So you had a financial crisis happened to you, well believe it or not most people have. But it is up to you if you want to continue living life in a hole!

Bad things happen to good people. You have bad credit… well that is the past so get over it! You need to make a change now. Don't look at what happened to you and have it go over and over in your head. Break that broken record. That will only cause more stress then you can handle and additional headaches.

You need to take action now and move forward in your life with a new attitude and eliminate bad credit scores.

Check your Credit Report

Your first step is to pull your credit report to see what the damage is. There are three credit bureaus that collect data on you: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian.

You need to receive a report from each of the three agencies to see what they are saying about you. A lot of times, they have incorrect info on you, but it is your responsibility to tell them.

Each bureau is required to provide you with one free credit report per year if you request. Here is a link to receive a copy of the free credit report from each of the credit agencies:

The Free credit reports only provide the details of the credit report, which is really all you need to make corrections. They do charge small fees if you want to get your score.

Is Good Info Missing?

Each agency can have different information of each of the credit reports. So check each one carefully. If you have, one lender which you are paying timely but is not listed on the credit report, write the lender and tell them to report it to the agency which it is not showing on their report. If the lender won't do this, write to the credit bureau with proof of statements and cancelled checks and the credit agency should post it to the credit report.

Re-aging

If you have an account which you were current for the last 12 months, write to the lender and ask them to re-age your account. This way all the old late payments (over 12 months old) will be out of the calculation and improve your score.

Stay on Top of Things

Make sure you continue to check with each bureau to make sure everything is accurate at least once a year.

When you write to each credit agency, they will provide dispute id number to you and you can continue to dispute items until everything is accurate and they will send the detail credit report to you to check what they have updated for free.

Don't use more than 50% of available credit on each credit card. Anything over that can reduce your score.

Be Patient

It takes awhile to do this but it will be worth it!

Thanks for reading and learning

P.S. Improving your Credit score will get you a better financing rate for your Commercial Real Estate deal!

If you had to resort to a home mortgage to purchase your property, and you are in an advanced stage of repayment, thinking about a home mortgage refinancing may give you extra money to count within your monthly budget. Many times, after a while living in a property, there are certain repairs that happen to be done. A broken roof or old plumb cannot stay that way forever, but we are always thinking about something else that has to be paid first and we leave our properties to loose bright and value with the pass of the years.
Being as it is, increasingly difficult to pay off mortgage installments, more and more people are resorting to long term mortgages in an intent to reduce the amount of the monthly payments. If there is no other option for purchasing your own property there is no much to discuss. However, if it is possible to afford a shorter term mortgage it is wise to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of closing on a long term mortgage deal with your home loan lender.
Although banks love the lawyers whose services they can buy, either as government legislators, regulators, or law firms who will lie to courts about foreclosure cases, these same lenders rarely enjoy talking to the legal representative of a homeowner.
This weekend on the radio, there was an interesting discussion among a handful of financial and mortgage experts about the banking industry's current fascination with loan modification programs. The participants in the discussion came up with some very good points about the modifications that lenders are currently offering to homeowners in foreclosure trying to lower their monthly bills and how banks use attorneys to pursue foreclosure but do not want to deal with a homeowner's legal representation.
A "Jumbo" mortgage is defined as a loan that is too large to be bought by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. Depending on the state, limits range from just under $420,000 to $730,000. When the credit crisis was at its peak, jumbo mortgages were hard to find. Lenders looked at them as an unecessary risk and these mortgages were down 70 per cent in 2008 from prior years. Now that the dust has cleared, some companies are considering the jumbo mortgage market a new opportunity. As mortgage rates continue to drop, so do rates for 30-year jumbo mortgages.
The government and the President have a new plan to help homeowners out of foreclosure. We refer to it as the "Obama Plan". Many homeowners are hoping and praying for the best, but if history has shown us anything, we know it's always best to have a back up plan.
Over $9 million was deposited into an account controlled by Bell. This complex scheme resulted in charges to 24 co-conspirators for bank and wire fraud, money laundering and corrupt racketeering activity. They had participants from real estate, title insurance, appraisal and notary public.
