Credit Repair Miami Fl - Why is it important to fix your credit?

"Credit" today is the single most important factor and the simplest way for a person to save a tremendous amount of money. Most people don't realize that life will just cost you more today if you don't have a great credit score. Many people will lose or miss out on opportunities to make more money whether it's a new job or a promotion at an existing job just because they have less than perfect credit.

 

The amount of savings that a person can experience on things like insurance premiums alone can make a huge difference between being financially successful or not. We have seen that people with bad credit can pay up to 143% more than a person with good credit. On the contrary if you have a perfect credit you are actually given discount up to 31%.

 

Read the MSN article for in depth details on auto insurance. http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=435604

 

When you couple this with the interest rates on home loans and auto loans it really turns into a tremendous amount of potential savings.

If you were to take the monthly savings from having a great credit score and set up a retirement fund, pay additional money towards current debt, set up a college fund for your children or just simply add additional money to your monthly budget you would be far better off and start to enjoy a more fulfilling life. Having Great credit and managing your finances well can take you to your financial freedom sooner than later or may be never.

While information on your credit report is being removed or corrected as a result of being inaccurate keep the following in mind:

    * Keep making payments the payments on of before time as that is the most important factor that is counted towards your score.

    * Make sure you are not applying for new credit and if you have to then limit the number of applications as you know each application is a negative hit towards your credit score.

    * Do not close any established accounts, and

    * Reduce your overall debt load and you know keeping your ratios to less than 30% is the best way to build your credit score.

Following the above plan, your credit scores will feel the positive impact and adjust positivity.

Credit Repair Miami Fl - Will repairing credit help financially?

I am going to answer this question by asking you the question!

 "How do YOU think repairing Your credit will help you?"

 

Your credit score determines what you pay for products and services you use every day. By increasing your credit score you will reduce the cost of these items. The thing to remember is that not only are major purchases affected by your credit score but even the little things that you do and use each and everyday as well as throughout the year.

 

Some of the little things that can add up and can nickel and dime you to being broke each month are credit card interest rates, security deposits required for things like utility services, not being able to rent a car, auto and home owners insurance premiums and missed opportunities not limited to just employment or simple loans need to support potential opportunities.

 

Repairing your credit will put you on the path to financial freedom. A whole new set of opportunities will open for you.

 Did you know that someone's identity is being stolen every 3 seconds?

Prevention is better than Cure, preventing your account from getting stolen.

Did you know that by just having a Great Credit you can save more than a Million Dollars in your life span. Did you know that Banks will give money to people who have great credit than to people who have no credit and less than perfect credit? In fact Banks will give you money when you actually don't need it and how do they know that because you keep your balances less than 30% and make payments on time and manage your money well. They want to give you the money so you can manage the money for them.

Credit Repair Miami Fl - Teach Your Children about Credit

Now that you have learned the importance of having great credit, protecting your credit, would you want to teach the same principles to your children? 

You have seen the difference in life when you have a great credit VS. bad credit. I was at lunch with a very beautiful person. She has children when she was young. Her ex husband who had zero knowledge, understanding and awareness of Credit is living miserably. While her new boyfriend who understands the importance of Credit own not only a number of businesses but is a person with great heart and love and care. 

This is who you become when you start following the principles. Now her boyfriend is teaching the same principles to her boys and they love him as they are enjoying the life style as well. 

I was reading a magazine and in it was comment by Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's Chain. This is what he said:

"It's a matter of having principles. 

It's easy to have principles when you're 

rich. The important thing is to have 

principles when youre poor." - Ray Kroc 

Having discipline and principles is very important for success from the get go. Now I know you want to share this information with your children I know you are already aware of what you want to do, but here are few of my suggestions. 

There are several ways to teach your children about the importance of good credit. Involve your children in discussions about money and the importance of having good credit. Teach them about saving money, credit cards, paying bills on time, the benefits of having good credit.

Some simple things you can do is set them up a saving account. Create an environment where they earn money for purchases of none necessity items. Teaching a child to save their money to buy things vs. using credit cards can mean the difference between your child being financially successful or ending up in debt upon graduating from college.

There are many books and interactive games that can help you teach Financial Literacy to your children and give them the chance to be successful in life.

I hope you found this information helpful.

Once you have secured a good credit score there are things you will want to do to take advantage of your new credit score. After all, the purpose of improving your credit was to improve your life. Take a look at all the things you have financed and see what interest rates you are paying. Can you now reduce your interest rate because you have a better credit score?

In some cases you will be able to save money on the interest you pay. What about insurance
costs can you now reduce your insurance premiums on your car and home owners policies?

Did you know that if you have bad credit you can pay in some cases as much as 3 times the
normal cost for car insurance? Call your insurance agent and have them review your policy based on your new credit rating.

What about your auto loan? Contact your bank or existing lender to see if you can refinance
your loan for a lower interest rate.

Credit Repair Miami Fl - Why should you hire a company to fix your credit?

Do You Really Think You Still Need A Credit Repair Company?

The answer really depends upon you and your situation. You really have to evaluate this thoroughly.

Even though you have learned the process and ins and outs of the process, still you may be unsure. May you are not confident. You may be thinking what is I did something wrong, will I be able to go back and correct it or will it even hurt me more. There are so many laws that keep changing and that it becomes very difficult for person not in the same profession to keep up to date.

This is the reason there are professionals in every field as they will help you to understand and work with you. Now I am sure there are both good professional as well not so good professional in every field. One more very important thing to remember that we have seen time and time again is many people start their own credit repair and they do not see any results and then are frustrated even more and come to us to help. It is a time consuming process and involved. It can take time away from your more important things in life.

If you still want to work with a credit repair, I would recommend keeping the following in mind:

-How long has the company been in existence?
-How many states can they do credit repair?

This critical as you know they are working to keep themselves up to date as the laws are very different in different states.

-What kind of rating they have with Better Bureau of Business?
-What kind of Guarantee do they provide?
-Who comes first when they are working with a client, the client or the company?
-Are they willing to negotiate and work with your situation where you feel valued?
-Do they have system where you know exactly what is going on with your file?
-Do they have a way to update you on the progress?
-Can you reach out to them when you have a question?

Bottom line is; do your search thoroughly.

Hope this helps you make the decision on whether you want to do your own credit repair or want to hire someone.

Credit Repair Miami Fl - Can I legally Repair my Credit?

Is Credit Repair Legal?

Absolutely. The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows anyone to dispute inaccurate items on their credit reports. There's nothing we do that you cannot do yourself when it comes to fixing your credit situation. Individuals can restore their credit on their own but this can take time and a lot of knowledge when it comes to the credit laws.

Almost every person even remotely thinking about getting their credit repair today worries about the legality of the process. In today’s video we are going to discuss this very key topic.

Credit repair is legal and the FCRA provides the guidelines that must be followed in order to correct any errors on a consumer’s credit report.

The issue arises when companies make false claims or recommend to clients trying to fix their credit to do things that are not legal and would be otherwise considered fraud by causing the consumer to do a fraudulent act.

You want to make sure when using a credit repair service that you are dealing with a reputable company and the process that they use is legal and follows the FCRA guidelines. If they are not following the FCRA guidelines you are leaving yourself open to be taken advantage of or potentially committing fraud.

Don't Let Medical Bills Ruin Your Credit

Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy according to many financial sources. Unfortunately, many people neglect their medical bills without realizing the impact that those unpaid bills could have on their credit score.

How Medical Bills Can Hurt Your Credit

After you receive medical services, your physician or hospital will bill you for any portion that wasn’t covered by insurance. Just like any other bill, medical bills have a due date. If you don’t pay by the due date, your bill becomes past due. Hospitals will only send you so many past due notices before they give your account to a third-party debt collector to resume collection efforts.

When the debt collector receives your medical bill, one of the first things it will do is report the account to one or all of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). The medical collection account is considered a serious delinquency and can remain on your credit report for up to seven years, the maximum amount of time permitted by law.

Your credit score - the number creditors and lenders often use to approve your applications for new loans and credit - is based solely on information that’s in your credit report. Since having a collection account on your credit report indicates you have a seriously delinquency in your credit history, your credit score will drop when a new collection is added to your credit report. The more medical collections accounts you have, the lower your credit score will be.

Protect Your Credit from Medical Bills

One of the easiest ways to keep medical bills from impacting your credit score is to pay your bills when you receive them. If you can’t afford to make payment in full, contact the hospital’s billing department to make payment arrangements.

Even if you have health insurance, don’t assume that your insurance company will always handle bills in a timely manner. If you receive a bill that should have been covered by insurance, contact your insurance company to find out why the bill wasn’t paid. It could have been a simple oversight by hospital billing or the insurance claims department. Insurance companies often cover only a certain percentage of medical bills, so you might be responsible for some portion of medical debt after the insurance company has covered its part.

To find out whether you have unpaid medical bills out there, check your credit report.

To be doubly safe, you might contact the hospital or physician’s billing department to check the status of your account, especially if you’ve received any medical services within the past year. Sometimes, just because the medical bills aren’t on your credit report doesn’t mean they don’t exist. By contacting the medical provider, you’ll know for sure whether you have outstanding medical bills that could end up hurting your credit.
