All of these Problems are due to dings in your credit report. Here are the 1st steps in How To Fix Credit :

Get copies of your credit reports including scores from the 3 major credit reporting agencies, Experian, Transunion and Equifax.

Review these reports in detail noting any errors in your private profile like, inaccurate or multiple social security numbers, misspelled name or multiple variances of your name, wrong address and previous places of work. Also review for inaccurate info related to credit accounts, whether delinquent payment notations were correct, was the account yours, were you a sanctioned user or primary owner of the account, is the account open or closed. You would like to find all the errors and misstatements in your credit report that would have an effect on your credit worthiness scores.

Write dispute letters providing correct info concerning your personal profile and challenged the wrong information related to your credit accounts asking for the individual agencies to verify the info. Send the letters licensed return receipt.

If you don't hear from the reporting agencies within 30 days, followed up with a second letter requesting a status update of the corroboration process. Also include a copy of the first dispute letter and a copy of the signed return bill card to make certain that the agencies recognize this letter isn't your first request and that the 30 days reply time by them required under federal law had been violated.

If after reinvestigating your complaint and the argument isn't resolved to your satisfaction, request that your statement of the dispute be included in your credit record and any future reports.

Follow this approach conscientiously with a little patience as well as, changing your purchasing and bill paying habits to put you on the road to improving your credit score. Pay your credit accounts by the cutoff date and add additional to the payment due if possible. Pay the balances off with high rates first.

Continue to cut back your due debt to credit limits. Your target should be not more than 30% debt to credit limit. As an example, if your Mastercard limit is $5,000, your debt on the card should not exceed $1,500.
