Bill collectors, banks, credit card companies and finance companies, along with attorneys and credit counseling services are making their money by keeping some information from you.  What do they know about your repairing your credit report that they don't want you to know?  

Businesses who are in the business to make loans, such as banks and finance companies earn more money by charging higher interest rates to those people whose credit is less than ideal.  If you would do the research to determine what is in your own credit report and how to make it good credit, you would save a great deal of money on the interest rates which you are being charged for the loans you take out.

You may ask why the credit card companies and credit bureaus don't want you to know the truth about repairing your credit yourself.  It is such a closely guarded secret, because if you have clean credit, the lending institutions won't be able to charge the extra high interest rates, bank fees and initiation fees.  You can correct this problem yourself with the use of three secrets to credit repair and save yourself thousands of dollars in fees over the course of your loan or mortgage.

Contrary to what you may have been led to believe, bad-credit-causing items on your credit report do not have to stay there.  You do not have to wait for time to remove the negative entries.  You also don't need to pay commercial credit repair services or credit repair attorneys to repair your credit. 

Some of them do a wonderful job of cleaning up your credit report, but cost a great deal of money as well.  In most cases, the work they charge you for could be done by you and it wouldn't cost expensive consulting and negotiating fees.

By using these three secrets of credit repair, you can with perseverance clean up and eliminate negative inaccurate or false statements. 

SECRET #1
Any negative entries that can stay on the credit bureau's files are not the entries that are accurate, but the entries that the credit bureau cannot verify to be correct.  This is an important concept to understand and could be worth thousands of dollars to you.

SECRET #2
The burden of proof is on the credit bureaus to prove disputably the the entries in question are accurate before it can remain on the credit files from the credit bureau. It is not up to you to prove the entry false; it is up to the credit bureau to prove that it is true.  Again, this is an important concept and probably one which is the reverse of what you've been told in the past.

SECRET #3
If the credit bureau cannot prove an entry to be accurate, it must be removed permanently from the credit files.  This may be the most important secret of the three.    It means that the credit bureaus only get one chance to get inaccurate information off the credit report or they can be fined.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act protects the consumer from false, incorrect and misleading information posted on credit reports and you can take advantage of its terms in order to repair your credit. You can soon be on the road to better interest rates and terms because your credit will be cleaned up.
