Credit Lesson #7, Secrets For Resubmitting Disputes
Tips For Resubmitting A Credit Dispute
- Be persistent! Become more insistent, but not more threatening, with each dispute. As you submit one dispute after another, it may become increasingly difficult to get the checker to initiate an investigation. Your first one or two disputes should be friendly and polite. Just like any other consumer, you can become frustrated and threatening as time passes. You may threaten to hire an attorney, you may threaten to complain to the FTC and your state’s attorney general, etc. But don’t overdo it.
- Be creative – Create and utilize other techniques that help further the idea that the dispute letter is from a truly wronged and disadvantaged consumer. The checker is only interested in investigating disputes that truly are erroneous and damaging. Again, because the agencies are flooded with requests, they tend to give priority to those that seem most urgent.
- Do not bombard the credit bureaus with disputes (about the same listings, that is). Sending one dispute right after another is wasteful and counterproductive. You may wind up alienating the credit agency so that they hold up your progress. (Remember, they cannot legally stop you from restoring accurate information but the people who run the agencies, like anyone else, probably do not respond well to harassment.) Also remember, that credit repair is a time-consuming operation requiring great patience. The rule of thumb is to wait 60 days between disputes of the same listing.
Alfredo, Have you checked out the Credit Repair Bible yet? I highly recommend my clients take a look at it because it is an awesome resource that reinforces all that I do for them… It is packed with a ton of “credit repair secrets”, especially tips and tricks that I often use… As well as a easy-to-follow planning guide.

Credit Lesson #6, Be Sure To Document!
Always Document Your Credit Repair Efforts
As soon as you have ordered your credit reports and photocopied your order letters and checks, you must create a precise organizational system to track your correspondences with the credit bureaus and your creditors.
Why is this necessary?
Unfortunately, credit items you have worked so hard to remove mysteriously reappear. If this happens, it is usually easy to have the items deleted permanently if you show your complete records on the first removal. Why take a chance? As you proceed through these steps, keep copies and records of all correspondence you send and receive. Copies of all correspondence are a must, as well as notes on all telephone conversations!
Also, if you should encounter any special difficulty and would like help in fixing your credit problems, you will need these records to proceed.
Every time you have a telephone conversation with a creditor, you must document the conversation by recording the name of the person to whom you spoke, his or her position, the date and time of the conversation, what was said in the conversation, and what was agreed upon.
I know it sounds a little daunting which is why I am a big fan of using a reputable credit repair law firm unless you know you will be able to stay on top of all these issues.

Credit Lesson #2, What Does It All Mean?
How To Read Your Report – “What Does It All Mean??”
At first glance, a credit report may look like it’s written in a foreign language. But if you take your time and look through it, you’ll easily be able to understand it. Your job is to locate all the negative items on your report.
You may find alphanumeric coding on your credit report. This coding is used to record the type of account and your payment history.
Below is a key indicating what these letters and numbers mean: O = Open (Open 30 days) R = Revolving [Has regular payments and a predetermined spending limit (credit cards)] I = Installment [Has regular payments and no access to continued spending (mortgage, car loans)] M = Mortgage C = Line of credit
0 = Too new to rate 1 = Current, Paid as agreed 2 = 30 days past due 3 = 60 days past due 4 = 90 days past due 5 = 120 days past due 6 = 150 days past due 7 = Account is under a wage earner payment plan or bankruptcy 8 = Repossession or foreclosure 9 = Collection account or charge off account U = Unrated
If you have this type of coding on your report, you can quickly go down the relevant column and find any negative items. O1, R1 or I1 would indicate an excellent payment history. Obviously, anything ending in 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 or 9 would indicate a negative payment history on the account.
Identifying the negative items is important because I will show you how to get those items removed and raise your credit score in a future lesson… keep an eye out for it!
