Have Late Payments Removed or Have Mistakes

• Be persistent – Work your way up the ladder

• Always get a letter that documents:

 Name/address/account number

 Specific late to be removed or mistake corrected

 On company letterhead -- signed by employee

How Mistakes Are Made

• The person applied for credit under different names (Robert Jones, Bob Jones, etc.)

• Someone made a clerical error in reading or entering name or address information from a hand-written application

• The person gave an inaccurate social security number, or the number was misread by the lender

• Loan or credit card payments were inadvertently applied to the wrong account

Increase Credit Limits

• Every six months request an increase to credit limit on credit accounts

• Have creditor base increase on credit history

• If creditor must pull credit, do not continue; will lower credit score

BECOME AN AUTHORIZED USER

• Ask a relative or friend to add you to credit account

• Confirm the following items:

 Current balance below 10% of limit

 Good payment history

• No risk as credit card goes to account holder

Do Not Close Accounts

• Keep all accounts open

• Use old accounts periodically – charge small amount - pay off immediately

• Closing accounts with a long credit history will hurt credit score

Now Go Out And Improve That Credit!

• Borrow when you do not need it

• Keep balance to limit ratio low
