  Many people find themselves having to deal with bad credit due to the downturn of the economy, the rise of the cost of living, as well as the increase in layoffs. These tips can help you gain insight on how you can get a better credit score.
  
  Try joining a credit union to begin a credit score. You may find that the credit union has more options and better rates to offer you than banks will.
  
  Get rid of your debt! When deciding how risky you are, lenders compare the whole amount of debt you owe to the amount of money you earn. You will be looked at as a bad credit risk if your debt is too much for your income to handle. You are not likely to be able to pay off the debt in full right away, so you should make a plan to repay in a timely fashion and follow that schedule.
  
  Review your credit report for any outstanding debt or missed payments. Carefully check your credit report for errors or mistakes then set in place a plan to pay off the listed debts. Your first step should be completely paying off the debt with the highest interest. Meanwhile, keep up with the other accounts, even if it's just the minimum payment.
  
  Don't risk prison. Don't buy into scams that suggest you create new credit files. Doing this is illegal, and you will be caught. The legal consequences are expensive, and you might be sentenced to jail.
  
  If you find any errors in your credit reports, you should dispute them. You should compose a letter to the agencies that have made the errors, and provide proof that you are correct. Use a return receipt when you mail your package so that you can prove that the agency received it.
  
  If you are doing hardcore credit repair, you need to scrutinize your report for negative entries. While the credit item itself may not be in error, if you can find a mistake in the date, amount, or any other factor, you may be able to have the whole item removed from your report.
  
  If your credit is poor, take the first step to repairing it by closing out the majority of your cards, leaving yourself just one to use. Call your credit card company and try to work out a repayment plan, or transfer the balances of multiple cards to one lower interest card. You will be able to pay one bill instead of a plethora of small ones.
  
  Secured credit cards are an effective way for you to start rebuilding your credit. Most likely, you will not have a problem obtaining this type of card, but you must add funds to the account before you make any purchases to assure the bank that you will pay. Responsible use of any credit card can help your credit rating. However, never forget that irresponsible use will get you in trouble every time.
  
  Try to work with debt collectors and explain your situation honestly. Let your creditors know the amount you are able to pay, and give them a timetable for when you will pay them. Keep in mind that negotiation is always possible.
  
  You should be truthful with debt collectors and see if they can work with you. Let them know when you can make a payment, and what amount you can afford to pay. Keep in mind that many collectors will negotiate with you.
  
  Avoid using your credit cards. Stick to your budget by only spending the cash that you have allocated for spending. When you do use a credit card, pay off the balance in full each month.
  
  You should get all terms and conditions in writing if you choose to deal with a creditor. This is a great way to have documentation of the plan if the creditor changes their mind or the company ownership gets changed. Once the debt is fully paid, you need to get a statement verifying this from the creditor and send it to each of the major credit bureaus.
  
  When struggling with repairing bad credit, it's not a good idea to start a program for debt consolidation. If you can, concentrate your debts into a single payment. This can help you make your payments on time.
  
  As discussed here, there are numerous tools and methods to help you resuscitate an ailing credit history. If you follow our helpful tips you should see a nice rise in your credit score. A good way to enhance your credit score is DIY credit repair.
