Re: PLEASE HELP....... NEWBIE NEEDS HELP......NEED DIRECTION

First advice;

 

Dont let any new baddies occur - pay everything early and much more than minimum, preferably, PIF.

 

To give constructive advice on how to help with your baddies, we'll need more info on each one.

 

Like is it a CC or auto loan, or what?

 

What is the DoFD - date of first delinquency

 

How much is the default

 

Is it with a CA or is it with the OC

 

What did you dispute, and what was the outcome?

 

Any other major pertinent info.

I was there bro. Got crushed in 08 when the economy went bust. was @ 390/410/402. Had many of the cards you have listed but never opened any secured cards. The fees are stupid. The best advise I can give is to pay on time thats #1, but also avoid new debt, and stay patient. It wont happen over night. As your scores get better apply for better cards, and close the super high rate ones. Its a process for sure, but dont feel like you have to hold onto that preimer bank card forever.  Seven years later my last public record rolled off and im 728/720/711(fico8). I hold only 5 cards(2 usaa/1 amex/2 citi) with a total credit limit of 42,000 untilization is always below 6 percent. Are you military or was one of your parents or grandparents military? If so def check out USAA. **bleep** cap one. Thats all I got Good luck. rayray out......

Good decision to start rebuilding your credit. The only thing you can really do at this point is pay on time, keep low utilization (less than 10%) and wait for baddies to fall off. I would avoid applying for more credit at least until all of your accounts are over 2 year old because applying too often became a problem for me as my score started to increase.. almost somewhat addictive.. applying too often is also counter productive point wise. You have some tradelines now just show you can manage them according to fico rules.. dont let more than 1 report a balance at a time and keep that one at 9%.. I know its hard with small credit lines but its just what u have to do until you have more room ($1000-$5000+).. we've all been there as you can check out my own personal story. Wishing you luck and patience.






Starting Score: 524
Current Score:672-709

Re: PLEASE HELP....... NEWBIE NEEDS HELP......NEED DIRECTION

Your own the right road! Looks like your headed in a promising direction also. Let your accounts age now and keep your util low & pay on time.
Don't let anything else go into collections. As your new reports report positive and your old negative reports get older you will see small changes. Don't give up!
I am also rebuilding. I don't have the extra cash to do any PFD's or pay any of my collection accounts yet but at the time I am building more positive payment history. I have 4 cards reporting & also a credit builder loan from my credit union. Good Luck!
