<p>If your <a title="Credit Repair services" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com">credit company </a>begins to believe that you won&#8217;t ever pay your credit card bills, they may charge off on your account. This will typically happen if your account is delinquent by six months or more.</p>
<p><strong>Essentially, a charge off means three things:</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<ol>
<li><a title="Credit Repair Servies" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com">You won&#8217;t be able to make any purchases with that credit account.</a></li>
<li><a title="Credit Repair" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com">You will still owe the remaining charged off balance on your account.</a></li>
<li><a title="credit repair services" href="http://www.vitessefinancil.com">Your credit score will drop, significantly. In fact, a charge off is one of the most damaging entries that you can have on your credit report.</a> </li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to avoid:</span></strong><strong> </strong>Be sure that you&#8217;re making the minimum payment on all of your credit accounts each month. If you have multiple delinquent credit accounts, make the financial sacrifices necessary to get them all paid up to date. <em>Start with the most delinquent accounts first.</em> A credit card account that has been delinquent for four or five months is dangerously close to a charge off, and deserves your immediate attention. The late fees and penalties that you&#8217;ll have to pay now will be nothing when compared to the repercussions of a charge off.</p>

<p><strong>Leading up to your bankruptcy filing, you may have to spend a significant amount of time on the phone negotiating payments and explaining late payments to creditors</strong>. You also will probably spend a lot of time going through mail, responding to letters, and making copies of documents as proof or your efforts.</p>
<p><strong>Moreover, the process of filing for bankruptcy takes time. Bankruptcy-related paperwork</strong>, as with most legal documentation, can require a great deal of patience to complete. A lawyer or bankruptcy specialist may complete the tasks more quickly (and likely with fewer errors), but you would still need to meet with that individual or firm to discuss your situation. Every state is different, but you will most likely need to take time to complete a petition (this starts your bankruptcy), a document with list of your creditors, a document detailing your financial history, and a plan explaining how you will move forward.</p>
<p> Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file, you may need to meet with the court or a trustee to discuss the case on one or more occasions.</p>
<p>While the bankruptcy <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com/">listing is on your credit reports</a>, you may often have to explain that mark on your credit and supply additional paperwork when trying to open new accounts, refinance, and request insurance premium quotes. This is all the more reason to focus on credit repair immediately after bankruptcy.</p>

<p>Employers are allowed to ask if you have filed for bankruptcy in the past. In their minds, this may be an indicator of whether or not you are a responsible individual. <strong>Unfortunately, some employers still review an <a title="Bankruptcy" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com/">applicant’s credit report</a></strong>. So while they may not be able to ask you about a bankruptcy, it may certainly color your prospective employers unconscious (or conscious) opinions.</p>
<p>So while bankruptcy can be devastating, it has to be reported <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com/">correctly on your credit reports. </a>If it isn’t, the advice of a good attorney can help you leverage the multiple consumer rights you have to ensure that you are protected. <a title="Credit Repair " href="http://www.vitessefinancial.com/">Talk to a credit repair company to learn about alternatives to bankruptcy and credit repair after bankruptcy</a>.</p>

It may take years for all of the negative reports to expire, but by preventing new ones while increasing your positive reports your credit score will slowly rise on its own.</p>

Avoiding Credit Repair Scams<br />
Unfortunately, there will always be unsavory individuals who seek to make money off of those who are in need of assistance.<br />
Any credit repair service that promises instant results or that offers to simply create a new credit report for you should be avoided… what they&#8217;re really creating is a business tax identification number, and any individual who uses one is in danger of being charged with fraud and possibly other charges. Credit repair takes time; if an offer sounds too good to be true, then it likely is.</p>
<p>It is very important to <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">regularly check your credit history</a> and <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit score</a>, and for help with this and other issues consider contacting a credit repair agency like <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">Vitesse Financial. </a>For more information or for your free consultation <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">contact them today at 866.407.9110.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/why-collectors-exist/cr-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-739"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-739" title="Credit Repair" src="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/CR.bmp" alt="Credit Repair" /></a>When a debt collector contacts a consumer, it usually indicates that the creditor has not received a payment on the debtor’s outstanding bill for multiple months</strong>. Because these payments are typically well past their due dates, the creditor has entered into a contract with a third-party debt recovery company or in-house affiliate in an attempt to collect the outstanding balance. To obtain the services of a collection agency, the creditor usually pays the company a percentage of any money collected. <em>Clearly, this payment strategy motivates the bill collector to recover as much money as possible</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps the worst thing a consumer can do is to ignore a bill collector</strong>. The sooner a person addresses a debt problem, the better off they will be. <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">It is important to respond as quickly as possible to a debt collector</a>, especially if you are certain the debt is not yours. Frequently, it is a call from a bill collector that first alerts an individual to the potential of identity theft. <strong>Moreover, stalling could mean further unwanted phone calls, lawsuits, judgments and more.</strong></p>
<p>Because most <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">creditors report your credit repayment </a>history, when you stop making payments, that information is also passed along to the credit bureaus which ultimately lower your credit score. Frequently, a single collections account can generate multiple derogatory entries on a consumer’s credit report. Often, both the original creditor and the collection agency make separate entries on a single outstanding account balance. As an added insult to a <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">person’s credit score, </a>the amount owed might be listed in multiple sections of the credit report such as the collections section and in the public records section if a court judgment occurred. These types of repetitive entries from one account can drastically lower a <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">person’s overall credit score</a>.</p>
<p>When dealing with a debt collector, it is highly recommended that a consumer review their <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">credit report on a regular basis</a>.

<p>If you have multiple credit cards, it generally isn&#8217;t a great idea to close out a card that has <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit</a>. This is because your overall level of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit </a>will go down, causing your credit utilization to go up. Although it may seem like a good idea to close out a credit card with plenty of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit, </a>it can actually have a negative impact on your credit score.</p>
<p> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to avoid:</span></strong><strong> </strong>Ideally, you want to maximize your amount of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit</a>. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that you should simply start opening as many credit card accounts as possible. Such actions can have detrimental effects on your financial health, including your credit score. However, if you have an existing card with a high amount of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit</a>, the best decision is to simply leave it open, even if you don&#8217;t plan on using it. This will act as a buffer for your credit utilization percentage.</p>

<p><strong>Credit Repair for Everyone</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Everyone wants their credit score to be as high as possible</strong></em>. <a title="Credit repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">Not everyone is a candidate for credit repair,</a> but most people can utilize these score raising techniques to one degree or another. For some it is a matter of recovering after a period of financial difficulty, others may only need a little tune-up. <em>Here are the best ways to improve your <strong><a title="Credit repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">credit scores</a></strong>, and keep them up!</em></p>
<p><strong>Positive and Negative Issues</strong></p>
<p>There are two areas that must be addressed as <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">part of any credit repair effort,</a> the positive and the negative. Without positive credit your scores will go nowhere regardless of any progress you make removing erroneous derogatory information. And unless you clean up the negative errors that are weighing down your scores you will be handicapped without the presence of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">positive credit on your report</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Open and Active Accounts</strong></p>
<p>Building positive data on your report for <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">credit repair purposes </a>does not have to be difficult. Secured credit cards are the perfect way to develop positive history even if your current scores make it impossible for you to qualify for regular unsecured accounts. If your scores are not too bad you may be able to obtain regular cards. Either way, make sure that you have open active accounts showing on your report.</p>
<p><strong>Managing Open Accounts</strong></p>
<p>Before we discuss <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/credit-repair-advice/">credit repair </a>techniques for dealing with the negative issues on your report it is <strong>important to touch on the ways to manage your open active accounts.</strong> It is common sense that you must make your payments on time; a late payment can be a terrible setback. But if you really want the best scores it is critical that you maintain your balances properly.</p>
<p>It is very important to <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">regularly check your credit history</a> and <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit score</a>, and for help with this and other issues consider contacting a credit repair agency like <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">Vitesse Financial. </a>For more information or for your free consultation <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">contact them today at 866.407.9110.</a></p>

<p><strong>15% of your credit score consists of your credit history</strong>. The longer your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit history,</a> the better your credit score will be. Unfortunately, when you close out a credit card, it will no longer have an effect on your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">overall credit history</a>. For example, let&#8217;s say that you first acquired a credit card in 2003. <strong>In 2006, you acquired a second a credit card. For whatever reason, you decide to close out the original credit card you started using in 2003.</strong> Following this, your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit history </a>will appear as though it started in 2006. This effectively shortens your credit history and reduces your credit score.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to avoid:</span></strong><strong> </strong>As with your cards that have a large amount of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">available credit</a>, your oldest cards should simply be left open, even if they aren&#8217;t being used. You can do this in order to maximize your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit history</a>. You should also prioritize keeping your oldest card in good standing, since it&#8217;s an excellent representation of your ability to make payments on time over an extended period of time.</p>

Raise your Credit Score and Save Money!</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong>There are many events that can create the need for <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit repair</a>,</strong> from the loss of a job to a medical emergency that taps savings and strains an otherwise sound budget. There are also cases of identity theft that, through no fault of ours, cause grievous credit harm. <em>Regardless of the underlying cause, there is never a case that should make us despair.</em></p>
<p><strong>Expecting Errors</strong></p>
<p>It is important to understand, as you examine your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">damaged credit report</a>, that the credit reporting system is prone to spawning errors from the seeds of real events. <strong>This is not the fault of the credit bureaus. The reporting system is massive and incorporates data from millions of participants, including creditors, collectors, courthouses and the services that gather public records</strong>. Expect errors to occur.</p>
<p><strong>Disciplined Self-Monitoring</strong></p>
<p>The need for credit repair is inherently acknowledged by the presence of the Fair <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). </a>The requirement by the FCRA that all national credit bureaus provide free reports to consumers on demand once per year at no charge is a nod to the inevitability of errors. <strong>Perfection, from a system of such complexity, is not in the cards. The solution is regular disciplined self-monitoring.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Time is Right Now</strong></p>
<p>The need for self-monitoring is never more important than after a period of <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit damaging financial hardship. </a>It is almost inevitable in these cases that <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit repair </a>is necessary. As traumatized as you may be from the events that led to the credit damage it is still critical to address it efficiently. To ignore it may be easier, but reporting errors when neglected have a way of multiplying and taking root.</p>
<p><strong>Feel Good Again</strong></p>
<p>There is literally no situation that justifies sticking your head in the sand. Foreclosures, charge-offs, collections, and even the discharge of a bankruptcy is an occasion for <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit repair</a>. To address the issues now in an intelligent and thoughtful manner will put you on the path to recovery, give you peace of mind, and deliver a refreshed credit report and score that you can feel good about.</p>
<p><strong>A Detailed Examination</strong></p>
<p>The first step is a detailed examination of your reports. It might be worthwhile hiring a <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">top credit repair service </a>to do this for you as many of the score-wrecking errors that arise are subtle. This means that you may miss the errors entirely or mistakenly identify them as accurate. Just because something looks familiar does not mean that it should be on your report.</p>
<p><strong>Dispute the Errors</strong></p>
<p>Once all of the reporting errors are identified it is time for the dispute phase of your <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit repair project</a>. As in the case of the initial proofreading, you might want to turn this important but repetitive task over to a professional. The effectiveness of credit bureau disputes depends on a highly organized and specifically targeted routine of approach and response. <strong>If you do it right you will soon have a greatly improved credit report</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Up From the Ashes</strong></p>
<p>The final step on the path to renewed credit is rebuilding. This requires opening new accounts and managing them for the greatest possible FICO score impact. Secured credit cards are the <a title="Credit Repair" href="http://vitessefinancial.com/">credit repair </a>weapon of choice, and a remarkably powerful way to propel your scores back into the realm of respectability. Being secured, they are not based on your credit history, so there is no fear of denial. Open two cards and manage them with great care. Make your payments on time and keep your balances low. Soon the bad credit of the past will fade from memory.</p>
