Here are some credit tips if you are dealing with poor credit:
- Continue making payments: Do your best to make more than the minimum payment on your credit cards and don’t use them. The lower the balances, the better your credit. If you can’t make more, at least make the minimum. Stopping payments will further hurt your credit.
- Ask for help: Feel like there isn’t any hope? Seek professional counseling with a consumer credit counselor. Make sure you check their reputation before signing on.
- Dispute all credit report errors: Don’t let them just sit, they can cause your credit score to drop and affect you in the long run.
You can make your credit work for you and get back to where you need to. Go for it and be patient.
