Credit Scoring
Part IV: Credit Remediation


If you have clients in need of credit remediation, and especially if you live in an area where this is an overall problem within the population, you should seek to align yourself with a credible referral source for credit repair. While government web sites will suggest that self-help may be the best option, keep in mind that for the most part these people lack discipline when it comes to spending and making payments. They are not likely to have the diligence to research and remedy their own credit problems.

The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit repair services, and they provide free information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid businesses with fraudulent, deceptive, or unfair practices.

Be familiar with the Credit Repair Organizations Act as you seek out a genuine ally in this area. Research their background and make sure this company will cast a good reflection on you when you refer your clients to them.

I have a company that I use for this purpose, and they have a proven track record of keeping in touch with my clients and me on a regular basis, while my clients are going through the remediation process. Their work is 100% guaranteed, which means that if they are not able to meet the commitments outlined at the commencement of the process, then there is no charge to the consumer.

I have also developed marketing literature on the topic of credit repair, which I pass out to my clients to help them understand credit scoring. This provides them with information about what they can do to immediately help improve their credit score. Subsequently, in many cases, they are able to obtain the financing for the home they wish to purchase.

From there, I continually keep an eye out for new options as their credit standing improves, and seek to place them in a lower interest loan as time progresses. I feel it is my responsibility to do more than simply quote rates and provide a loan, but rather to help them manage their debt on an ongoing basis to meet their long-term goals.

Let me know when you would like to set an appointment and talk about what I can do to assist your clients who are in need of credit remediation services. I look forward to assisting you in this area.
