In the New Year Lets Improve

The New Year is coming so say goodbye to 2011..... there will be a lot of resolutions being made and broken just like any other year no different. But if you made or plan on making this certain resolution I think it will serve you right to do all you can to keep it or revisit it. If you are looking to improve your credit score or credit report then this the best time to do so, don't wait any longer.

The first step is to want to, its just that simple. Next step gets a little harder but you can handle it. Find info on the 3 major bureau to obtain a copy of your credit reports. Having a copy will give you an idea of what you credit state is, not to say you don't know without it but you have a better idea. Once you have the reports don't be alarmed there will be some items that are on some reports but not on others and vise-versa. This is OK because some credit data is not reported to all three bureaus.

Make sure you go over the content to ensure that everything there is yours. After that is done look to see what you can start to pay off. I recommend starting off small then working your way to bigger balance items. With a little time and careful filing and logs of your report you will be well on your way to improve your credit score in no time.

Last but not least stay away from applying for any new credit till you are in a position to incur new debt. one of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to improve credit reports is get new credit cards to pay off old debt. 9 times out of 10 the new debt will become old bad debt so stay away from that.
