If you’re looking for quick credit repair advice you’ve come to the wrong place. This isn’t advice. I’m simply sharing a few of the things that helped me with my initial credit repair project. I had a lot of financial troubles in the last two years. Collections and charge offs made themselves a home on my credit report and after recovering, a little. I decided I needed to get my credit up again.
I looked for options as you might be doing right now and for me the best was going with someone who knew exactly what they were doing. I didn’t really feel I could get quick credit repair results myself. When I say quick, I mean 45 days or less. When I looked into companies that do it for you they always talked about how they were the quickest in the industry and that in 45 days I would be able to see a significant difference. It all sounded great except for what it was going to cost me.
My second option was to work on it myself. I realized that if I did it myself it wasn’t going to be a quick credit repair project but after talking to those guys at the credit repair companies I got the picture that they would be doing some disputing. I had no idea how to do it so I had to look into credit repair programs. After researching a little on the internet I picked a clear winner and started working on it.
In the first 2 months I removed 3 collections accounts. Yes I was surprised. I received a letter from the bureau telling me that the action taken was a removal and I jumped. I didn’t have a 750 credit score but that was quick. Credit repair was looking very possible after that first positive step.

Once I realized that the techniques I started to use from Credit Repair Magic worked I started to go after the larger accounts. I corrected or removed 11 negative accounts from my credit report. It sounds like a lot but I was deep in the hole. I had a total of 24 accounts that needed to be addressed. Some I wanted to remove and being that they were re-aging my debt, it was very possible.
Re-aging of debt is a serious problem and a violation of statute of limitations. For that reason you can use it to have them remove a bad account from your record. You can read more about re-aging and techniques used to clear it when you get Credit Repair Magic. I know the page and the video look a little funny but the program is good. I came across the program through a credit repair review page.
It did make a difference. I’m glad I worked on it myself. I’m still working on some of the bigger, more difficult accounts. They aren’t budging and I think I might have to go to the professionals after all. The last time I talked to one of them they mentioned that the less I have to clear the less it costs because it’ll take less time to do it.
If you don’t want to go through the hassle and want really quick credit repair results the company I found to be reputable was Lexington law. I talked to one of their guys when I signed up for a free consultation and it’s probably my next step. I’d like to own a home in the next year or so, now that prices are low.
