It all happens when I received an email from a friend about RMCN credit service that she engaged months ago.

July 30, 2009

First of all let me say that I am ECSTATIC about my credit repair progress. Vicky has been great ALL THE WAY, extremely efficient in all her efforts. I starting working with RMCN around May 11th, 2009 and just received my second credit score update today, overall between all 3 credit bureaus I have increased my score 86 points………………………………………………………………..

All the while I have been very conscious with my spending especially credit card, so I do not have much problem with my credit card payment nor it affect my credit rating.  But after received the above email, I understand that a lot of people are in debts with credit because it is the most convenient way to spend money that you do not own, just a swipe with a signature and you are done, the problem will come at the end of the months when the payment due.

If you are having problem with your credit card payment and that’s affecting your credit score, you might want to have a look at various option that may help you to get back your good credit scoring so that you will not be penalized with higher interest rate in the future.  You may get more information at www.repairmycreditnow.com on how to get back your credit scoring.

Credit rating is very important as it determines how healthy our financial record is. Having a good rating will provide us channel to faster loan approval, higher loan amount and lower loan interest rate.

On the other hand, if you do not have a good credit rating, you will suffer from getting lower loan amount and paying higher interest rate.

So if you decided to go for debts consolidation exercise, how it will affect your future credit rating is very important.

If you are just consolidate all your loan into a single loan account for easy management or longer payment tenure, it will not affect your credit rating as you still settle the full amount of your outstanding loan.

If negotiating to reduce your debt is part of your debts consolidation plan, you may be penalized with a lower credit rating as you are not able to payback your debts fully. The financial institution force to accept your plan to recover part of the loan amount in return you will have to accept a bad credit score in your record.

However, the damage is not as severe as bankruptcy. As long as you can maintain a good payment record in 3 to 5 years, you will be able to regain your good credit rating status in the future.
