Credit Repair Programs And Services

In these economic hard times its easy to get too deep into debt and lower your credit score thanks to late or past-due payments.

First, you should obtain a copy of your credit report. The US government offers a free credit report to anyone on an annual basis through the Federal Trade Commission. You can check your credit report for free, see what creditors see, and find inaccuracies to fix.

After you see your report you will see where your score fits in with financial institutions.  Scores are generally regarded by banks and creditors this way: 500-600 is low, 601-750 is average, and 751-800 is excellent. If you make your payments on time but your credit report states "past-due" or "not current", you should look for inaccuracies; failing that, try working with a credit repair company who can work with your creditors and credit rating agencies.

Lexington Law is one of the companies that can help you fix your credit report. They work with credit companies, financial institutions, and credit bureaus to make sure payments are reported correctly and they offer programs to help you fix any inaccuracies or mistakes that are hurting your credit.

In addition, they can assist in being sure that incorrect items, like public records or liens on your credit report, are removed. When you want to get new credit it is very important to have a credit report that is correct.  A credit company or bank may not approve you for a new credit card or automobile loan-even a mortgage, if there are errors on your credit report.

If you find you are having problems paying off your debt, this credit repair company also is associated with many affiliates who work with you through a debt consolidation process. These associates will work with creditors for you on your behalf, and ask for a decrease in the interest rate. If they will accept part of the entire amount due instead of the full amount due, they also negotiate with your creditors to come up with a lower owed debt amount.

A debt consolidation loan is another option, where one umbrella loan makes payment toward your debt and you make one payment to the company that gave you the loan. If you have high debt, it will most likely take years to pay off. So it is best to first see if debt consolidation will help you. As your debt is reduced, Lexington Law fights to get your debtors to report the payments correctly.

It's easy to get into debt. Getting out of it and making sure we don't harm our credit report or credit score can be a little tougher. If you find you are unable to manage your debt or need help in working to improve your credit report, why not contact a credit repair company like Lexington Law? With their efforts and your commitment to pay at a pace you can afford, you can be debt free in no time and have your credit restored.
