You will likely see some very bad information about your past due accounts. The fact is though, that you have probably done the maximum amount of damage already. You may try to contact their credit departments and see if they would be willing to alter/adjust the bad info on your credit file in exchange for an updated payment schedule. Get other inputs, but it's possible that you could pay all the debt in full tomorrow, and still see no improvement in your credit score. This is a very important issue for you, pls don't only take the advice of people on this site, ask professionals, email Suze Orman, make certain that you're following a good plan.

You can dispute the information if you feel that it is incorrect. You can also contact your debtors and try to reduce the amount that you pay them. A lot of times they are willing to take half so that they at least get something. Do not mention to them that you have saved up money to pay them off, they WILL try to take advantage of that information. Just tell them that you are trying to pay back your debt and want to know if they are willing to work with you on payments and amount owed. Sob stories help, but don't get too carried away.

It will list all the companies you have had credit with and tells how much you owe each one. Contact your creditors and tell them you would like to start making payments, and then do it! Sending a little is better than sending nothing. Try to negotiate a lower interest rate. If you have a job, you might be able to get a debt consolidation loan from your bank or credit union. Once you are debt free remember to never charge more in one month then you can pay in one month. Get a credit report.

Gather all your bills and financial information and make a list of exactly what you owe and to whom. Then figure out how much money you're making every month and how much you're spending. Cut your expenses so you have some money left over. Put that left over money towards your smallest debt every month until it's paid off. Then take all the money you were paying towards that card and pay off the second, third, and so on. When you have no more debt, put all that money into savings. When you have 3-6 months of expenses in savings, invest your money with a stock broker. Step one is to get serious.
