Re: Credit and Credit Scores: A short lesson

Don't use one of those credit repair clinics. All they do is offer to remove wrong or bad info from your credit report and you can do that yourself.

Could anyone explain how to do this yourself? Around 98-00 I got myself into some bad credit issues. I was in college and effed it bad. I had 2 CC's, one for like $500 and one for $700. Maxed them both out and never paid them off, they went to collections=My score suxs.
About 4-5 months ago, I got a crappy CC with an annual fee and a pretty high % rate with a line of $600. Then a month later I got a better one with no annual fee but a line of only $300, then about 2 weeks ago I got a Chase card with a great APR and $2100 line, so it appears to me that my credit is vastly improving. But I will always wonder about those 2 old CC's and how to get rid of that crap so I can get a really good score going. Thoughts?
