  9. Thanks for your posting. I would also like to opinion that the first thing you will need to complete is to see if you really need credit score improvement. To do that you have got to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit report. That should really not be difficult, because government mandates that you are allowed to get one absolutely free copy of your own credit report yearly. You just have to inquire the right persons. You can either find out from the website for that Federal Trade Commission and also contact one of the major credit agencies directly.
