There are many ways to repair your credit, but the most important thing is that once your credit is repaired, you are able to keep it repaired! You can try and repair your credit yourself by going through all your credit reports and trying to fix anything that needs fixing, but credit repair companies can generally do a better job with finding questionable items on credit reports, and negotiate better deals and interest rates.
Since it is so important to maintain a repaired credit once your credit is fixed, having your interest rate negotiated down to make your payments easily affordable each month is a must for maintaining good credit. If you cannot pay your required payments on time each month, it will damage your credit, and your credit will be in need of repair once again, which will turn into a vicious cycle of constantly needing repairing.
You do not need to carry a balance (pay interest) to keep your credit improved. In fact, credit card companies feel more comfortable about loaning you larger amounts of money if you can pay your balance off in full every month. Being able to pay your payments in full every month shows you are responsible and therefore, much more likely to pay off larger amounts, even with interest. In comparison to someone who can barely pay the minimum payment, or is getting choked with interest from a smaller loan, you will be looking pretty good financially.
Although credit repair companies charge a fee for their services, you will most likely save much more money using them than the amount it would cost to pay them. These companies generally charge about two dollars a day, although it can be more depending on extra services offered. For example, a couple's credit repair versus an individual credit repair will generally be more since with a couple's credit repair there would be a lot more credit reports to go through.
