Since the employment market isn't exactly booming, prices are always rising, and wages aren't going as far as they once did, many South Africans are now turning to credit to make ends meet.
Let's be honest about credit ratings now. They are somewhat significant, am I right? They are the secret ingredient that can make or ruin your aspirations of the ideal house or gleaming new vehicle. Heck, before they even consider hiring you, some jobs even check your credit score!
But now for the tough part: What happens if that credit score plummets? When does it drop that low that you are unable to rent an apartment or even a car? It's hardly surprising that many people are searching frantically for credit repair services in the hopes of finding a quick fix.
But to be completely honest, it's not that easy. Your credit report needs to be fixed, and the procedure takes time. It requires time. It may seem endless. But in the end, it will be worthwhile.
Here are the factors that affect your credit score:
· Your payment history (this is a biggest, around 35% of your score)The number of inquiries into your credit (roughly 10%)
· The amount of debt you have(around 30%)
· How long you’ve had credit(around 15% of your score)
· Types of credit you currently have(around 10%)
How long does it take for a late payment to be removed from your credit report?
Consider your credit report to be a diary that records every detail about all of your accounts, including juicy information like when you missed payments. The catch is that these financial blips are preserved for a full two years in this notebook.
But the good news is here. Old habits disappear with the passage of time while new ones become ingrained. So, if you're in a bind due to some late payments, you have a fantastic opportunity to start over. Start paying your payments on time, remain steadfast for two years, and there you go!
Your credit report will say good-bye to negative information and hello to financial stability. It's like a new beginning!
Which Additional Elements Stay on Your Credit Report and How Long?
Those infamous hard inquiries might drag on for up to a year. It's comparable to the final party visitor who simply ignores the invitation to go.
Restructuring your debt is like having a frequent visitor. It remains until a clearance certificate is waved in front of it like a magic wand. Poof, there it is no more.
Court rulings are the genuine article. They can last for up to 5 years, depending on what they're about. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that you should avoid these at all costs!
You can better control your credit report if you are aware of what stays on it. After all, knowledge truly is power.
