There is something both the indulgent spenders and those caught up in dire need can both share: the need for credit repair. No one wants to sweep everyone under the rug, of dismissing them as people who can't plan a budget and stick to it. But the truth is both those who spend indulgently, more so than they can afford, and those with medical bills and family emergencies, both may end up with a bad credit rating. No one wants that.
The immediate thought of some is to look for credit repair solutions provided by some companies, most of which are probably scams. Anyone can improve his or her credit report, in the legal and legitimate way. But what most people want is some here and now instant solution. Naturally, some companies will jump on that need. Hence the proliferation of scam companies. But you can repair your credit standing yourself. Here are four ways to do just that, yourself. No a dime spent or scam involved.
Have someone add you as an authorized user on their credit card. A good and certain way to improve remarkably your credit status is to have your relatives, one or two of them, to add your name as on of the authorized users of the credit cards they actively use. Getting them to do may not be easy if you're known to them as someone irresponsible, so you'd have to promise them you're straightening out your life.
The benefit getting your name added to their card's allowed-to-use list is that this comes off as a positive mark on your credit report. The usual reason is that someone trusts you to not abuse their credit card. Just be sure that the relative you ask to have you added also has a commendable credit history. Otherwise, it's a little pointless to be added to their list. That would negatively affect your credit status, instead of helping.
