Debt... A Four Letter Word That Can Ruin Your Credit

I knew a young man who we’ll call John. John made good choices early in life. He graduated from high school and went directly to college. While there, he enjoyed the care-free life of being a student, single and debt free… at least in the beginning.
While in college, John secured a part-time job to help with college expenses. Shortly thereafter, he began receiving credit card invitations in the mail. John had never owned a credit card before and the allure of buying with ‘plastic’ was just too tempting.
He began filling out the applications and to his amazement, he was approved. Over time John received several credit cards.
That’s when the problems began. Spending unwisely, John quickly incurred a mountain of debt. Unfortunately he hadn’t taken the time to fully understand how interest rates would affect the balances on his credit cards either.
Soon his credit card debt began to spiral out of control. Then the unthinkable happened. He started getting behind on his monthly payments.
His creditors suddenly saw him as a high risk and dramatically increased the interest rate on his credit cards. Now, his payments were higher than ever. John like so many others had joined the ranks of people with bad credit.
Eventually, John graduated from college and he thought his struggle would soon be over. Degree in hand, he began to apply for different jobs in his field. His plan was to obtain a great job. Then, among other things he’d pay off his debt and begin to repair his credit, as it had now been damaged by numerous late payments on his credit cards.
After several interviews John began receiving rejection letters. He soon learned that the employers had denied him a job after discovering he had bad credit. To add insult to injury he was unable to get an apartment because of his credit problems.
Desperate for a solution, John began talking to family and friends for help. A close friend advised him that he had experienced similar problems but had an effective way to repair his credit and increase his FICO score. His friend suggested trying a new publication he found while surfing the web.
John figured that he had nothing to lose, so he gave it a try. That was 30 days ago. Today John is well on the road to credit recovery. Here is what he used… http://www.attorneycreditrepairguide.com
