For the people who are asking themselves “How do get out of debt,” here are some answers. First thing, get a copy of one’s credit report and go over it thoroughly, looking for errors or inconsistencies. If there are any, dispute them in writing and via registered or return mail. Go through the reporting agencies to see if they’ll remove the negative mark from the report, increasing the total score. If there is no satisfaction from the reporting agencies, send disputes to the original creditor and ask them to provide verification of the debt’s authenticity. If they cannot do so, the charge will be deleted from the credit report.
