You deserve to join the 800 club!

You see I started like many of you reading this very page right now, grew up in “middle class” home and was never taught the true value of building credit and being responsible with my credit because they didn’t know either. It was simply generations of family that didn’t understand this amazing tool called credit and instead abused it and ended up with no credit or having to file bankruptcy.

Most people in America either hate credit so attempt to live life on “cash only”, then there are those who stay away from credit because they don’t trust themselves to handle it responsibly and everyone else who uses it somewhat responsibly and attempts to understand it and build their profile. 

Lets rewind a bit in time here, I abused credit that was extended to me, didn’t pay it and then had to go bankrupt after that because I didn’t know what else to do. All those late payments, charge offs and then eventually bankruptcy completely destroyed my credit profile. Don’t believe me? When I finally was ready to try and fix my credit I started with a 463 as seen below. 

At first I hired people to attempt to fix it, and after getting burned for thousands and thousands of dollars and wasting over a year, I realized that this isn’t something I can outsource and so I had to roll up my sleeves and really understand what was involved here in order to get a great credit score. 

Look at what the scores below are dated! That means in just over a year I was able to completely transform my score.
