GUERRILLA TACTICS THAT WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD CREDIT RATING
LEARNING HOW TO GET CONNECTED WITH GOOD CREDIT
Obtaining credit can be incredibly easy or extremely difficult.
Once you have established credit, it can open doors of opportunity
you never even considered being a possibility. Credit can allow you
to take the dream vacation of a lifetime, drive a luxury car, dress
in the latest fashions, achieve the American dream of owning your own
home, or starting your very own business.
The fact is, now that society has rapidly shifted into the fast
lane of being a cashless society, it would be almost unthinkable not
to have credit. People who have the misfortune of losing their good
credit rating in today's world, will most certainly immediately begin
to feel like social outcasts.
It is a very traumatic experience when people find out something
is wrong with their credit. Millions of people have been, and will
continue to be notified they now have bad credit. Many don't seem
to understand how it all came about! What they do know, however, is
that all of a sudden they aren't as well-off as someone who still has
their good credit.
Without good credit, people soon discover it's difficult to just
keep up with the no-frills, everyday existence items that are needed.
Unless an individual knows how to improve, increase and repair their
own credit, they will have to overcome many obstacles.
Most people don't have the slightest idea of where to begin. But
once you read the following "GUERRILLA TACTICS" you will learn how
to quickly improve and repair your good credit starting Today!
TO PUT YOUR PLAN IN MOTION YOU MUST
KNOW WHO THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES ARE
Credit Bureaus are extremely powerful organization. Going against
a credit reporting agency is almost like a military encounter. Fortunately,
once you're armed with the Guerrilla Tactics provided in this report,
you can rise to the occasion of winning both the battle and the war!
In the beginning it may appear as if Credit Bureaus have the advantage.
After all, if you are an adult living in America, the overwhelming
odds are that a credit bureau somewhere knows who you are, where you
live, the name of every employer you ever worked for, how many times
you applied for credit, how many times you were denied or approved,
and how many time you were late in making a payment. Similarly, it's
all in a credit report that once accessed by a subscriber, will tell
them whether or not you should receive additional credit. The ultimate
decision is arrived at by looking at the entries in your file.

TO ACHIEVE YOUR CREDIT GOALS, YOU HAVE TO OBTA
INYOUR CREDIT REPORT AND THEN ATTACH WITH PRECISION!
There are approximately 5,000 credit reporting and collection agencies
operating in the United States today. If a credit problem exists it
may or may not be brought to your attention. For example, damaging
inquiries and variations may appear in your file without your knowledge.
However, if you apply for credit and there is a problem whereby you
were rejected, you would be notified by the lender and told that the
credit application denial was the result of a credit bureau report.
If you either know or suspect you have a credit problem, there is
no way to know what you are up against unless you get a copy of your
credit report. This is where any major roadblock to getting credit
will surface.
Even before you attempt to obtain or increase credit lines, you
should first obtain all credit reports that are available on you.
You can accomplish that by calling for one or more of the credit bureaus
listed and asking for your credit report. There may be a small fee
for this service. However, if your application for credit is denied
by a creditor, then you can receive a credit report at no charge from
the credit reporting agency. We recommend that you do not wait until
a credit card company, bank, or other lender denies your application
for credit, before you obtain the report.
Even if you don't suspect a problem, you should get a credit report
on yourself just to identify any false of incorrect information that
has been entered into your file. Damaging computer errors, human entry
errors, incorrect social security numbers, addresses, employers, and
income errors happen all the time. At the very least, you should make
certain you haven't become the victim of computer error.
ACCELERATING YOUR CREDIT APPROVAL
BY MATCHING & CONTROLLING CONNECTIONS
Bankers and lenders in a certain geographic area usually turn to
one credit reporting agency. There are many, however, that subscribe
to more than one. That can work in your favor because in many cases
your complete credit history may never be accessed by a credit bureau
located in another area.
Your credit file could list multiple damaging information in one
credit report, but never show up in another! By obtaining your credit
reports in advance, you will know which lender to approach for credit.
All you have to do is ask!
HOW TO ACTIVATE A BANKER'S DESIRE
TO FORCE MONEY INTO YOUR HANDS!
By applying for credit through a bank of other lender that subscribes
to a credit reporting agency outside the area, there's every reason
to believe that some damaging information will not appear in your file.
Remember, the only way bankers and lenders can survive is to extend
credit to consumers. By taking steps to sidestep one credit report
that has negative entries, and taking advantage of another that show
you as a good credit risk, creditors will practically force hard cash
into your hand. Here's how:
- Obtain a credit report form one of the credit bureaus to determine
if there are damaging entries that might cause your credit application
to be denied.
- Call several banks of other lenders and ask the receptionist,
etc., which credit bureau they use in their application approval process.
If the individual tells you they don't know, ask them to find out.
- Select a bank or lender that subscribes to a credit reporting
agency other than the one typically used in the area.
- Obtain a credit report from the credit reporting agency that your
selected lender uses.
- Repeat step number 4 until you find a report that is favorable
to your and shows the least negative entries.
- The only thing left for you to do is apply with that bank, lender,
or other creditor that subscribes to the credit bureau that has a credit
report the most favorable to you.
BULLDOG TACTICS SO POWERFULTHEY'RE DEVILISH!
When you receive your credit report, write down every piece of information
that is inaccurate or untrue. Even if an entry is partially true,
you may still want to dispute it. Especially if your credit report
will be improved as a result.
Read all of the instructions on the back of your credit report very
carefully. Symbols may be used for much of the information entered
and you will have to understand each one. It's easy to become confused
but a number you can call if you have a question will be provided.
Here are steps you can take to have damaging entries removed from
your credit report:
- Make a list of inaccurate or untrue entries that you find in your
credit report.
- Call the credit bureau and tell the appropriate person that you
want to dispute an entry you have noted on your credit report.
- Don't allow any credit bureau employee to talk you out of proceeding
with your appeal. To avoid a distracting confrontation, don't even
tell them you want to challenge. They won't initiate any action on
your behalf anyway until they receive your appeal request in writing.
- To initiate the proper appeal procedure, ask the person you speak
with to send you a "Dispute Form."
- Complete the "Dispute Form" and return it to the credit bureau by
certified mail.
- When the credit bureau receives your written dispute request they
will then attempt to verify the dispute you ahve indicated with the
bank, lender, or creditor responsible for having the damaging information
listed.
- You will be notified of their decision withon 30-45 days.
This technique will work for you to eliminate negative entries from
your credit report for one of two reasons. 1) Most creditors don't
hang on to old files. They either place them in storage or throw them
out. That means they won't be able to easily verify your dispute,
if at all! 2) Many other past creditors simply don't care to waste
their time verifying the accuracy of a credit report that isn't relevant
to making money right here and now!
That is the basis of why credit repair clinics were so successful
when they came on the scene. They knew form experience that by created
a flood of challenges directly to a credit bureau, sooner or later
credotrs who continually received inquiries would become frustrated
and simply not respond. They also knew that if the credit bureau didn't
receive a response from the creditor they mailed an inquiry to, on
your behalf, within 30 days, the damaging remark by law had to be removed.
Thus, a cleaned-up credit report.
BEWARE OF DOUBLE-TROUBLE
CREDIT REPAIR CLINICS
"Credit Counseling" and "Commercial Counseling" services are two completely
different things. Before you sign any papers that end up causing you
even more financial harm, you better know who you are dealing with!
Whereas credit counseling services are generally non-profit, commercial
counseling services (clinics) may charge you 10%-15% or more of your
total debt. Meanwhile, the services provided by the non-profit agency
is basically the same.
"GRAND-SLAM SUCCESS"
DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT!
Just about everyone at one time or another has experienced some kind
of problem with their cash flow. that's when it became difficult to
pay the montly bills and keep up with credit obligations. When that
happens, damaging information may begin to appear in your credit file,
and bad times can become even worse.
For many people it becomes difficult, if not impossible to obtain
any further credit, just when there is a desperate need for it. Unfortunately,
banks, lenders, and othe rcreditors do not extend credit on the basis
of need. Credit can swiftly be taken away form anyone who cannot demonstrate
they are a good credit risk.
Most people can be successful in overcoming credit rejections that
have resulted due to damaging information showing up on a credit report.
The problem that most people run into, is that they become desperate
and will rsort to anything and anyone that comes along with false promises.
Then they find themselves in deeper trouble because they'vehanded out
more moeny they don't have, to a crook who gives them nothing in return.
Giving yourself a grand-slam, clean-credit slate doesn't happen by
accident. There are a number of techniques and methods that can be
utilized to create or restore a good credit record.
The following information is being provided to you on the basis taht
is have been successfully used by others. None of the information
is being recommended as techniques you should use. If you decide to
use any of the information contained in this report, it is recommended
that you first consult with an attorney to obtain legal advice.
TACTICS & TECHNIQUES THAT MAKE
COLLECTION AGENCIES BEG FOR MERCY!
The "Get-Off-My-Back" Wage Earner Plan!
Using Federal Bankruptcy Act, Chapter XIII - Wage Earner Plan, you
can file for immediate relief form unmerciful creditors and collection
agencies. To be eligible, your monthly bills must exceed your income,
and your major income must be earned from a salary or commission.
You can file for the Wage Earner Relief Plan simply by contacting
your attorney or the U.S. District Court nearest you. Ask to speak
to the person who administers the plan.
Generally within three days of filing, a restraining order will be
issued to all of your creditors. Which Will:
- Stop creditors, collection agencies, lenders, or anyone else who
has been notified from contacting or harassing you any further.
- Immediately stop all action against you that had been initiated
by creditor. (Note: For this relief plan to work, it must be accepted
by a majority of your creditors. If the majority agrees to the plan,
all others must comply.
- Immediately stop interest and late charges from accumulating any
further.
YOU CAN SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF THAT
FORCES CREDIT BUREAUS TO STOP REPORTING
NEGATIVE CREDIT INFORMATION FROM YOUR FILE!
"Injuctive Relief" is an effective legal maneuver that can permanently
remove damaging information from your credit report. You will, however,
probably require the services of an attorney. This is how it works!
If you can clearly demonstrate that information appearing in your
credit report is inaccurate and is damaging your character, credibility,
or ability to obtain credit, you can seek Injunctive Relief through
the courts. Once relief is granted, a Judge can order a Credit Bureau
to immediately stop reporting any damaging information appearing in
your credit report as outlined in the order, until such time as a trial
or investigation is conducted.
After you, or your attorney, succeed in persuading a Judge to issue
an order for Injunctive Relief, you will have from that moment on until
the conclusion of a trial or investigation, to obtain new credit.
THE "HERE'S JOHNNY!" CHANGE OF ADDRESS METHOD
Here is another way you can eliminate damaging entries from your credit
report:
- You can magically appear in a completely different part of the country
from where you really live, simply by creating a new address for yourself.
Just ask a friend or relative to receive your mail at their address
and have everything forwarded to that address. The further away, the
better. If you don't know anyone that lives well out of the area,
rent a mail drop location. All of your mail will be forwarded by the
mail drop to any address you like.
- After you have established a new address, you can request a credit
report from the bureau that services that particular area. Apply with
lenders that use this bureau. What you will generally find is that
the credit bureau you are now dealing with will have a limited ability
to verify negative items appearing elsewhere.
CHECK BANKRUPTCY OFF YOUR CREDIT FILE,
BY CHECKING IT OUT!
The following method of manipulation works (according to some who
have used it) when combined with the precious "change of address" method.
Just follow these next five steps!
- Discuss the technique with an attorney who is willing to help.
- Because bankruptcy is overseen by federal courts, bankruptcy files
are kept in the federal archives.
- Before you apply for credit have your attorney request to have your
file "checked-out" form the federal archives.
- Using your out-of-state address as described in the previous "change
of address" method, follow the normal procedure used for appealing
any damaging information appearing on your credit report.
- As long as your attorney has your bankruptcy file, a credit reporting
agency will not be able to verify its contents. If they cannot make
verifications within 30 days, they must remove the damaging information
form your credit report. Because credit bureaus can request an extension,
your attorney may have to repeat the process several times. It becomes
a question of who will tire first. According to those-in-the-know,
it's usually the credit bureau.
TELL YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY
AND "SMASH" DAMAGING ENTRIES
Another way to challenge and neutralize entries that appear on your
credit report is by taking advantage of the "100-Word Consumer Statement."
This method allows you to tell everyone who obtains your report your
side of the story. A simple statement may be all it takes to convince
a bank, lender or other creditor that a negative piece of information
that is appearing in your file, was nothing more than an unfortunate
incident ath couldn't be prevented at the time.
For example, you have been layed-off with hundreds of other workers
and suddenly found yourself out of work. By telling your side of the
story, a lender will understand why you had problems paying off your
credit obligations.
Be certain to be sincere, honest, and not too wordy. Never express
anger or hatred. Allow creditors to give you the benefit-of-a-doubt,
and the credit you deserve. Ask the credit bureau about placing a
100-word consumer statement into your file.
HOW TO REMOVE A JUDGEMENT
THROUGH A "MOTION TO VACATE"
People have reportedly removed damaging entries (such as judgements)
from their credit files by using the following method:
- Hire an attorney who is willing to help you with yout goal of having
damaging entries removed form your credit file.
- Ask your attorney to file a motion of Service of Process for the
purpose of having a damaging judgement entry removed from your credit
file. It may be a weak argument for sure, but in this motion, your
attorney will argue that the process was served improperly. People
have reported that this technique will ultimately work in your favor.
- By filing a motion of "Service of Process" you are forcing a creditor
to appear in court with an attorney to prove the initial legal process
was done properly.
- This legal maneuver works in your favor because, if the lender responsible
for the judgement (for example) has been paid, why would he even want
to go through the time and expense of showing up?
- If you show up and the creditor doesn't, you will win your case
through default. Then you will have the legal ammunition necessary
to have the damaging judgement information removed from your credit
file.
HOW TO UNCONDITIONALLY FORCE CREDIT BUREAUS
TO QUICKLY GIVE YOU THE ADVANTAGE BY PLACING
POSITIVE INFORMATION INTO YOUR CREDIT REPORT
According to Federal Laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC), if a credit report results in a debtor's application for credit
being denied, that person has the right to add information that will
show a more positive credit history.
All you have to do is contact the credit bureau of your choice and
ask them to contact a list of banks, lenders, or other creditors whose
names you will provide, for the purpose of having the credit information
they provide on you added to your credit file. there may be a small
fee, but the good news is that you will practically be able to force
a credit reporting agency to improve the substance of your file by
putting positive entries on your credit report.
The only businesses you should list are those with whom you have had
a flawless credit relationship with. Contact the poeple on your list
and let them know a credit reporting agency will be calling or send
them a questionnaire. After information has been received and verified,
the bureau can add positive items to your credit report.
THE EQUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITY ACT & WOMEN
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, women have the right to build
up their own credit without being discriminated against. Women who
do not apply for credit in thei own names are at a ditinct disadvantage.
In the event of a divorce or death of a mate, there wouldn't be a credit
history reflecting any personal contributions.
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act there is not reason for women
to lose their identity when they are married. You can become familiar
with all of your rightss as a woman by writing to the following address
