Boost Your Credit Score in 60 to 90 Days
28 Jul 2009 Everyone knows that getting back on the right tract with your credit can be a long process, but some instance results might help keep your hopes up and make sure you do not deviate. Here is a list of some great ways to boost your credit in 60 to 90 days. First, you need to check your credit report for errors and dispute any that you find. Bankrate.com reports that 70% on consumer credit reports have errors on them. And let us say that these are usually not in the favor of the consumer. Common errors that could hold down your score are: late payments over 7 years old, any credit inquiries older than two years, and any potential double collections. Once you have identified potential errors you can use the credit bureaus online dispute forms and by law once you place a dispute, the bureau must investigate it within 30 days. If any potential errors are removed it will be done in the 60 to 90 day time frame giving you an instance boost with little effort. Second, you should do anything you can to pay down your debt. Your debt to credit ratio is the second largest piece of your credit score and the lower the amount you have the better for your rating. Now, just paying off thousands in debt can seem impossible, but many people have found some creative ways to make it happen. One of the most common ways is to sell everything that is not bolted down through a yard sale or on eBay. You will want to do this as soon as you can because your payment to your accounts will take some time to be report to the credit bureaus and be reflected in your credit score. You should also make sure any accounts that you have loyally paid on time are being report to the credit bureau. This is easy to see with a quick glance of your credit report. If they are not reporting, you should call your accounts and ask them to report. These positive accounts will help your score. There is no telling what boost you will get and it really depends on your history, but these could be the things to get you started.
