Does it make sense to pay $1200 to a credit repair agency for a credit score of 446?
I want to buy my home but my credit score is 446 so I have been referred to a credit repair agency for help. But because I have so many outstanding debts, some very old & some new, the estimated price for their service is $1200. Yes, I have tried this process on my own but it takes too long, Should I just go ahead & pay for their service so I can buy my home?
Instead of paying the credit repair company, go to the bank and get twelve $100 bills. Then flush those bills down the toilet. You will at least get to watch the bills swirl down the drain, which is a lot more than the credit repair company will do.
With a 446 score, there is absolutely no way you will be able to fix your credit in less than 3 or 4 years. Not only will you have to negotiate settlement of all the outstanding debts, but you will have to establish current good payment history.
Put your hopes of buying a home on the back burner. You need to first learn some better financial management skills.

How do I improve my credit score with the following secnario?
I have established credit however, currently the only items that are open on my credit are my mortgage, student loans, and a credit card with a SMALL limit! All other items are either paid off or charge offs. Other than paying my open stuff on time what can I do to improve my credit score?
Pay off your smallest balance charge offs first. Charge offs really hurt your credit, but when you pay them off they show up as a paid charge off, which helps your score a lot. And if you have a $100 dollar charge off it hurts your score almost as much as a $5000 so pay the little ones off first.
How do I fix my credit report? score?
Let me be honest: I don’t have a very good credit score. How do I fix this? Should I close some open accounts? Will this help?
And please don’t state the obvious …. thank you.
If your accounts are in good standing, do not close them. The largest component of a credit score is history. And even though those accounts will be on your reports for another 10 years after/if you close them, they will drop off and in 10 years, your credit history will severely shorten. Also, if you have some debt, like in credit cards, and you close accounts, your utilization ratio will increase, decreasing your score.
Paying on time with at least the minimum is mandatory. If you have debt, try to pay it down as quickly as possible. This is for unsecured, revolving debt like credit cards. Paying off installment loans like car and student loans more quickly than the maturity date won’t help, in fact, they’ll just fall off your reports more quickly (again the whole 10 years thing).
If you have been applying for credit frequently recently, stop. Hard inquiries ding your score. After one year, they won’t have an impact on your score and after two, they’ll drop off your reports.
If you have only one certain type of credit account; when it is suitable, apply for another type. Credit scores are also based on the type of credit accounts you have. If you have a credit card but not an installment loan like a car or student loan, apply for a personal loan and start paying it off. A lot of people have done this to establish a credit history; they don’t use the money from the loan but put it in savings to build a little interest and make monthly payments.
With all of this, time is what will help you the most. Just let your accounts age as long as possible.
FYI: Rent and utilities aren’t reported to credit bureaus unless they go delinquent.

How much does your credit score improve when a car repossession comes off?
my credit score was in the high 500′s a couple of months ago. last month a car repo was removed from my report, but i dont know the score. does anyone have an idea how much my score should have improved? im trying to buy a house and need a 620.
First of all get a copy of your report (which I presume you have done – that would be how you would know that the repo came off).
