ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This software was developed by a former loan officer. It reflects years of experience in dealing with credit bureaus and the hidden loop-holes in the credit reporting system. These loop-holes were created when congress enacted ~The Fair Credit Reporting Act~. In response to angry taxpayers (and voters) complaints about inaccurate credit reporting practices by almost all credit reporting agencies, Congress created a series of hard line credit reform bills. As with most bills designed by Congress, it is full of inconsistencies and loop-holes. It didn't take credit attorneys long to figure out how to use (and abuse) these laws to make it possible for any negative remark on a credit report to be removed permanently. These same powerful techniques, and the required forms, are available in this software package. Also contained in this package is a step-by-step plan to rebuild or establish your credit. PERSONAL INFORMATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PERSONAL INFORMATION choice, on the main menu, is where you will go to enter the information that is required about you. This information will be used to order your credit report (You must know what your credit report says about you, if you intend to repair it). This information will also be used to Apply for a Secured MasterCard or Visa if you wish. And finally, it will be used to generate the appropriate forms to have any negative information removed off your credit report. CREDIT BUREAU INFORMATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The CREDIT BUREAU INFORMATION choice, on the main menu, is where you will go to enter in the mailing address for the Credit Bureaus. It comes with the most common Credit Bureaus already entered. You may want to add smaller Credit Bureaus, if you know that one of your current or future creditors uses a specific lesser known credit agency. ORDER YOUR CREDIT REPORT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The ORDER YOUR CREDIT REPORT choice, on the main menu, is where you will go to order your credit report. If you have been turned down for credit within the past 30 days, due to information supplied by a specific credit agency, then your report will be free. Otherwise there will be a small charge involved, usually around $15. SCORING YOUR CREDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The SCORING YOUR CREDIT choice on the main menu, will allow you to analyze your credit eligibility. This will let you know where you are lacking and give you tips on how to improve your credit appearance. APPLY FOR A SECURED CARD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The APPLY FOR A SECURED CARD choice on the main menu, will allow you to contact one or more banks that offer secured MasterCards and Visa Cards. A secured card is a credit card that does not rely on your credit. Instead, you will make a deposit into the issuing company's bank (between $500 and $1,000), and you will be allowed to use your credit card as long as you maintain the savings account. (which will also draw interest). Generally after a year, the bank will give your savings account back to you, and can still keep your card. The main advantage of this system, is that the bank will report to the credit bureau. So if you keep your payments up-to-date, it will improve your credit rating. Also, many department stores offer automatic approval if you have a major credit card in good standing. Just watch for the department stores that advertise this policy, and then apply for the department store's credit card. Most department stores also report to the credit agencies, so this is another chance to improve your credit report. REPAIR YOUR CREDIT REPORT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The REPAIR YOUR CREDIT REPORT choice on the main menu, is one of the most powerful sections of this software system. You can simply enter in negative remarks contained on your credit report, and the type of remark (foreclosure, bankruptcy, judgment, late payment, etc.) and the computer will generate and fill in the correct forms for you to send to have this information removed. This section is available only to registered users. To become a registered user, send $39.00 to: North Atlantic Publishing P.O.
