Credit $marts program free on Web to parents, teachers (Billings Gazette)
Before beginning a full-scale attack on one’s bad credit and repair of a negative credit report the person must first address each of the negative items and resolve them. Resolution may take many forms, which we will explore here. From a credit repair standpoint the significant starting point is “closing the book” on each of the bad credit items on the credit report. A horrible but old and closed bad credit item most often gets viewed better than an open current bad credit item. Believe it or not, a viable resolution method turns out to be a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In this context the bankruptcy paves the way to the first step of credit repair by putting an end to the old bad credit items. While bankruptcy adds it’s own significantly terrible credit reporting item, bankruptcy by definition will be “resolved” when the case ends. In the early stages of bad a credit incident the easiest and best solution can be catching up on a payment. As with many of the circumstances we will discuss the prior late payment will still appear on the credit report. The important point being discussed in this section is resolving the initial issue. Catching up on a past due payment constitutes resolution. When payments continue delinquent for a long enough time catching up may become out of reach. Negotiating a payment plan with the creditor either directly or with the aid of a credit counselor constitutes resolution of the item for credit repair purposes. Settlement of a debt, even at a fraction of the original amount due, means resolution.
