How to increase your credit report ?

As promised I will teach you how to increase your credit report.First of all you may ask why should I increase my credit report?How it affect my insurance rates?Will I get cheap car insurance if I have a good credit report?The answer is yes.Many insurance companies will look your credit report.If you have a good credit report, that means you are a regular buyer and you will pay less.All insurance companies will trust you more and you will pay less.So your credit report is important.A good credit report is more than 700.Fair is less that 500.There is not such a thing like perfect credit report.You can increase it more and more.Your credit report is important part of your life.

If you have a good credit report it will be good, but if your credit report is low, you can increase it.First of all you have to understand that there is not a fast way to increase it.You need time and patience.There are many companies on the Internet that offer you to increase your credit report and so to lower your insurance premiums, but my advice is first try to increase it without a company.If not possible, you can hire a credit repairing company.

So first thing is to run a credit report check.It is free.What is not free is credit monitoring and identity theft protection.Although it is not free, I can suggest you to get these.If you want to get 100% free credit report you can go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com.It is a site supported by the government.But if you want I'd strongly recommend you to get also credit monitoring and identity theft protection.There are many cases of identity thefts, so better protect your privacy.As I've mentioned it is not free, but it is cheap.Keep in mind that if you become a victim of identity theft you will have a lot of problems.If you don't want to pay it is OK, it is up to you ... your life your money.

OK, now you have your credit report.First thing is to check for mistakes.Probably there will be a lot of mistakes, but don't worry, it is normal.You just need to check your report carefully and to report your mistakes to all 3 agencies.You can find more information on how to dispute your errors on their sites.Keep in mind that these agencies support their own dispute centers.So go to www.equifax.com, www.experian.com, www.transunion.com, and check their contact information.In most of the cases you will need to send them a letter and they will response you in a month.

OK, this article will be continued in the next post.There are more interesting things you will learn.So keep reading.
