Good Credit Health: Part One
Eliminate harmful data errors from your credit
fileYour
credit score is calculated from the numerical data in your
credit report. Over time, its likely these data can become
outdated, inaccurate or even corrupted. If so, your credit
file is considered unhealthy. When inaccurate, or sickly
data are used to calculate your credit score - it too
becomes sick and inaccurately lower than it really should
be. The first step toward good credit health is to
eliminate all data errors and ensure your credit score is
being calculated using accurate, healthy information. ACC
finds these errors automatically, and prepares the correct
documents to get them corrected. All you do is print and
mail.
A few examples of
actual data errors ACC detected: |
| |
Misreported Credit
Balance
18 point increase |
A
credit card reporting to all three credit repositories
(Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) had an actual
credit limit of $5,000, and a current balance of
$1,440. One of the repositories incorrectly reported
the credit limit as $84. The credit score was lowered
because it assumed this borrower was significantly
over the credit limit. Correcting this error increased
the credit score by 18 points. |
|
| |
Incorrect Account
Status
32 point increase |
A
consumer's mortgage loan was purchased by a new
lender. The accurate credit file would show the
original mortgage with a $0.00 balance and a status
reflecting that the loan was transferred. The new loan
would also appear on the credit report. However, two
of the repositories continued to report the original
mortgage with its full, original balance owed, while
also reporting the new mortgage loan. The credit score
was calculated based on the borrower having two recent
mortgages rather than one. Correcting this error
increased the credit score by 32 points. |
|
| |
Invalid Collection
Account
122 point increase |
ACC
detected a collection account that wrongly appeared in
a consumers credit file. After following ACC's
instructions the account was permanently removed from
the file. The result? The affected bureaus credit
score increased 122 points which qualified the
applicant for the best loan rates possible. |

Good Credit Health: Part Two
Using credit cards correctly can raise your credit
scoreThe great majority of consumers
use credit cards in ways that harm their credit scores.
Even if you have made your payments on time, odds are your
credit score is lower than it should be simply because you
haven't been shown how to use your credit cards correctly.
Do you have too many credit cards or not enough? Are you
using your credit cards too much, or not enough? Are your
credit balances too high, or too low? ACC performs a
detailed review of your current credit use - and gives you
a personalized plan to optimize your credit use so that
you get the highest credit score you deserve.
A few examples of actual
credit usage errors ACC detected: |
| |
Lowered Credit Card
Balance
78 point increase |
ACC
detected that the consumer used one credit card too
much. After paying the balance down to the designated
amount, the credit score increased by 78 points. |
|
| |
Transferred Money to
Another Card
63 point increase |
ACC
identified a common usage error in which one credit
card is heavily used, while others were used very
little. ACC suggested transferring a specific amount
from one credit card to the other. This action
required no out of pocket cash and increased this
consumers credit score by 63 points. |
|
| |
Opened A $300 Limit
Credit Card
51 point increase |
ACC
identified that a consumer's credit score was being
harmed because he did not have enough credit card
accounts. ACC suggested the consumer open one new
credit card with a $300 limit. After opening this
single credit card, the consumers credit score
increased 51 points. |
