So your credit got burned. That’s bad, I know, but you’re not alone. I should say welcome to the club, actually, since more and more people seem to be suffering from bad credit ratings.

Don’t feel too bad if you have bad credit. Not only are you part of a crowd (so to speak), it is also within your means to improve your own credit score. Bad credit repair is definitely possible. People have done it. There are laws that ensure it (see the credit reporting act, formally known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act).

So, how do we recover from bad credit? The first step, of course, is to find the means to build up your credit. After the tempest has passed, find a bank and start saving money in a savings or checking account. Start small, but make regular deposits.

Then, apply for one of the so-called recovery card (credit cards with very low limits), or better yet, a secured credit card (credit cards where you required to make an initial deposit as security). Just remember, do not apply for more than one card. Apply for one where you have the greatest chance of getting approved. Do not take out more than one card, too. If you want to reestablish your credit, you need to moderate your spending; having multiple cards won’t help.

Of course you have to pay all your bills on time. You also need to check your credit report regularly to check for credit report errors. The sooner you can catch reporting errors, the sooner you can get them resolved.
