Posts Tagged ‘how-to’

Yeah, these myths have been spread very fast, and there are some trues you really need to know, one of the best examples is that you need a professional agency to do it for you, even though they can help you do it, you can do it for yourself. I did it so can you!, our next step will be to revel the truth from some of the most common myths about credit repair and debt consolidation issues.

Myth 1: I can’t do it by myself, professional’s needs to handle this situation.

We need help once in a while and why not, but credit repair and debt consolidation is not one of those areas, it is an area where you can do it by yourself. Back in the days when I saw my credit report for first time I saw some “bad marks” on it (you know some late payments and stuff) I start freaking out and I remember thinking “there is no way I can do this by myself I will need some professional help” nevertheless I did it myself, how? easy I got educated that is the key. And now you are going to get the best education possible on this subject, about how to consolidate your debt, repair your credit, maintain your credit score etc… While I was studying my credit report I realized some big mistakes by either the creditor, the credit bureau and even both!!. This were not mine at all. I found several mistakes in multiple accounts and by doing some research it turns out that anywhere from 75% to 90% of the credit reports contain errors.

Myth 2: You Cannot Fix your Bad Credit.

Wrong. Just because you have bad credit doesn’t mean that you can’t repair it. It may take longer to fix, but it is repairable. There are many fast ways to restore your credit, build positive lines of credit, and get yourself back on the right track to good credit. If you think a 520 is bad-it is. I was turned down by every credit card I applied for. I even got denied at Banana Republic in front of 20 people at Christmas time. Yeah, no fun at all. If I can do it, then so can you. It’s a matter of becoming educated and these videos will show you how to get your credit back.

Myth 3: One Credit Score is all you have.

The reality is that you have 3 credit scores; they are from the major credit reporting agencies, all 3 show different scores, so when applying for credit one company may use a different report than others, it is always good to check your credit score through the 3 bureaus, because scores can vary a lot among them.

Well, when you do find it is time to start some work on your house, such as painting, this can be a stressful time and a disruptive time in their lives.

So with that being the situation, I would like to give you some solid advice on how to choose the right painting company.  This advice comes from years working with homeowners and also running a San Diego painting company myself.

Now at first, picking the right painting contractor doesn’t see like it should be difficult.But if you think about the fact that this work can cost thousands of dollars if not more, and also cause a major disruption in your daily life, and of course can either result in a beautiful job or a horrendous job.This is a very big decision.

So here are some tips from my experience as a painter San Diego.

First off you are going to want to get quotes from several contractors.You aren’t just trying for the best price.  You are doing this so you can talk with and get to know the company you are going to be working with.Of course when you do get a great price, that’s great, but don’t let that be your driving force.Remember, you want a great job to be done.

Second, you want to know if they have any guarantees to their work.See if they have a solid guarantee regarding your satisfaction.This shows you how confident they are in the work they can do for you.

Thirdly, you will want to know when and how soon can they start.  Also, you will want to get a feel on how quickly they feel they can get it done.  When you are going to cause a disruption like painting your house.  You will want to know
how quickly they will get your life back to normal.

Finally, get references of previous customers.  Contact them and see what they felt of the company.See how well they did the job, if they did it on time, and if they are a good company to work with.
