Who can I talk to about credit repair? I have a 675 score but am being denied for credit.?

Question

I own 2 rentals and 1 house. Income is commision about $60,000. I also have about 6 small credit cards totalling about $6000. I want to transfer balances but have been denied. Should I cancel all the cards to elimate the amount of revolving credit? Also, are the rental houses hurting me? Should I get an LLC? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

PIGGYBACKING: Despite its' virtually
unlimited potential, piggybacking is
not used by nearly as many consumers as
it should be. It's easy, effective,
and extremely fast. Unfortunately,
it's mostly used among parents and
siblings while those who can really
benefit stay in the dark.

How it works. Almost every credit
card or credit account will allow the
primary account holder to add on (at a
later date) what's known as an
"Authorized User" or "Secondary Account
Holder". In most cases, when this is
done, the entire account history
(retroactively) gets posted to the
authorized users credit report
regardless of their current age or
credit history!

For example. If it's a credit card
with a $10,000 limit which has been
paid as agreed for the last 10 years,
then that complete history will be
posted to the authorized users' credit
report. I once saw a clients' credit
report who used this technique with his
mother. He was only 24 at the time and
he had a $15,000 Gold credit card on
his report with history going back 11
years! I laughed as I thought to
myself that this kid would have had to
be approved when he was 13 years old
for this account to be his!

As you can see, this strategy is
usually only used by parents and their
children and in most cases with no
regard to the benefits the children are
reaping credit wise! In fact, in
recent years, due to its'
effectiveness, this technique has led
individuals with excellent credit
scores to "rent out" authorized user
accounts on one or even multiple credit
cards in return for a fee! I once
recall seeing an ad in USA TODAY for
just such an opportunity. Like most
good credit loopholes, I'm sure this
methods' days are numbered much like
what may be the case with...

Answer 2

Try paying off those credit cards with the income from the rentals. I was told that the more credit cards you have the worse it is. It's better to have one or two maximum and have small balances on them. I would not transfer balances because that usually creates more fees. I would consult with an accountant about the LLC. My dad has a few small businesses and has good credit, but I don't think that helped his credit score.

Answer 3

Get a LLC where you are the primary (sole) shareholder and transfer title of the rental properties to the LLC. Do NOT issue shares of the LLC to anyone BUT YOU.

You then create a board of your closest QUALIFIED friends/business associates.

The board can then decide to hire you as an independent contractor making say, $4,000 a month check (which can be deducted as business expenses from the corp).

You have to get the articles of incorporation for the LLC and get them notarized and blessed.

Transferring the property to the LLC may be hard to sell to the bank!!

Answer 4

If you have equity in you homes or rentals then try for a equity loan. Don't cancel the cards--that will hurt your credit rating. Make sure you pay on time every month but pay more than the monthly minimum. Also, don't apply for two many cards at once as that too can hurt your rating. If you pay on time and more than the monthly minimum you will receive credit card offers.

Answer 5

There are some helpful sites out there with good reading, like www.shoplands.com/creditrepair. For starters, DON'T close any cards out until they are paid off and clear. Also make sure to keep the oldest of them if possible, it gives your credit report more "age". Credit scoring rates people with balances around 20-30 percent of their limit the best, from what I can gather. Good luck to you!

Answer 6

Being denied of the mastercard application won't harm your credit. yet think of approximately why you have been denied. the clarification is that your credit did no longer meet the credit business enterprise's customary for issuing mastercard. attempt to word on the financial business enterprise you have been banking for some years. in case you have good checklist of on no account bouncing assessments or non-adequate-fund situation, your financial business enterprise in all probability situation you the cardboard. additionally they seem at your checking account average stability and whether or no longer you have a discount expenditures or CD's with the financial business enterprise. So, that is not any longer purely your credit they evaluate to evaluate the credit worthiness of a potential card holder. good luck!
