How Does Credit Repair work?

Navigating the turbulent seas of personal finance can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task. Especially when your credit score has taken a hit and needs significant repairs. But don't worry, Rising Tides is here to serve as your compass and guide you through the complexities of the credit repair process.

What is Credit Repair?

Credit repair is the process of addressing and fixing a poor credit score. Your credit score is calculated based on your credit history, which includes payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit, and types of credit used. If your credit report contains inaccuracies, or if you’ve had a series of financial missteps, your credit score can be negatively affected. That's where credit repair comes in.

How Does Credit Repair Work?

At Rising Tides, we believe in providing our clients with a thorough understanding of the process. Here's how credit repair generally works:

  1. Credit Report Review: It begins with obtaining a copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus — Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. The report will show all the details of your financial history, from loans to credit cards and payment history.

  2. Identifying Discrepancies: After reviewing your credit report, it's important to identify any errors, inaccuracies, or discrepancies that could negatively impact your score. These could be in the form of incorrect late payments, identity theft, or outdated information.

  3. Dispute Process: If inaccuracies are identified, the next step is to file a dispute with the credit bureaus. This involves sending a letter detailing the discrepancies found and requesting an investigation into the matter.

  4. Negotiations and Settlements: If the negative items on your credit report are legitimate, you may need to negotiate with creditors or debt collectors to try to reduce the amount owed or establish a payment plan that you can manage.

  5. Credit Score Improvement: With inaccurate items removed and legitimate debts handled appropriately, your credit score should start to improve.

It’s important to note that credit repair isn't an overnight process. It requires patience and consistency. To explore more about credit repair, head over to our credit repair page where you can learn in detail about our services and how we can assist you.
