Floridians have an average credit score of 668. At 648, Tallahassee’s average credit score is 20 points lower than the state’s average, meaning many Tallahassee residents have a poor credit rating. Credit ratings are a determining factor when Tallahassee residents:
Credit reporting agencies determine your credit score by looking at your credit utilization ratio, payment history, length of credit history, new accounts opened and the variety of credit types you have. Each of the three national credit rating bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) uses a formula that rates these factors differently.
Mistakes on your report can lead to a low credit score that is not an accurate reflection of your creditworthiness. These mistakes can result from identity theft, improper reporting or items being left on your credit history after they should have been removed. Improper entries can result in higher interest rates on loans or application denials when the lender bases a decision on your credit score.
Credit repair companies request copies of your credit history from the national rating bureaus and look for inaccurate entries. Once these are identified, the company disputes these items on your behalf and attempts to have them removed, which raises your credit score.
Federal regulations prevent credit repair agencies from charging fees upfront, although you may need to pay a small initial cost to cover the price of obtaining your credit reports. Most credit repair agencies charge a monthly rate, though some request payment on a per-removal basis.
The credit repair process can take from six months to a year to see full results, though items may be removed from your report in as few as 30 days.
Consumers should beware of unscrupulous credit repair companies. Some of these companies guarantee to raise your credit score by a specific number of points or claim they can remove legitimate entries on your credit report. These scam businesses usually charge a large upfront fee and then disappear without doing any work on your behalf.
