If you are the kind of person who is leaning towards applying for his own credit card, then by now you should be aware that in order for your application to be approved without hassle, you should have a good credit report and score.

Thus, if you have a bad credit report, then you may want to consider having a credit repair; and you may look for companies that can help you with such. However, in approaching a credit repair company, you should choose one that has a good reputation. How would you know? Here are some things you may want to watch out for.

Slowly but Surely

There may be times when you would encounter a company which can give you all-too-good promises, saying that they can fix your credit in just a few days. They may sound good; but you should know that repairing a credit should not be a hasty work. It should be done slowly but surely. Legitimate companies may use up a whole month to clean your record because they need enough time to make changes in your credit report. They have to get in touch with your creditor and with the credit reporting agencies; and they too shall complete all the necessary papers to be done.

The New You

Scam artists may encourage you to apply for a new social security number so that your previous credit history will be wiped out. They may get you an Employee Identification Number which is used by businesses to give information regarding their finances. This number looks a lot like a social security number. However, you should know that it is illegal to use an EIN as you personal social security number; and you should avoid companies who claim that they can help you to erase your credit history for you.
