Little known facts about YOUR credit report ...
Changes are afoot! According the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), you are entitled to a FREE copy of your credit report if you meet any of the following guidelines:
·Are unemployed and are planning to look for a job within 60 days. ·Are currently on welfare. ·Are a victim of identity theft and your report is inaccurate because of this fraud.
And since September 2005, every person is entitled to - and can get a copy of--his credit report for free once every 12 months, thanks to new rules set down by the FTC.
Oh, so you say you already have a copy of your report. And it's just as you suspected. It needs a major overhaul. Don't be so depressed. Millions of Americans are in the same position as you. It's not hopeless.
So now what do you do with it? You have three options. You can just be fatalistic about it and pay the exorbitant interest rates associated with poor credit. Or you can trust a credit-repair company of questionable origins to make the necessary changes on your behalf--depleting probably an already finite supply of income.
