Once the debt consolidation package has been made, it is time for you to come up with the money and that usually means cutting down your expenses for the moment.

If what you are saving is not enough, you may need to make some hard choices like selling off certain valuables especially when no one will lend you the money except perhaps if you have friends that are very understanding.

When you have finished paying off your debt that could take months or even years, make sure you get a settlement letter from them and send a copy of this to the credit bureaus so this can be updated on your credit report.

There are lessons to be learned once you have successfully undergone credit repair.

First, keep an eye on your expenses. If the credit given to you is quite big, don’t be tempted to max it because you will mostly have a hard time paying for it.

Second, while most creditors will allow you to pay a minimum, whatever is left grows because of interests so you are not doing yourself any favors by not paying this amount in full.

Third, if this is something you can’t do alone, don’t be ashamed to ask for help because there are counselors ready to help you out.

Fourth, pay all your bills on time and in full.

Credit repair could have been avoided if you played it smart. Now that you are here, you have to do what is needed so it can be corrected.

When do you need credit repair? The moment your credit score is anything less than 600 points because this could make it difficult for you to apply for a loan.

Credit repair may not be as bad as you think if there happens to be a mistake on your credit report. You can check on that by getting a copy for free from one of the three credit agencies namely Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. You may request a copy simultaneously or get one at different times of the year.

Once you have it, review if there are any errors on the document. There are instances that one report will say something different.

If you know for a fact that a certain issue has already been resolved, send a request to have this changed together with a letter and the documents that prove this should be removed from your record.

But what if the credit report is real? Well, the only thing you have to do to repair your credit score is to pay it off. If you are having a hard time due to the big amount, get help from a credit counselor who can act as a negotiator and help create a debt consolidation package.

The debt consolidation package must be placed in writing as it signifies an agreement between you and the creditors. . This document will save your life should there be any problems in the future like if the creditors decide to void the agreement.

Ask for referrals.

The best way to look for people who you can trust is to ask people you trust to refer people whom they trust. That way, you can be sure that who you are hiring has already been in a way tried and tested by people whose judgment you respect.

A good person to talk to for this is perhaps your parents or in laws who have probably hired people years ago to manage their retirement funds. You can also ask people whose portfolio you admire. Even your boss in the office can be a good source of information.

Diversify

Another way to make sure that your money is well-taken cared of is to spread the money to a couple of asset management people. Do not put all your financial eggs in one basket. This way, you can be sure that if one will have a problem, the other will still be there as an insurance.

Research

But don’t rely on referrals and opinions of people. Even the best judge of characters will also make mistakes. Before hiring the person, look him over and do some background check on him. Research on his employment history and if possible talk to his previous employers and also present ones. Invite him for dinner or set up a meeting with him. That way, you can talk to him or her. Here you will be able to see if you instinctively like the person. Sometimes the gut feel is also important.

In order to have a secure future, you need to manage your money right and make sure that the money will earn by itself.

Only a few know how to save their hard earned money and but even they don’t know how to make their money grow.

Asset management is something that is often done by people who are already experts in money trade. They are the ones who know when to invest and where to invest so that your money will last for a long time. There are companies that specifically provide these kinds of services to people especially to large corporations who seek to grow their money. Asset management companies often deal with individuals who have amassed a lot of money but don’t know what to do with it. For a professional fee or sometimes for a percentage of commission, they will invest your money in real estate, in stocks and in bonds.

Most people, however, are not comfortable with the idea of other people handling their finances. In fact, some will not even let others know that they have amassed such a fortune. But keeping the money in banks will not make it grow. It will only stay stagnant and rendered valueless in time because of rising inflation rates. When you really concentrate on the task, you can find someone who can manage your assets honestly. Here are some tips on how to find that person.
