Answers To Most Frequently Asked Topic Questions Above:

Why sign up?
The real question is -- Why not? You will never get anywhere without starting cleanup, repair, removal and deletion services on your personal credit report.  Why continue putting it off more and more when the situation is going to do nothing but worsen.  Don't hesitate with your credit.  Credit Errors and continual changes are always being made to your credit report -- so why not get the problems fixed now!  Sign up today!

What are advantages of signing up immediately?
The sooner you start, the faster you will put an end to your delinquent, pastdue and derogatory credit history.  You will be able once again, to enjoy your credit and make it work for you.

How many accounts can I give to you on my report?
You can assign us as many credit accounts that you like -- from as little as one (1) account to all your accounts listed on your credit report.  The price will not change based on the number of accounts that you assign to us*.

*Each individual case is different; however additional costs may be applied if applicant has several bankruptcies to be removed, along with judgments, collections and other services not indicated at time of application.

How do I know the information is being removed?
You will receive updated credit reports from all three (3) of the major credit reporting agencies as soon as we begin working on your credit file.  You can keep the originals for your own record, but will have to send a copy of all information received to your Credit Advocate once you receive any information from the credit reporting agencies.  (This is the only way that we will know that they are doing what we requested of them -- by receiving the information from you we will know.)

How do I Cancel the Service?
You may cancel the service at anytime that you like after we submit at least the first-round of entries to the credit reporting agencies for dispute, resolution or other investigation.  Once you are satisfied with our results, you may send a written request to cancel services to: cancel-lexington@artistic-capitalcorp.com and we will immediately forward your request to the appropriate Credit Advocate and attorney handling your files.

How do I re-establish new credit?
Once you have received an update on your personal credit report, your existing fico score will change tremendously if we were successful in deleting a great deal of the information that you were disputing.  If your score is accepted, it would be best to not to apply immediately but allow your credit file to "rest" just a month or two.  After this time, you can then apply for secured credit cards to assist you with getting more established if you do not presently have alot of credit showing.  Or you can apply for any credit card that is available online or through directmail.  For a list of credit cards that offer re-establishment services to consumers, visit our secure site or point to: http://www.artistic-capitalcorp.com/ARTISTIC-CREDIT-CARDS.htm.

Can I still use my credit while you are correcting it?
Yes. As long as you are not making new credit applications using your credit file and social security number.  This will cause more inquiries to be listed on your credit file while we are working to get information removed.  It's best not to apply for anything that will cause a new inquiry to your credit report.  If applying for employment or services like this that do not require the review of your personal credit report you may do so.

Do you have alternative options available?
IYes.  You can visit our Credit Enhancement Services Website or contact one of our partners directly at thecreditfilescoinc@yahoo.com for immediate assistance in offering other services not mentioned through our agency.

Will my spouse benefit wehn my credit report is corrected?
Yes and No.  Yes, if you and your spouse have applied for joint credit the entire time in which you have been together as both your credit reports will reference both your names and all your credit together.  No, if your spouse has individual credit separately from yours.  Our services will only assist our client, which is you!  If your spouse wanted to repair, correct or cleanup their personal credit file, they would need to be a client of ours before that would happen.  If you would like to make some easy money referring your spouse, friends, or family members ... just download our Referrals Form and send it in to us immediately.

How often should I check my personal credit?
We recommend that all consumers should be checking their personal credit reports at least every three (3) months or sooner.  If you have alot of credit or you are paying off alot of debt, then we would suggest that you check it every sixty (60) days to ensure that the information being reported is accurate.  Most consumers never check their credit and that's why credit fraud is high on the rise.

How much does it cost if I use Artistic!'s Credit Services?
It costs $1,000 for the placement of your file with any of our attorneys.  We work with several law firms and can place you with any participating and hired law firm that is affiliated with our agency.  There are no monthly payments with our agency, just a one-time placement fee of $1,000.  Based on which law firm we send your request to, you will be billed by that law firm for their initial retainer, which is not more than $100.00 and their monthly payments are very reasonable around $35.00 - $50.00 per month.

What is Debt To Income Ratios?
When a creditor is referring to Debt To Income Ratios they are determining the total amount of debt that a consumer has based on his/her annual income compared to that of the consumers total pay availability.  They are trying to make certain that you have enough income left over minus all your debt in monthly payments to determine if you are still qualified for whatever loan, lines of credit, credit card product, and etc. that you may have applied for.

What are general approval requirements for credit?
Credit approval factors:  Keeping low debt, never maxx-out more than 35% of your total credit limits on your credit cards, lines of credit, and etc.; stay at one residence for at least a year or more before moving, keep full-time employed for two (2) years or more, and do not apply for alot of credit all at one time.

Most credit reporting agencies keep scoring systems on all consumers, which allows credit granters the opportunity in reviewing this information through databases available to them at all credit reporting agencies.  Credit pre-qualifiers or scoring systems determine the pre-approval for most consumers by the database that is provided on each consumer at all of the credit reporting agencies, and they allow all credit granters to review this information to make offer to consumers by telephone and/or directmail.

In order for you to receive these offers, it is best to make certain that you have pre-qualified yourself based on the factors listed above.

What about bankruptcies?  Why do they last 10 years ?
Unfortunately bankruptcies will remain on your personal credit report a minimum of seven (7) years and a maximum of ten (10) years.  Why?  Because this is the systems way of making you pay for your mistakes and the cost you incur for having to file for bankruptcy is that you are now not able to obtain credit until this time has expired.  Fortunately, now bad credit is big business, and most any consumer can now restart, rebuild, and re-establish his/her personal credit regardless of a bankrutpcy and how long it has to remain on their credit reports.  You can now purchase mortgages, get financing, credit cards, and more even with bad credit!!!!  (The industry has come along way in this regard, and now though you have bad credit, you can start again, but unfortunately it normally costs a lot more because your credit is bad.)

Will I can I get more pre-approvals by mail?
You will have to maintain your excellent credit rating once established and continue to show a low debt to income ratio for a particular amount of months.  Once you have done this, most every credit card company, loan company, mortgage company and banks will start sending you all kinds of others.  Most consumers are irritated by the constant flow of mail that is received, however; you are not obligated in anyway to apply for any pre-approval received by directmail or solicited over the telephone.

Why do credit bureaus not remove information when disputed?
Unfortunately due to their backlog and overflow of information that is received by consumers, attorneys representing consumers and many times due to situations with staff and other reporting errors.  They indicate that all information that is disputed is investigated when in actuality they are not investigating the information.  Which causes you the consumer continual delays in getting the right information reported on your personal credit report.
 

I run and own my own business and would like to know how to go about reporting my customers to the credit bureaus?
There are usually a number of factors involved with qualifying for a subscriber account with credit reporting agencies.  1.  You must be a registered and licensed business in your State of business operation.  2.  Your business must be listed with information services.  3.  You must request and complete a subscriber application with each of the credit reporting agencies, which will require your business purchasing Credit Reporting Software.  4.  You must sign a subscriber's agreement and return it before an account is setup for you.  5.  Your business must have at least a minimum of 100 customers with monthly payments coming in to your company in order to meet the credit bureaus minimum requirements.  (Some of them do not have minimums based on the reporting status that is required for your company.)  6.  You must pay your annual subscriber's fee:  $150.00 to $350.00 per year with each of the bureaus in order to be considered an active subscriber, and lastly 7.  Their may or may not be an account setup and activation fee required if going through a processor.

For more information on subscriber accounts contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.  Send a written email to: creditbureaus@artistic-capitalcorp.com

 
Can I apply for credit using my business and the credit I have get reported on my personal credit report?
No.  If you own and operate a business, your business credit is separate from that of your personal credit and cannot be reported to the credit bureaus when you are using an Employer Identification Number (EIN#).  If you are a sole-proprietor, which requires your using your Social Security Number as your business identification -- then any credit that you establish in your sole-proprietorship business name, will eventually show up at the credit bureaus as credit in your name as well. 

It is always best to keep your personal credit separate from your business credit as the debt could eventually become high and very costly to you as a small business owner.  You may find yourself maxxed-out alot while trying to fund or finance your business, which will eventually affect your personal credit report in the longrun.  All personal credit reports to all three (3) major credit reporting agencies (TransUnion, Experian, Equifax and sometimes Innovex); but business credit is reported only to Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) and/or that of Experian Business Services.

 
B O N U S   Q U E S T I O N S  A N D  A N S W E R S
 
What is the best way for me to remove my ex-spouses credit from my credit report?
Contact your ex-spouse and have them handwrite and sign a letter addressed to all three (3) credit reporting agencies requesting that your name and accounts be separated from their accounts.  If these accounts were joint, your ex-spouse would also have to remove your name as joint applicant and/or authorized user in order for your accounts to be separated and their credit information not merge or showup with yours.  This would also mean that you would not be able to use your ex-spouses credit that you were once using. 

 
I requested a credit card for my college daughter and she is now delinquent.  Will this affect my personal credit score also?
IYes most definately.  The account primarily belongs to you since you opened it.  Your college daughter is considered either an authorized user, or a joint applicant with authorization to use the credit card.  When she uses the card and becomes delinquent, you are delinquent also.  It's best to immediately bring the account current when you are made aware of this, by sending a payment for the delinquency immediately before you cycle.  If this is the first time pastdue or delinquent, most creditors will not report you delinquent; but if it's happened before, you will be reported delinquent on your next cycle date.

 
What are the advantages of establishing more than one (1) credit file identity?
The biggest advantage is that you can establish more credit, but all the names that you would use would show up on your existing credit report and unfortunately most creditors may look at that as you get married alot, or they could assume that you have too many alias -- and in that, there would not be an advantage to you.  However; if established correctly you can gain more credit and financial power in the longrun.  For more information regarding credit identities, credit fraud, credit enhancements and other services; visit one of our affiliated services by sending an email directly to: thecreditfilescoinc@yahoo.com
