Michael Petruccelli asks; What are some tips for giving your credit score a boost? (10)




Michael Petruccelli says;  Ask for a good will adjustment
If you are running late, ask your creditor for a good will adjustment. This means a creditor removes one or two late payments from your credit report. To get one, you’ll need a good history with the company. Most won’t do it if you’re habitually late. You’ll also need to ask – no creditor will offer to forgive a late payment.
