It all boils down to your number. Like it or not, a good credit score is more critical now than it's ever been at any other time in history. Nowadays, practically everything is based on your credit score. But in today's economy, the "dirty little secret" is that bad credit is big, BIG business; worth TRILLIONS of dollars a year. Experian, Equifax and Trans Union (all non-government, FOR PROFIT corporations) along with virtually all lending institutions and collection agencies i.e. the US financial industry, conspire to create, maintain and distribute bad credit. They make bad credit easy to give, easy to get, easy to tell everyone about and hard to get rid of. Why would they do that you ask? MONEY. They stand to make lots and lots of money. So, How Can You Improve Your Credit Score? First, understand the deck is stacked against you: The credit scoring industry is a CASH COW; it and it's clients collectively transact trillions of dollars worth of business each year. TRILLIONS. So they make the rules. They created a scoring system to assign a numeric value to every adult in America using an involuntary, non government regulated, privately designed formula with zero consumer input, more than 75% error ratio and zero accountability for accuracy. The system is so corrupt and prone to errors that the Federal Trade Commission had to enact numerous federal laws including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and and files numerous lawsuits each year to regulate their business practices and limit abuses and still, our internal records show that 93% of our clients attempted to repair their own credit and failed prior to contacting us. 93%!
Joint cooperation makes the credit scoring system work. Everyone contributes - lenders, financial institutions and collection agencies are all eager to provide the credit bureaus with negative information to lower consumer's credit scores. Why? They make more money if you have bad credit. Don't believe it? Be ONE DAY late paying your Visa bill and see what happens. That ONE DAY will negatively impact your credit score for the next SEVEN YEARS. Does one day make you a bigger credit risk? Of course not, but it does provide a convenient excuse to charge you a $39 late fee and bump your interest rate to 29%. Do that a time or two with your mortgage, your car payment, your health club membership or any of a thousand other things in any seven year period and all of a sudden you have bad credit and the financial industry has justification to charge you more money and higher interest rates for everything. If it made you a bad person they just wouldn't loan you the money, but that's not it. They'll still loan you the money all right, they'll just charge you a lot of fees. In 2007 alone, credit card companies collected 63 BILLION DOLLARS in fees and the banking industry collected $68 BILLION. That's $131 BILLION! That's equivalent to $436 for every single man, woman and child in the United States and it's more than the 2007 Gross National Product of New Zealand! Now are you starting to get the picture? This is NOT a conspiracy theory ... It's real. To hear the financial industry tell it though, they're barely hanging on and claim they're doing you a favor by accepting your account, but really, who's doing WHO the favor? Okay, I Have Bad Credit. NOW WHAT? Bottom line: If you have bad credit now then you're caught up in the system; a system that's been designed to keep you there and extract money from you for a lifetime. There's only ONE way out. You can ignore it and hope it'll go away but the system is set up to prevent that. You can try to fix it yourself, but statistically you have a 9 out of 10 chance of failing. No, if you want out, if you want to turn things around, you have to CHOOSE to take action and you're going to need help. The credit bureaus and financial industry certainly won't help you. Why would they? They stand to make a fortune over your lifetime if you HAVE bad credit. To be successful, you need to work with the credit repair service that has the best track record of success in America. CHOOSE to take action: |
