Bad Credit? Avoid These 3 Critical Mistakes

A poor credit score will most likely affect you if it hasn’t already. In the current economy, a FICO score of 600 or below will lump you in with the 68 million other Americans who are also struggling in the realm of credit.

A poor credit score will undeniably have adverse effects on your financial future if not addressed.

If you have fallen into a bad credit situation, avoid these three critical mistakes to keep it from going from bad to worse.
1. Failing to learn how to improve your situation
If you have bad credit, it’s imperative that you educate yourself about how credit works and the necessary steps to improve your situation. You can start right now by making on time payments and paying down your balances, as these factors are the largest weights on your credit report.

2. Neglecting the problem
Don’t keep your head in the sand! Neglecting the problem will only make it worse. This is a stressful way to live as you will constantly have the prospect of lawsuits, wage garnishments, or bankruptcy looming over you.

3. Falling for debt relief scams
According to a Federal Trade Commission report, 1.7 million Americans fell victim to debt relief scams in 2013. Disreputable agencies will often take advantage of someone’s dire financial situation through promising upfront cash and later charging an incredibly high interest rate. Do not do business with agencies that sound too good to be true. Furthermore, always know that promising money up front and “no credit check required” are often red flags of a company looking to prey on your bad credit situation.
Bad credit situations happen. There’s always an opportunity to get back on track! To learn more about improving your credit and avoiding critical mistakes, contact Moodie Bluez Consulting.

A Cause for Bad Credit – Eliminate Debt To…

It is quite understandable that credit scores play a big role in our financial lives. A good credit score (generally above 700) helps you receive fast approvals for renting an apartment or helps you receive better insurance rates for a car or house. While a good credit score can get you far, there are large numbers of Americans who have poor or bad credit. A common reason why many people may have poor credit is that they lack an understanding of which factors actually impact their credit score or how to improve their credit. If you want a bright financial future, it’s important to understand how to build good credit.

What Affects Your Credit Score?

There are five factors that make up your credit score. We call these The Big Five:

Your credit history. This accounts for 35% of your overall credit score.
Your amounts owed, accounting for another 30%.
The types of credits you have.
How long you are using credit
How often are you applying for new credit (Inquiries)

Of the five factors that calculate your credit score, your payment history is the primary weighing factor affects your credit score. The number one contributor to a bad credit is the inability make reliable payments and accumulating debt. If thousands of dollars in debt is the primary cause of your bad credit, it best to setup a debt repayment plan to eliminate your debt.

The Debt Snowball Plan

A great repayment plan option would be the ‘debt snowball plan’. Debt snowball plan is a debt reduction strategy. It is a good option if you have multiple debt payments, such as credit cards and loans. This plan suggests that you pay off debts in order from the smallest debt working your way up to the largest until you’ve gained enough momentum to wipe them all clean. This method works because if in any circumstance you start paying your largest debt first, you would see a slower progress than if you started off with a smaller one. This causes one to feel less motivated which affects our ability to stick with your plan towards debt freedom. There are several other repayment plan options which can help you eliminate debt. You can work with a credit counseling agency, a debt consolidation program, or a credit repair consultant like Moodie Bluez Consulting. When it comes to eliminating debt, it is important to at least have a plan. Regardless of which plan you choose, it is always important to remember to keep with the plan – because having low debt and a high credit score is key to your financial life!

Identity Theft

Tips to Survive That Massive Equifax Data Breach

Hearing you may have been part of a data breach is never good thing, especially when that breach happened in July to credit reporting agency giant Equifax. Add to that, they waited to inform the public. More than 143 million Americans had their personal data compromised. Take out all of the children below 18 years old and it’s likely more than 50% of US adults. Let’s assume you have been affected.

However you don’t need to live in fear. There are steps you can take to keep your personal information safe. We have taken our time to get our tips out to you so we could compile all of the data and ensure all the information is accurate and up to date.

Here are tips to help protect yourself….

1) As a precaution you should put a fraud alert on your credit.

This is a good way to help protect your credit because lenders who pull your credit must take extra precautions to verify that it is you applying for the loan. It makes the loan process a little more cumbersome; however, a little extra time getting the loan is worth the inconvenience of your identity being stolen. You may contact any of the three credit bureaus; Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. That one bureau will then contact the other two to add your fraud alert.

Equifax— 1-800-349-9960
Experian— 1‑888‑397‑3742
TransUnion— 1-888-909-8872

If you’d like to go through Equifax on the web follow the link below:
https://www.alerts.equifax.com/AutoFraud_Online/jsp/fraudAlert.jsp

There are three types of fraud alerts. You’ll need to choose which one is best for you…

Initial Fraud Alert – If you’re concerned about identity theft, but haven’t yet become a victim, this fraud alert will protect your credit from unverified access for at least 90 days. You may want to place a fraud alert on your file if your wallet, Social Security card, or other personal, financial or account information are lost or stolen.

Extended Fraud Alert – For victims of identity theft, an extended fraud alert will protect your credit for seven years.

Active Duty Military Alert – For those in the military who want to protect their credit while deployed, this fraud alert lasts for one year.

2) Want even more protection? Have your credit frozen.

If you’re looking for even more protection this is a sure way to lock your credit down. No one can pull it until you unfreeze the report. Please keep in mind that this does NOT prevent illegal access to existing accounts. It can be more cumbersome in the loan process, but if you feel that your credit is at risk for identity theft, it is the best way to go. You can contact any of the credit bureaus for a credit freeze and will need to supply certain personal information. Some fees may apply for freezing your credit and/or removing the freeze, depending on the agency ($5 in NYS).

Some additional information can be found below
https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs
https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/credit-education/preventing-fraud/security-freeze/new-york/

You may wonder which is right for you and what is the difference between a fraud alert and a credit freeze…

The FTC’s website states – A credit freeze locks down your credit. A fraud alert allows creditors to get a copy of your credit report as long as they take steps to verify your identity. For example, if you provide a telephone number, the business must call you to verify whether you are the person making the credit request. Fraud alerts may be effective at stopping someone from opening new credit accounts in your name, but they may not prevent the misuse of your existing accounts. You still need to monitor all bank, credit card and insurance statements for fraudulent transactions.

3) Monitor your credit report for fraudulent activity

We also advise taking extra steps to monitor your credit report for fraudulent activity. Credit Karma is a free website that will give you minimum coverage of your credit information. Do not put much stock in their credit scores though. Their scoring data is not timely and will rarely reflect the scores you get from credit grantors. However, they will generally alert you when a new account comes onto your credit report. You can get more information by going to www.creditkarma.com

If you would like an extra level of identity theft security and don’t mind paying then check out LifeLock. They have several plans with different levels of service and protection.
