Repairing Credit?
I just paid everything off that was negative on my credit report. How long until the score goes up and I can get a loan for a house?

- This really will depend on the nature of the debt (collection, open credit card, etc) If for instance, you paid down your credit card amounts then your score will go up fairly quickly. If you paid a debt from 1989 because it showed up, then it may take longer, as it was an older account that was in collections. Hope this helps! Good luck!
- How exactly can you repair your credit? Here are the simple steps in repairing your credit by yourself. The first step in repairing your credit is to get your credit reports and review them. It is better to obtain credit reports from more than one credit bureau<!--and get reports from the bureaus that are well-known and reputable in your country. The difference is that these credit bureaus are most likely the ones from which companies will get your records. http://best-loans.awardspace.com/repaircredit.htm When you are reviewing your records, list all the items that you think will not look well on your records. Aside from simply listing down these items, as you run through them, come up with reasons why you are disputing them. When you dispute these items with the credit bureau-->you will need to give a reason why you are doing so.Once you have identified which items you want to dispute, and why, you can write a dispute letter to the credit bureaus.
