Episode Summary

Are you struggling to get a loan due to poor credit history?

Or maybe you have a negative item on your credit report, and you don’t even know where it came from?!?

Credit scores and reports can affect every aspect of life and most have very little knowledge when it comes to building or improving credit.

Devin Norcross is an expert on credit scores, credit repair, and debt restructuring. Formally the Regional Director for National Credit Care, he has traveled coast to coast working closely with various lending institutions, businesses, and charities. He now owns and runs Norcross Credit Consulting, spending his time educating others on the little known intricacies of the FICO scoring models and processes used by the major credit-reporting bureaus and how to use this information to improve their credit scores.

In this episode, Devin and I discuss the importance of having and maintaining a high credit score and how having a B- score can cost you thousands of extra dollars every year in interest. Devin shares the fatal mistakes many people make when it comes to trying to improve their credit and the dangers of inquiring for new loans. Do you think that going to your bank will get you the best rates? Think again, Devin gives tips for getting the best rates on your next loan and easy steps to take to increase your credit score and restructure your debt.

If you’re interested in the secrets to quickly improve your credit or what to do when you’re battling debt and collections you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.
