FIX YOUR SCORE

1. If you have a low credit score, the banks will not give you a loan (for your house or car).

2. The banks will only give a loan to you if they are confident that you will repay it. A low credit score indicates that you are a bad payer of your existing accounts.                                                                                                                                                    3. Banks have a minimum credit score cut-off. Banks will not lend to you if you do not meet the minimum credit score. At present, this minimum credit score is 750.

HOW CAN WE HELP

1. We will analyse your credit report and financial position and compile a customised set of recommendations that will result in creating your credit score. We will do this over a three (3) month period and issue you with an updated set of recommendations each month. This will result in creating a credit score for you within 1 – 2 months. In addition to the recommendations, you will have unlimited telephonic access to a credit adviser.

BLACKLISTING REMOVAL

WHEN DO YOU NEED IT

1. If you have been unfairly blacklisted:
a) your account is not and has never been in arrears;
b) you have made a payment arrangement with the bank or creditor, prior to the blacklisting; or
c) you have not been notified of the blacklisting, 20 days before you were listed;
2. If you have since settled the outstanding debt, related to the blacklisting;
3. If you have been blacklisted for prescribed debt;
4. If you have been blacklisted for accounts opened fraudulently i.e. you are a victim of identity theft and impersonation; or
5. If your accounts are incorrectly reflecting missed or late payments and arrears – when they have been paid and are up to date. LegalParners will assist you.

Why do you need LegalPartners for this?

WHY YOU NEED IT

1. A blacklisting is an automatic reason for any bank to decline your home loan, vehicle finance, credit card or personal loan.
2. In the majority of instances, a blacklisting is also an automatic reason for any credit provider (e.g. clothing & furniture retailers, cell phone companies, mico-lenders etc.) to decline any application for credit.
3. Having any of these “black marks” on your name flags you as a high risk to the banks and credit providers. It destroys your creditworthiness and any chance of securing finance.
4. If you ignore these blacklistings and continue to default on the monthly repayments, your creditors will start legal action against you. This means your account is handed over to attorneys and you will incur their legal costs and interest charges.
5. Ultimately your creditors will obtain a judgment against you, then a writ of execution, resulting in a garnishee on your salary or repossession of your assets.
6. These “black marks” also work against you, when applying for a new job or a promotion. It suggests that you are irresponsible and cannot manage your finances.
7. If you want finance or a new job or a promotion, you must have these black-listings removed.
8. This will improve your credit score and credit worthiness and will result in your finance application being approved.
