Don’t pay anyone to repair your credit. Its simple and you can do it yourself. these credit repair companies will charge you lots of money. What you have to do is contact all these companies you owe money to. If you don’t know, get a free credit report from one of the 3 bureaus. Contact them and pay them, you can also offer settlement amounts, but keep in mind they might 1099 you and it will show on your credit report that its a settled account. Once you get all the matters paid, continue with paying your accounts ON TIME. After as much as 6-8 months you will see an increase in your credit score. And don’t apply for any new credit for awhile.
