Can you help while I'm going through a bankruptcy?

Is credit repair worth it? Why?
To know whether credit repair is worth it, you just have to look at what your credit impacts. These days, it seems like it's just about everything. When you start realizing how far it goes, it's easy to do a little math. Not having ideal credit can cost you thousands and thousands of dollars over the course of a home or car loan. It can keep you from getting insurance coverage or even a job. It can make even everyday needs and decisions more difficult.

Luckily, having the experts at National New Beginnings working to help you tackle your credit issues costs only $49.99 to start and a low monthly fee as you see your results.

Do you offer debt settlement?
Mcallen Credit Repair focuses upon how your credit reports look. In other words, they work to help you safeguard your financial reputation so that you can get the credit you deserve. On the other hand, debt settlement companies offer something very different – they negotiate with your creditors to create payment plans. Sadly, sometimes those debt negotiators can make your credit reports look even worse. Credit repair is unique. Rather than settling your debts, they work to help ensure that problematic negative items on your credit report are substantiated, relevant, accurate and reported fairly. And they work hard to help get them removed when those standards are not met.

What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act and why was it created?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was written in 1970 as an amendment to the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The FCRA provides additional measures of consumer protection in the areas of fairness, accuracy, and privacy of the information collected by the credit bureaus. It also allows you to personally engage in credit repair and maintenance processes, verifying that the information in your credit report is correct.
What are the three credit bureaus?
A credit bureau - sometimes called a "consumer reporting agency" - is a business that collects relevant consumer information from creditors and courthouses, and then sells that information to interested parties such as potential lenders. Such information is sold in the form of a credit report. In the U.S., the three major credit bureaus are TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
What is a charge off and how do I remove or fix them on my credit report?
When an account is unpaid for more than 180 days, a creditor usually writes off the debt as a loss on their financial statements. This is known as a charge off. Once a debt is charged off, it is either transferred to an in-house collections department or sold to a third-party collection agency who will likely contact you in attempt to recoup the balance.

Why is credit repair important?
Credit affects every area of life. When your credit is bad, it follows that your life may face similar hardships in the areas of:
You aren't the only one who benefits from better credit. The U.S. depends on responsible behavior from its citizens to keep the economy running smoothly. Roughly 70 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is fueled by consumer spending. The GDP is the current market value of all goods and services. When consumer debt exceeds an amount that government can safely liquidate, inflation occurs to bridge the gap. This process devalues the dollar and drives up market prices, making it more difficult to maintain the same standard of living over time. Americans are forced to spend less, resulting in an economic stall. Extreme cases can lead to national depressions and crises such as the housing market crash. While spending too little is never good for the economy, spending too much may be equally damaging.
When it comes to good credit, the stakes are high. Do yourself and your country a favor by taking the necessary steps to improve your life. It's never too late to make a change.
- Loan applications. Lenders rely on credit to recommend new customers. When your credit is low, your borrowing power is stifled by risk. In this economy, mortgage and auto lenders are tightening their restrictions when it comes to drafting new loans. More is required of the average borrower, including a sizable down-payment and a credit score of 720 or higher. If your credit score is stalled, it could spell trouble when applying for a new loan.
- Interest rates. Interest rates depend heavily on your credit score, a number that is calculated based on the level of risk found in your credit report. If your past is peppered with late payments, collections, bankruptcy, etc., the result may equal higher interest rates. As your credit score improves, you're likely to see a reduction in interest, allowing you to save money over time.
- Insurance premiums. Insurance is the business side of risk mitigation, so it's no surprise that a clean credit report results in better rates. Insurance providers rely on your financial track record to determine your risk levels in other areas of life. A low credit score is often viewed as high-risk behavior.
- Employment opportunities. Many employers now require credit checks before hiring a new team member. The job market is competitive, and managers use this strategy to gauge a new-hire's level of responsibility. Despite your qualifications, a bad credit report is likely to make you seem disorganized and careless—two qualities that should never appear on your resume.
- Savings. Favorable loan terms, interest rates, insurance premiums, and employment all add up to one sum: savings. A good credit score means leaner options. The less money you spend, the more you'll have to save for emergencies, retirement, and education.
