on your report to ensure these three standards are met - fairness, accuracy, and rationale.
Although many laws apply to your credit, the two laws we use the most are the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Credit bureaus and your creditors are required by law to remove any negative elements from your report that they cannot prove to be accurate, fair, and reasonable. When these items are deleted from your payment history, we call this a removal.
Any negative point that is inaccurate, unfair, or unverified can be challenged with the bureaus and your creditors. This includes collections, late payments, direct debits, liens, bankruptcies, garnishments, and more.
A negative point in your credit score is anything in your credit history that could lower your score. This includes things like collections, late payments, direct debits, liens, bankruptcies, garnishments, and more. Especially if these negative elements are the result of identity theft, divorce, sick leave debt, college students, or military furlough, you may be able to remove them through credit repair.
No. Most negative items will be deleted from your report after seven years, although some deletions may take up to 10 years. The truth is that the lender or credit bureau can delete the negative credit list at any time, especially if you give them a reason to do so. If you'd rather not wait that long, credit repair is a great alternative.
Yes, even after an item has been removed or deleted, your creditors can still report the item. That's why it's important to contact both the credit bureaus and your creditors. This increases the likelihood that inaccurate or unfair negative items will not appear on your credit again. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that the credit bureau informs you before re-reporting a previously deleted listing. If a questionable credit is verified at a later date, US Credit Repair Co. will help you to dispute the listing again if there are valid reasons to do so.
A single negative item on your credit could diminish your score by over 100 points.
Although filing for divorce will not affect your score, some of the symptoms of divorce can lead to problems with your credit. For example, many people miss a payment on their credit during the frenzy of divorce. Or in the aftermath, it may be unclear who is responsible for paying a debt and payments may be missed. These missed or late payments can have a negative impact on your credit score.
When someone incurs debt on your behalf, it increases your debt utilization ratio and is likely to result in missed payments and possibly charges on your credit. Even after restoring your identity, these issues may still lurk on your credit report.
Although your medical history is not part of your credit report, overdue medical bills can affect your credit. The good news is that there are laws to protect against certain medical debt reporting practices. If your credit is negatively affected by medical bills, credit repair may be just the right thing for you.
Yes, negative and positive. Paying off student debt on time will only improve your score. Or failure to make these payments could seriously damage your credit profile.
If the collection is not being falsely attributed to you, it is only wise to pay it. The collection has probably already hurt your credit score and leaving it unpaid will only make the damage worse.
If the debt is debt that you do not owe, our services offer debt validation procedures that will help you remove the collection from your credit profile.
Unfortunately, it will not. When you pay off old debt, the negative credit item does not or will not disappear, but is typically recorded as a paid default, debt, or collection.
