Credit report scores tell lenders who you are

Free Credit Clean Up No Credit Needed

Cleaning Up Your Credit Report

A good score helps you get the best loans. The loan officer will be glad to see you because you will:

  • Qualify for a larger loan
  • Get a loan faster
  • Get the best interest rates.

There are basically three ways to clean up your credit report.

  • Dispute You can dispute items on your credit report. This may or may not remove the item from your report.
  • Negotiate Arrange with your creditor to pay off the debt in exchange for them requesting the credit bureaus to remove the negative item.
  • Pay and Wait Pay off the debt and wait (up to 7 years) for the item to be dropped.

In addition, a bankruptcy can remove negative items, but the bankruptcy can remain on your report for 10 years.

Truth About Free Credit Reports

We appreciate your desire to obtain a free credit report. The fact is that maintaining credit histories and providing reports to people is a business. No business that survives can give away its products for free.

Every web site providing "free" credit reports works with the three credit reporting bureaus. These sites can only offer you a brief review of your report. Most offer a free 3 day or 30 day view of your report from one of the three credit reporting agencies.

Creditors may not send reports of your credit transactions to all three bureaus. Thus, reports from each credit reporting bureau may differ. It's to your advantage to see your complete credit history in a "3-in-1" type report.

To see your full credit history from the three reporting bureaus you'll have to pay. To view your report over a period of time as your credit history changes you'll have to pay.

There is no way for any web site to provide your credit history outside of the three reporting bureaus. And the three credit reporting agencies are businesses; they charge for their services.

Credit Report Scores - Computing Then Insufficient funds?

Your credit report scores are based on factors that appear in your credit reports:

  • Bill payment history (Good: on time and for the full amount)
  • Total outstanding debt (Good: non-mortgage loan payments less than 5% of gross income)
  • Types of debt (Good: mortgage, car loans, Bad: high credit card debt)
  • Length of credit history (Good: 3 or more years of on time payments)
  • Credit inqueries (Bad: many rejected applications)

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) prohibits certain factors from being used in determining your credit report score:

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act provides actions for you to take if suspect unauthorized factors are being used to deny you credit.
