HOW YOUR CREDIT
SCORE IS CALCULATED
Did you know that many Americans are
unaware of how their credit scores are
calculated? This lack of knowledge is a
significant reason why people struggle with
poor credit. Understanding the five factors
that make up your credit score is essential
for taking control of your financial health. In
this section, we'll break down each factor
and provide actionable tips to help you
improve your credit score and achieve
financial success. Let's dive in!
Page 1
HOW YOUR CREDIT
SCORE IS CALCULATED
A. Payment History 35% (297.5 points)
Set up autopay to avoid missing payments.
Challenge all late payments or delete the entire
account & replace the age
B. Utilization 30% (255 points)
Pay all credit cards under 30% to stop your
score from going down
C. Credit Mix 10% (85 points)
Lenders want to see diversity. Installment loans
and revolving credit
D. Credit History 15% (127.5 points)
Having or adding older accounts with age is
key to building and maintaining a high credit
score
E. New Credit 10% (85 points)
This is where hard injuries are factored in.
Remove hard inquiries that are not attached to
an open account on your credit report

REPAIRING YOUR CREDIT
THE BAD
Many consumers have inaccurate or negative
information on their credit reports. Negative
accounts can lead to instant credit denials
and damage your credit reputation.
This lowers confidence and can cripple your
financial growth if you do not address the
negative
THE GOOD
Any negative account can be removed from
your credit report when disputed correctly. This
is why it’s important to understand your right
as a consumer so that you can begin taking
your power back and rebuilding your credit
reputation.
Remember that payment history is the most
important factor of your credit report. So
anything that reflects a negative payment
history must be corrected in order to maximize
your credit scores
Page 3
NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS
Here is a list of 10 negative accounts that
can be disputed and removed from a
person's credit report using consumer laws:
1. Late Payments: Dispute inaccuracies in
reported late payments, especially if they
are incorrect or misreported.
2. Charge-Offs: If a debt has been charged
off but is still showing as unpaid, you can
dispute this with supporting documentation.
3. Collections: Challenge any collections
accounts that are incorrect or have
incomplete information.
4. Bankruptcies: Ensure that discharged
bankruptcies are accurately reflected on
your report.
5. Foreclosures: Dispute any errors or
inaccuracies in reported foreclosures.

NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS
6. Repossessions: If a repossession is
inaccurately reported or contains errors, it
can be disputed.
7. Tax Liens: Dispute tax liens that have
been paid off but still appear on your report.
8. Judgments: Challenge judgments that
have been satisfied or are incorrect.
9. Student Loans: Dispute any inaccuracies
related to student loans, such as incorrect
balances or reporting errors.
10. Hard Inquiries: Challenge unauthorized
or inaccurate hard inquiries that may be
negatively affecting your credit score.

NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS
On the next page you will see an example
of what a negative account looks like on a
Credit Report.
In this example we are using Identity IQ
which is a Credit Monitoring Software that
allows you to view all 3 Credit Reports at
one time.
When trying to determine if an account is
negative or positive, you will want to review
the following:
Account Status: In this example the
account is listed as a Derogatory Account
Past Due: If it is a negative account, the
past due amount will NOT be $0.00
(continue to the next page)
Page 6
NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS
Payment Status: This account is listed as a
Collection/Charge off
Comments: Charged off as bad debt.
Cancelled by credit grantor
Two Year Payment History: Finally, at the
bottom of the screen it shows CO listed
under each payment month. CO =
Charged Off

POSITIVE ACCOUNTS
Maintaining positive accounts is essential
to building a high credit score. Many
people make the mistake of disputing
positive accounts when attempting to
repair their credit.
Here is a list of positive accounts that you
should not delete from your credit report.
A Positive account is when there is no
negative remarks or history.
Positive student Loans: Dispute any
inaccuracies related to student loans,
such as incorrect balances or
reporting errors.
Open accounts with no late payments
Closed or paid off accounts with no
negative remarks. For Example (Paid
off auto loans, mortgages, student
loans etc)
Page 8
POSITIVE ACCOUNTS
Mortgages with no negative remarks
and on-time payments.
Auto Loans with no negative remarks
and on time payments.

FACTUAL DISPUTING
Factual disputing simply means that you are
disputing the facts that are listed on your Credit
Report to be false.
Example: You’re looking at your Credit Report with all
3 Consumer Reporting Agencies listed (Experian,
Equifax, Transunion) and you notice inconsistencies
ranging from the date opened, to the reported
balance. This is when you could benefit from factually
disputing.
You will want to print out a copy of your tri-merge
credit report. HIGHLIGHT the inaccuracies that you
see. Write out your letter (hand writing your letter)
Example: In the below image, the “High Credit”
column in Experian is 0 and in TransUnion it’s $1,707.00.
This is an inconsistency.
Page 11
FACTUAL DISPUTING
EXAMPLE LETTER
In the attached copy of my credit report I have
clearly highlighted and pointed out inaccurate
reporting on the following account:
ACCOUNT DETAILS
I am not an expert, but the FCRA does clearly
state that my credit report needs to be 100%
accurate and consistent. As of right now, it is
neither accurate, or consistent.
I am writing this letter demanding that this
inaccurately reported account be removed from
my credit profile due to the inaccuracy and
inconsistency.
This request is not being made in error and I will
be contacting both of the other bureaus that are
also in violation of reporting this account
inaccurately.
YOU WILL THEN WANT TO MAIL YOUR LETTER VIA
CERTIFIED MAIL WITH A TRACKING NUMBER. THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Page 12
FACTUAL DISPUTING
STEPS TO TAKE AFTER YOUR LETTER IS RECEIVED
BY THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY

respectful. Remember we want them to HELP us, not
HANG UP on us!

the next person.

BUILDING CREDIT
Introduction To Credit Building
After repairing your credit and removing
negative accounts, the next crucial step is
building and maintaining a strong credit
profile. While removing negative items is
essential for improving your credit score,
there can be an unintended consequence—
if you remove accounts with a significant
amount of age, it can actually lower the
average age of your credit history, which
can hurt your overall score.
This is why credit building is so important. By
strategically adding new accounts,
especially those that can help recoup the
age lost when older accounts are removed,
you can not only strengthen your credit
profile but also help boost your score over
time.
In this section, we’ll explore how to replace
that lost age and continue building your
credit with methods like adding authorized
user tradelines, reporting rental history, and
using credit-building accounts. These steps
will ensure that you maintain a well-
rounded and healthy credit profile, setting
you up for long-term financial success.

BUILDING CREDIT
Revolving credit and Installment credit are
two key types of credit accounts that can
impact your credit profile differently. Here's
a breakdown of each and some primary
accounts to begin rebuilding credit:
Revolving Credit:
Revolving credit refers to credit accounts
where you have a credit limit that you
can use repeatedly. As you make
payments, your available credit resets,
allowing you to borrow again. Common
examples include credit cards and lines
of credit.
Benefits of Revolving Credit:
Demonstrates responsible use of credit.
Helps establish a revolving credit history.
Can improve credit utilization ratio
(lower utilization is better).
Primary Revolving Credit Account:
Self Credit Card: You'll receive a credit limit
based on your deposit. Regular, on-time
payments will be reported positively to
credit bureaus, improving your credit score.

Installment Credit:
Installment credit involves fixed payments
over a specified period, typically for items
like auto loans, student loans, or mortgages.
Benefits of Installment Credit:
Shows your ability to manage fixed monthly
payments.
Contributes to a diverse credit mix, which is
favorable for credit scores.
Primary Installment Credit Accounts:
Self Installment Loan: You make monthly
payments into a secured savings account. The
consistent payments build a positive payment
history on your credit report.
