Good Credit is a Necessity

By Rob Kosberg

Perhaps it is time to seriously look into your personal financial situation. We should always be monitoring our credit because it needs to remain GOOD. However, if you have recently been denied credit or if you are in shock from looking at your credit card balances or bank statements and you don 't seem to have enough cash flow, you need credit repair.

You are the only one that can fix the current situation. So, put aside any fear of seeing your financial history in black and white, be proactive and arrange to secure your credit report(s). There is no magic cure, but it can be done.

We do know that our ability to get a mortgage, car loan, personal loan, credit cards is dependent on a good credit rating. We also need to know that there are other issues at stake for us if our credit risk is poor. Your level of debt and credit card payments have the most effect on your credit score. There are some areas affected by a poor credit rating that you might not know about. You need to increase your awareness of these areas which add more reason for you to repair your credit.

These are some of the unpleasant effects of poor credit:

a. Denied car loan b. Denied employment c. Denied health, life, homeowner's insurance d. Denial of /or high interest rates for credit cards and loans e. Denial of a cell phone contract f. Being unable to start your own business

Credit is what makes our personal financial world successful or plunges us into financial upheaval. So, if you are experiencing problems with cash flow, meeting financial obligations, large credit card balances, defaulting or ready to default on your obligations, you need credit repair.

You can research how to secure your credit report(s) from each of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus. You can fix your credit. The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides helpful information about this process of securing and fixing credit reports. It is all about consumer rights.

Contact your current creditors, explain the situation. If your creditors realize that you want to pay your debts, they will be much more likely to work with you. Regaining good credit is work and only you know whether you will be able to do the repair yourself. There is a lot of information to help you.
