Before you start fixing your credit, you have to know what you need to repair. Your credit report contains all the mistakes you've made which have led to bad credit. Read through your credit report to find out what are the unwanted items affecting your credit score. By law, you are eligible to free credit reports from each of the three credit bureaus each year. This annual free credit report can be obtained only through AnnualCreditReport.com. You can even request by phone or mail if you need to.

If you're also eligible to a free credit report if you've been turned down for credit due to some thing on the credit report, if you are currently receiving government help, if you're jobless and going to look for a job soon, or if you consider you've been a victim of credit card fraud or identity theft. Some states even have laws that permit you to get an additional free credit report each year. All these free credit reports must be ordered directly from the credit bureaus.

Once you have your credit reports, examine them completely. In case you have a long credit history, your credit reports may be a number of pages long. Try not to get confused by all the details you're reading. It's a lot to understand, especially if you're checking your credit report for the first time. Take your time and review your credit report over many days if you want to.

Listed below are the kinds of details you will need to credit repair:

•Incorrect information, including accounts that aren’t yours, payments which have been wrongly reported late, etc. •Past due accounts that are late, billed off, or have been sent to collections. •Maxed out accounts that are over the borrowing limit. Use different color highlighters for each type of details to help you easily make a credit repair strategy.

Disputing online is usually quicker and simpler, but leaves you with no paper trail (you can have screenshots of your dispute). The same thing goes for making a dispute over the phone. Submitting your disputes through regular mail has many advantages. First, you may also send proof that supports your dispute, for example a cancelled check displaying you make your payment on time. You may also maintain a copy of the dispute letter for your files. Finally, if you send your dispute through certified mail with return receipt requested - which you should - you might have evidence of the time you mailed. This is important because credit bureaus have 30-45 days to investigate and reply to your dispute.

Whenever you send your dispute, send have a copy of your credit report with item you're disputing outlined and a duplicate (not the original) of any evidence you have that supports your dispute. If you don't send enough information about your dispute, the credit bureau can choose your dispute is frivolous and decline to investigate the dispute or update your credit report. But, if your dispute is reliable, the credit bureau will conduct a research, which is often as simple as asking the creditor if the information is genuine, and come back to you with a reply.

If the dispute is successful and your credit report is updated, the bureau will make the change, alert the other credit bureaus, and send you an updated copy of your credit report. On the other hand, if the item isn't removed from your credit report, your report might be modified to show that you have disputed the information and you will be given the opportunity to add a personal statement to your credit report. Individual statements don't impact your credit rating, but give further insight into your dispute when a business manually review your credit report.

After you have fixed the bad things on your credit report, focus on getting positive information added. Just like late repayments seriously hurt your credit score, on time payments help your score. If you have some credit cards and loans being noted on time, good. Continue to keep those balances at a affordable level and make your payments on time.
