Extra Credit
You know
that your credit score is one of your most precious resources — a good score
can open doors and save you money. But what if your score got a little bruised
amid the recent credit crunch? Don’t fret. Max out your credit rating with
these tips for repairing the damage.
·Order
your credit reports from the top three credit bureaus — Equifax, Trans-Union
and Experian. It’s likely that each is slightly different. Creditors aren’t
required to report to all three credit bureaus, so they typically report only
to the credit bureau to which they also subscribe.
Examine your reports carefully. Nearly every consumer
has an error on at least one credit report from one of the major credit
bureaus. Carefully look for everything from typing errors, outdated and
incomplete information to inaccurate account histories.
