someonesomewhere Posted March 14, 2007 Report Posted March 14, 2007 Welcome Newbie!Read all of this and all the links before taking ANY action.First, take a deep breath and then let it out. Relax. This is a marathon not a 100 meter dash, and you're no where near Athens, Pheidippides.If you have not already done so, go here. No, really. Click here.OK, well at least read this, particularly if online forums aren't your thing.And please do by all means read this. All both or more pages. There's a lot of information, jargon, abbreviations and acronyms in here, and it takes a bit of time and exposure to understand them. Once you know the words represented by the abbreviation or acronym, then you can start understanding what the words behind the abbreviation or acronym mean. Some that you'll see a lot are OC, CA, DV and PFD.If you have not already done so, pull your Credit Report (CR) from each Credit Reporting Agency (CRA). There are three major ones and a number of minor ones. Let's focus on the Big 3: Equifax (EQ), Experian (EX), and Trans Union (TU).Every 12 months, you are entitled to a free copy of your CR. If you have not already done so in the past 12 months, go to annualcreditreport.com and request all three CRs. Other websites may charge you. Use annualcreditreport.com. It's free.Request EX and TU online, but call the toll free number and request a paper copy of your EQ CR. It will be mailed to you. EQ still seems to have "issues" with online initial requests.Before you set about disputing anything, online or via Certifed Mail Return Receipt Requested (CMRRR), read this. Every one or more pages.Once more breath, relax, and again welcome.

Amerikaner83 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Ok this thread is now a sticky! Great & easy to use, easier to understand - well laid out.
fixcrdt Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Thank you. This is what I have been looking for
Guest mission700 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 I'm soooo excited about this forum and all I need to know about fixing my credit. I know it requires patience and diligence and I have what it takes to reach my goal...MISSION700!!!!
Tony Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 How do you bump, I am new to this... and I thank GOD I found this siteThanks
520ErTech Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks for the insight. I just joined today. A single mom who has been divorced for 6 years. I am sorry to admit that I had no idea until I decided I wanted to buy a car. I have tried everything from debt consolidation firms to having a friend who is a finanical advisor tell me "Don't pay them, they will fall off." I had no idea. Feel so overwhelmed I don't know where to begin. I did obtain a 3-in-1 from your creditreport.com I guess one day at a time.
gator1999 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 What happens in this case if I am not the custodial parent and they never billed claiming no insurance was on file(when it was) and then I pull my CR and it's on my credit and not my son's mom credit...she took him and signed any paperwork necessary...can she put me down as the responsible party?
J_Snow Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Please do not post specific situations in a Sticky Thread. They need to be posted as a new thread in the appropriate Forum.

Mische Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 yup! repairing a bad or lost credit is not easy and even take longer times but patience is the best thing to put in mind. of course proper action is also needed.
