-
DO tell the truth in all
your correspondences and information in requesting validation
and verification from Credit Reporting Agencies (CRA's), Collection
Agencies (CA's), and Original Creditors (OC's). RxCreditRepair.com
does not recommend lying to any company in credit repair. In
fact, we emphatically stress not to do it. Credit repair will
be dramatically more successful if you tell the truth to everyone
involved.
-
DO be very tactful in your
written correspondences with CRA's, CA's, and OC's. Your job
is not to provide them information, but to receive information
from them. If you must alter our forms provided, do it judiciously.
-
DO NOT dispute derogatory
trade lines as "Not Mine" is you believe they could
be yours. Only dispute them as "Not Mine" if they
truly are not yours.
-
DO pull your credit reports.
It will not harm your credit score, and as you will see later,
it will INCREASE your credit scores.
-
DO NOT request that a Fraud
Alert be placed on any of your credit reports if no fraud is
involved.
-
DO NOT talk to anyone on
the telephone. Nothing good can come from it.
-
DO NOT run rampant and open
up a multitude of accounts. Follow our advice, and open up accounts
judiciously. Once you credit is repaired, what sense would it
make to open up a credit card with a high annual fee and exorbitant
credit rate.
-
DO remain persistent in
your credit repair. Rome was not built in a day, and after 2
to 3 months, you should see significant if not total improvement.
If you do not see significant improvement, PERSIST. If you work
on repairing your credit long enough, maintaining your credit
will become a very good habit.
-
DO NOT dispute any account
without reviewing it first. If you have an account will a balance
of $5000 that it still within the Statute of Limitations (SOL)
and you do not have $5000, do not pursue this yet. In fact,
lay low until SOL can be used as an affirmative defense in case
the creditor decides to sue. There is no sense in stirring up
trouble on an account like this. Keep in mind that you can still
have credit scores over 700 will a derogatory trade line like
this.
-
DO NOT reproduce anything
in this site for resale. You may print anything for your own
personal use, though.
-
DO NOT, if you decide not
to utilize this program, allow any Credit Repair Organization
try to repair your credit aggressively, without regard to your
financial safety. What they send out, you may have to answer
for.
-
DO NOT try to settle an
account with anything less than a Pay For Delete (PFD). It will
not help your credit, and could, in fact, cement a derogatory
trade line on your credit reports with only a PAID notation.
-
DO NOT believe it when a
CA or OC tells you that they cannot delete a derogatory trade
line. They can (Hint: There is no law requiring them to report
a trade line).
-
DO NOT believe that all
banks and credit unions utilize your credit score in the same
manner in approving credit. They all use in conjunction with
their own underwriting algorithm.
-
DO NOT lie on any credit
application. The consequences are not worth it.
-
DO everything in an honest
and honorable manner. Try to remove your personal feelings.
You are only after the removal of the inaccurate, derogatory
trade line.
-
DO follow up on what you
commit to. If you wrote that you would follow up in 15 days,
follow up in 15 days.
-
DO opt out from receiving
promotional literature from financial institutions. Nothing
good can come from it, and don't worry about missing out on
any spectacular credit card offer. There really aren't any.
Once your credit is repaired, you will have the pick of the
litter, and you will know where to find them.
-
DO NOT fret if you do not
understand everything here. It is all explained throughout the
site.
-
DO be very nice and professional,
in the unfortunate event that you do speak on the telephone
with a CRA, CA, or OC.
