Credit Tips For Saving Money - Part 2

24/05/2008

Improve your credit score. By improving your score you will save significantly on finance charges and interest rates. Avoid having any debt sent to a Bad Debt Recovery Company or a Nationwide Debt Collection Agency, these also have a negative impact on your score.

Your credit score is usually based on the answers to these questions:

Do you pay your bills on time? The answer to this question is very important. If you have paid bills late, have had an account referred to a nationwide debt collection agency, bad debt recovery firm or have ever declared bankruptcy, this history will show up in your credit report.

What is your outstanding debt? Many scoring models compare the amount of debt you have and your credit limits. If the amount you owe is close to your credit limit, it is likely to have a negative effect on your score.

How long is your credit history? A short credit history may have a negative effect on your score, but a short history can be offset by other factors, such as timely payments and low balances.

Have you applied for new credit recently? If you have applied for too many new accounts recently, that may negatively affect your score. However, if you request a copy of your own credit report, or if creditors are monitoring your account or looking at credit reports to make pre-screened credit offers, these inquiries about your credit history are not counted as applications for credit.

How many and what types of credit accounts do you have? Many credit-scoring models consider the number and type of credit accounts you have. A mix of installment loans and credit cards may improve your score. However, too many finance company accounts or credit cards might hurt your score.

Our Economy and Debt Collections

20/05/2008

As individuals’ debt grows in a tough economy, US debt collection agencies are experiencing a higher volume of assigned accounts. Does this mean there is a higher rate of return? No, not necessarily. To some, it may look like the industry is booming because of the high increase in bad debt. But…this type of economy also creates a more difficult environment for collecting that debt.

Collection agents need to be aware that this economy has affected people’s financial health and should try to help with a solution rather than adding to their distress. Many people in debt appreciate a firm, but helpful tone to a collection call, increasing the probability of successful collections. In these difficult times collection agents must keep in mind that when there isn’t enough money to pay everyone, the debtor will most likely pay the companies that are willing to work with them first.

Holidays and Debt Collections

2/05/2008

Believe it or not, the holiday season is one of the best times for a collection agency to collect bad debt. The only other time of the year that is better for debt collection is tax season. These are the months that many people receive money either as gifts or tax returns. December and January open up possibilities for a debtor to raise money from sympathetic family and friends. Many people having financial difficulties will receive monetary gifts to help them through the tough times. Debt collectors should be a little more sympathetic to people’s situations during this holiday time because there are also many that don’t have the availability of funds to make their payments.
