bk bailouts are not that hard but it is a bit higher rate. as loang as you fall into the guidelines there are many options for you for this

It’s time to clean up your credit report, but first you have to get a copy of it. You can get a copy if you were denied credit by a company that you applied to. You can also request free copies of your credit report once a year, and the easiest way to do that is with that great little invention called the internet. In less than 5 minutes you will have that report right in front of you to review.

Print it out and let’s begin.

Go to: www.equifax.com

www.experian.com

www.transunion.com

Start by circling whatever you feel is in error or inaccurate. Info that is inaccurate can be disputed with the creditor or the credit reporting agency. Dispute with the agency based on whatever report contained the error. Once the dispute is filed, the agency will begin the investigation by contacting your creditor. The whole process takes about 30 days, and if the error you disputed is in fact an error, your credit report will be updated. If you have the same errors on all three reports, you will have to contact each agency separately. There is no charge for disputing errors. Also if there is really old info on the report, try to get that removed.

Some people may have gone thru some hard times and were late on payments to a certain creditor. They might have lost their job or had medical problems. In this case they could add a personal statement to each of their reports. The personal statement should be 100 words or less telling why they were late and for what reason. Anyone who pulls the report will also see this statement of explanation.

If some payments to creditors have been consistently late, call those creditors, maybe another payment plan can be implemented that will allow you to be on time with your payments. Also most people don’t know that if they fail to pay a doctor or medical bill, or some utility, cable or phone service bill and it ends up in a collection agencie’s lap, they can also report to the credit bureau. So keep an eye out for these on your report and negotiate with them as well.

Many creditors are understanding of financial difficulties and are willing to help. In negotiations you could ask for a payment plan with no extra interest or a lower rate of interest. You could ask for late fees to be waived, you could ask for a loan extension, or maybe even a lower balance due on the loan. If something is agreed upon, get it in writing and ask them how this will effect your credit report in the future.

These steps will slowly but surely remedy the situation and build you a better credit report. If you’re looking to buy a house in the future, get copies of your report now, and start clearing them up, This could essentially help later on with the mortgage process and getting a good interest rate on other credit as well.

While clearing up these reports and negotiating with creditors you will learn from any past credit mistakes and avoid problems in the future. Get those free reports annually and keep tabs on them.

The 2nd lien holder must be fast to foreclose. If he waits too long, his 2nd will be wiped out by a foreclosure on the 1st loan. The 2nd loan is in default when the payment is 1 day late. The foreclosure letter could be sent out on that date; altho most lenders wait for a month or two. The homeowner would have 90 days to make up the back payments. Then the foreclosure would be stopped..

Wondering what anyone knows of this program, how easy/difficult is it to qualify, opinions of it, etc..

Would like to know other than Credit Score what do/will they consider.

My DH is a law enforcement officer and we have a lease option on a home - due to various issues (medical - loss of overtime - and others) we haven't been able to pay off as many things this year as we had planned. We have never bounced a rent or deposit check to the owners/sellers, but they would like us to try to close/purchase the home in August & honestly so would we but there is a clause in our contract that they can extend it for 6 more months (so Feb 09). I was told about this program but when I called to get info they wanted to run our credit first and we don't want that quite yet.

Also does anyone understand the new FICO (Credit Scoring) I am a bit confused on it.

Thanks
I do understand that FICO is a catchall term for the system - I was wondering if someone could explain the new scoring system to me. Supposedly it is to be more streamlined and "fair"/"equal"

I did see an article on CNN a month or so ago where all 3 credit bureaus are looking at re-vamping how credit scores are calculated and for MOST people, it will be a score increase, but for some, it won't.

Not every company uses the FICO scoring system, Beacon and Empirca are two other methods of credit score calculation. All FICO stands for is "Fair Issac and Company" which was the first to come up with the score, so people started calling all credit scores a "FICO" score.

Creating multiple income streams from your website is a proven marketing strategy. An effective strategy anyone can use to earn a part-time or full-time online income. If you are not currently earning revenue from your site, you could be leaving significant amounts of cash floating in cyberspace.

Significant amounts of cash that can help pay your monthly bills: your rent or mortgage, your car payments, your utility bills or even your hosting costs. Many alert webmasters are doing just that by creating multiple income streams from their site or sites.

Creating these multiple income streams is not a difficult task. Nor is it a lengthy or time consuming one; monetizing your site can be done within a few hours of work.

Here are some effective ways of creating multiple income streams:

* 1. Affiliate Programs

Joining affiliate programs related to your site is an easy process. Placing html code or java script on your site with your affiliate IDs embedded only takes seconds. I find joining major affiliate networks like Commission Junction, LinkShare, Amazon, ClickBank, Shareasale… to be the most effective. You can quickly find and join affiliate programs related to your site’s topics.

Affiliate programs are excellent income producers, all you have to do is supply the traffic or leads and the affiliate company does the selling, shipping and handles all customer interactions. These programs pay on time each month and there are no disputes about commissions. Amazon pays quarterly!

* 2. Google Adsense

Perhaps one of the easiest way to monetize your site is through Google Adsense. All you have to do is add a snippet of code to your site and Google serves up ads to match your site’s content. Getting those checks from Google each month will put a smile on your face. Guaranteed!

* 3. Sponsored Links

Another simple way to earn revenue from your site is offering sponsored links. Selling links to other sites who want to be listed on your site. Set up a PayPal subscription service, and if your site has a high PR page rank you will have plenty of webmasters more than willing to pay you each month.

* 4. Banner Advertising

A simple, direct way to earn revenue from your site is to host and sell banner advertising on your site. Bit traditional but still a money producer for high traffic volume sites.

* 5. List Building

Building an opt-in list of contacts interested in the topic of your site can be one of your most effective income producers. Many webmasters and marketers use followup e-mails to keep in contact with their site’s visitors. This does require some work and set-up time, but once you have your autoresponders in place, you can forget about them.

In addition, marketing special deals, joint ventures and offers to your permission based email contact list can be another lucrative income stream for you. That’s just five ways to create multiple income streams from your site. There are many, many more but these are good starting points for any webmaster who wants to monetize their site or sites.

* Additional Marketing Tip

Here’s my #1 marketing strategy on how to increase your number of income streams:

I use the Long Tail keyword marketing model to create high ranked keyword listings in organic search for profitable keyword phrases on the topics of my sites. First, I use a keyword research tool like Brad Callen’s Keyword Elite or an online site Yahoo’s Overture to find profitable keyword phrases for my sites.

These tools will tell you how many searches are made each month for a given keyword phrase and also tell you how much marketers are willing to pay for each click to this keyword phrase - as in PPC or Pay Per Click advertising.

The trick is to find low to mid-range keywords or keywords phrases that are profitable but have little competition. Then design a content page on your site to target these keyword phrases and draw in traffic. I use keyword targeted articles which I place on my site and also submit to online article directories like Ezinearticles, Goarticles, Articlealley, among others.

In the resource box at the end of each article, I place my keyword anchor text and links back to my site. As these are competitively low ranked keywords, my content pages usually land on the top positions in the search engines for my targeted keywords within a week or so.

This is a simple effective marketing strategy that feeds targeted traffic into my sites, making them more profitable with each keyword phrase I develop content for on my sites. It is an online marketing strategy that you can also use to booster your multiple income streams from your own website.

Granted, all the above information comes with a disclaimer, the amount of income will usually correlate to how effective you are at marketing your site and how much traffic you can generate. Your different abilities will play a large role in how much you will earn. However, there is no reason why any healthy site getting a decent amount of traffic can’t be used to create multiple streams of income. Just cash in!
