      Credit Report Secrets - Daniel S. Carballo

      Introduction

      Do you remember a time without credit?  You might if you’re a little bit older, but for most of us, the idea of credit and credit cards has been with us all our lives.

      Credit is a very safe and powerful tool when used correctly. It can help you make needed purchases that would otherwise be out of reach.

      Unfortunately, credit can also bury you financially when used incorrectly.

      Most of us are not taught about credit and finance as children. It’s no wonder if you’re confused about the factors influencing your credit score and how your credit history may be used for or against you.

      Knowledge is power, and my goal in writing this report is to give you the knowledge you need to better understand the picture painted by your credit report.

      What we’ll cover:

        A Clean Credit Report: Why It’s So Important

        Checking Your Report for Problems

        Your Rights Under FACT: Cleaning Your Credit Report

        Disputing Inaccurate Information

        Dealing with Credit Bureaus

        Your Credit Score and What It Means

        How to Read Your Credit Report

        How to Brush Up Your
