Job Loss and Credit Repair

By rastid | Jul 11, 2010

Sad as it is to say so, many employers hold the erroneous notion that bad credit is synonymous with bad morals. You know this is a ridiculous belief, but many leaders of the corporate world accept it as doctrine. It is not uncommon these days for employers to run credit checks on their staff, claiming that they are only trying to protect themselves from thefts and such crimes. There have been many cases recently in which employees were actually let go from their jobs because of credit problems—even if those problems were the results of medical bills for an ill child or spouse.

Yes, you can lose your job because of bad credit, but what is even more frequently the case is that bad credit can prevent people from being given the job in the first place. If credit checks for existing employees are not yet common practice for all businesses, still, the majority of them do utilize credit checks as part of their screening process for prospective employees.


If you are in need of credit repair, whatever the cause in your credit history may be, you can’t afford to do nothing. Even if you have no intentions of buying a house or car in the near future, repairing your credit cannot wait, as recent hiring and firing trends indicate.

Your best choice for repairing your credit is a basic process of sending out credit dispute letters. It is as simple as this:

1)      Acquire a copy of your credit report.

2)      Review the report, paying special attention to any item that may be reporting inaccurately.

3)      Locate a sample of what credit dispute letters should look like (also referred to as credit repair letters or a credit dispute sample letter) onlineon the Internet.

4)      Adapt that credit letter to the item you want to dispute and send it to the reporting agency.

5)      Await the results.

There is no reason you should pay an expensive credit repair agency to produce these letters for you. You can quite easily produce them on your own.
