By building your credit rating back up again, you’ll regain many economic opportunities you lost when you dug yourself down into a poor credit rating.

There are two kinds of credit counseling agencies.

The first are credit repair companies that are profit-driven businesses. You want to avoid these for-profit credit repair companies. They have a reputation for being more expensive than the value of the service they offer. Some of these companies are full-on scams that will leave you worse off than you were before you got their help. They will offer advice that you can easily do yourself.

Credit Repair results are best accomplished with leverage. There is little use in engaging the massive credit reporting system without a clear and precise knowledge of the areas where you will be able to gain a foothold. The system is cumbersome and prone to indolence. Where there is no advantage to the credit bureaus to comply with your credit repair efforts they will certainly find a way to ignore even your most heartfelt pleadings. But use the law properly in your credit repair and you will move mountains.

Expect Resistance

The credit bureaus are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). It is both their gospel and a millstone around their neck. Most of the effective credit repair techniques that you will employ will utilize the routines and procedures mandated for the bureaus by the FCRA. And although the bureaus generally will comply they will not enjoy it and they may even resist. Your efforts must be made with an insight into the procedures that the bureaus have put into place in order to cooperate with the FCRA as well as their passive-aggressive techniques of resistance.

Section 611

The most relevant part of the FCRA to your credit repair project is Section 611. This outlines the responsibilities of any national credit bureau, including Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, to process consumer disputes of the accuracy of information appearing on their credit reports. In brief, the credit bureaus must complete the processing of your dispute within 30 days of receiving the dispute. Within that 30 day period is included 5 days in which the credit bureau must notify the furnisher of the disputed information.

This is about half the time it would take you to pay off your credit cards by making minimum payments. One of the positive aspects of credit counseling is your credit will remain intact.

A lien is a security interest held by a lender or service provider on an individual’s property, effectively turning the property into collateral pending payment of the outstanding amount owed. A lien may be consensually applied to property, as is often the case with mortgages (especially second mortgages) and “mechanic’s liens” related to financing property improvements.

A lien may also be non-consensually imposed, frequently by tax authorities to secure the payment of taxes and penalties owed or by the courts to secure the payment of amounts handed down in a judgment. Although there are many types of liens, all of which have different effects, most liens have three primary effects.

The first, and most important, effect is to create the possibility of the creditor or service provider taking control of the property if certain conditions are met. Unlike most Common Law jurisdictions, in the United States a lien generally does not result in the creditor taking actual possession of the property, but it can under certain circumstances. These circumstances vary by the type of lien in question, but the ultimate point is to give the person owed money a secure interest in the property. Some, though not all, liens are also exempt from being discharged even through bankruptcy proceedings.

Let’s start with the first – and that is trying to make countless in doubt entries.

One concept most have is they must to dispute with the big three all the destructive issues on their report. What does the act really say? What the act states is cleanly, if the disputed entry cannot be substantiated in 30 days is must be removed from the report. When most people glance at this, they believe they must argue every single issue on their credit history and the truth is you do not have to argue it all. Your just wasting your time doing that. Another oversight is you believe or others tell you to declare bankruptcy and it will clear up all the issues and this is NOT the case 80% of the time.

So who needs credit counseling? Anybody whose debt loads are running high and who are thinking of filing bankruptcy, need counseling with their finances. Counseling services are meant to negotiate with your creditor for lower payments. More and more counseling on credit services are seen as they are encouraged by the payment system that is called the ‘fair share’.

If you are able to handle your finances well and pay your bills in time you are one amongst those who don’t need counseling.

It almost seems like a step backwards. Why would we want to pay someone to learn how to keep our money, especially when what we want to do is not only find ways to keep it, but also learn how to increase it-to build wealth. But paying someone to learn how to do this just doesn’t seem right.

The thing that bothers me is that there are so many out there offering financial counsel—not to increase their clients wealth, but to increase their own wealth at the expense of their client.

Don’t get me wrong, good solid counsel is worth paying for. I just do not like when financial help is helping the one offering the help more than the one needing the help. In fact, helping someone implies that you have something they don’t. It is to help them get to where you are, rather than placing them a step away from getting to where they need to be.
