Credit repair can only be achieved through financial discipline and hard work. Any easy way out of a poor credit history is undoubtedly tempting, but it may lead to further financial difficulties in the future. If a poor credit history is due to circumstances beyond%26lt;!--consumer%26#039;s control, and they are able to somewhat make amends to their credit records after that time, then a creditor can be requested to upgrade credit rating because of a sense of customer loyalty.

Most creditors don%26#039;t trust the customers defaulting on their debts, so it may be very difficult to obtain new credit. But once a person is able to demonstrate continuing income stability and prompt--%26gt;payment patterns, his situation can improve in a period of two to three years. This way, even in the case of bankruptcy, a consumer is likely to be offered charge and credit cards within a year or two if maintaining a steady income.

If you%26#039;re saving for a home purchase, you need to be very conservative with your investment - perhaps a money market fund or CDs if good rates are available.

Put the money into something like money market or certificates of deposit. Otherwise your gambling with the money your trying to save for the down payment. If you had any profits from the first sale you have to buy the new house in a specific timeframe or you pay higher taxes on it. Ask a tax preparer about that. Repair credit by being on time with payments. If you have credit cards, pay most off but do not close them. That gives you a good debt to available credit ratio.. which will count on your credit score. Good luck.
