Let us help you make good credit and financial
 independence a reality, not just a dream!
The Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1971

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was
 passed by congress with the intention to
 regulate the credit reporting agencies and
 promote the accuracy of the information in
 consumer credit reports.
The Act spelled out all the rules and
 regulations that the credit-reporting agencies
 had to follow before they added anything to a
 consumer’s credit report. Information about
 “you” has to be accurate and verified before it
 is entered on your credit reports.
The Federal Trade Commission is the
 government agency responsible for enforcing
 the FCRA
The 3 Major Credit Reporting Agencies (CRA’s)
Experian (Fair Isaac Corporation)
Equifax (Beacon)
TransUnion (Empirica)


            What do the CRA’s do?
Collect and maintain information about consumer’s
 credit history. This information is obtained from
 banks, credit card companies and various financial
 institutions.
The CRA’s sell this information to lenders and other
 creditors.
The CRA’s are not part of the government.
What’s the definition of “inaccurate,
     erroneous, or obsolete?”
 Inaccurate information is any information that
  cannot be verified by the CRA and/or the creditor
  grantor.
 Erroneous information is any information that
  has been entered onto a consumer’s credit report
  due to human error (data entry error), Social
  Security Number mismatch error, mixed file error,
  similar name error. “reasonable procedures” were
  not followed when the information was entered on
  the credit report, or any such related error. This
  happens more often than you think!
 Obsolete information is any information that is
  beyond the industry standard of seven years; or ten
  years for bankruptcy.
Are Credit Reports Accurate?
 Nearly 80% of all consumer credit reports have significant errors
 25% of which are serious enough to potentially result in a credit
  denial
 These errors could affect credit scores by 50 points or more




            How do these errors occur?
 Loans, payment data or credit card information is applied to the
  wrong account
 When filling out credit applications with different names, i.e., Bill
  Smith versus William Smith
 Your Social Security number was entered incorrectly on the
  application
 A clerical error was made when the lender transferred the data from
  the application
What Are Credit Scores?
 A method that uses statistical models to evaluate
  your credit worthiness
 Reflective of a borrower's past payment history,
  outstanding credit balances, and available credit
  capacity at a given point in time
 Creditors use these scores, known as FICO scores,
  when deciding whether or not to offer credit to
  consumers
 FICO scores range from 300 to 850 points
What Makes Up Your Credit Score?
            5 key components to your credit score
             Your buying and bill paying habits (35%)
             Amount of credit you owe versus your
               available credit (30%)
             The length of your credit history (15%)
             Types of credit used/your credit mix (10%)
             New credit that you are applying for (10%)



         How Credit Affects You
The interest rate you pay on credit cards and loans
Your ability to get a checking account
Rates on your auto insurance
Employment
5 Ways to Establish Credit
1.   Apply for a gasoline or department store charge. These
     are usually easier to obtain than other credit cards.
2.   Apply for a secured credit card. You will be required to
     deposit a specified amount, usually $300 to $500 dollars into an
     account in their bank, and you will be issued a major credit card
     in the amount of the deposit.
3.   Take out a small loan from your credit union or bank.
     Deposit the money into your savings account and pay the loan
     back monthly.
4.   If you currently have credit, ask your creditors to
     increase your credit limit. This will improve your credit
     utilization ratio thereby improving your credit score.
5.   If you do not have a checking and savings account,
     apply for both. Having these accounts establishes you as part
     of the financial community and allows you to manage your
     money.
Secured Credit Cards
One of the best ways to establish credit
You will be required to deposit a specified amount,
 usually $300 to $500 dollars into an account in
 their bank, and you will be issued a major credit
 card in the amount of the deposit.
Report every 30 days to the credit bureaus
Downfalls of these cards:
  If payment is one day late, additional fees of up to
   $40
  Over-the-limit fee of $40
  Potential for the account to spiral out of control
Collection Agencies
Governed by the FTC
Operate within the Fair Debt Collection Practices
 Act, which protects consumers from illegal debt
 practices
Debt collectors, whether a company or an
 attorney’s office has to validate the debt
Collection agencies could add unauthorized fees to
 the original amount that was charged off

  • 9. 5 Ways to Establish Credit 1. Apply for a gasoline or department store charge. These are usually easier to obtain than other credit cards. 2. Apply for a secured credit card. You will be required to deposit a specified amount, usually $300 to $500 dollars into an account in their bank, and you will be issued a major credit card in the amount of the deposit. 3. Take out a small loan from your credit union or bank. Deposit the money into your savings account and pay the loan back monthly. 4. If you currently have credit, ask your creditors to increase your credit limit. This will improve your credit utilization ratio thereby improving your credit score. 5.
