    Nanette was on maternity leave at the time of listing. She found it very difficult to keep up with the payments, having 2 children under the age of 2 and on a single income which was not very regular. Her ex-partner was a chef at the time and was only working on a casual basis. Nanette only found out about the listings when she tried to obtain finance and found 3 listings on her credit report.

    What were any challenges with the creditor?
    We had delays with NCO Finance as St George was not able to provide the requested documents in a timely matter.

    Why was the listing removed?
    The listing was removed as a result of the negotiations and communications between NCO, St George and MyCRA Lawyers.

    Summary:
    Nanette was referred to our office by her mortgage broker. Nanette was trying to obtain finance and wanted the defaults removed on her credit file. We managed to negotiate the removal of her default and now that Nanette’s default listings were all removed, she can now move forward financially. Congratulations Nanette!

    Huseyin is a commercial painter and he had outstanding payments from clients and could not pay creditors. He went bankrupt and was annulled shortly afterwards.

    What were any challenges with the creditor?
    There were no issues with the plaintiff’s solicitors as they responded to our requests in a timely manner.

    Why was the listing removed?
    The plaintiff’s solicitors had agreed to set aside judgment.

    Summary:
    Huseyin’s broker noticed the listings when he applied for credit. Huseyin called our office as he wanted to know how we can help removed the listings. We managed to negotiate removal of his court action listing in 16 days and Huseyin is now one step closer in achieving his home loan. Congratulations Huseyin!

    Rikki’s default came from a car loan when he parted ways with his ex-wife. His ex-wife was given everything in their break up and also kept possession of the car which Rikki believed she was making regular payments on.

    What were any challenges with the creditor?
    ANZ/Esanda took 30 days to provide the requested documents to our firm.

    Why was the listing removed?
    We found a legislative error in which the default was placed against Rikki. We confirmed details with Rikki and after our case was brought to ANZ/Esanda’s attention they confirmed that there was an error and removed the default listing.

    Summary:
    Rikki was referred to our office by his mortgage broker. Rikki wanted the default removed from his credit file as he is trying to obtain finance. We managed to negotiate removal of the default listing in 61 days and Rikki can now move forward financially. Congratulations Rikki!

    that’s right it was for me impossible to get any loan, without your help, cause you know I had two default unjustified and um I dunno if Lauren knew about it, I contacted Veda and the default has been removed completely, probably she doesn’t know yet haha, but i wanted to let her know, and my Veda score is the highest in Australia, its 911.

    That’s fantastic

    So yeah

    So it’s just that default that was making it hard yeah?

    Yes, my Veda score was 452 (yep) 20% bottom, you know, bottom, I mean sub zero, and now it’s 911, (yep) it’s the highest in the country. It’s in the 81 – 100%, so it’s the – it’s an excellent score – Excellent.

  • Why you really don’t want to be late with your credit card

    repayment history informationDo you have a credit card that you regularly let loose on? If you have trouble paying it back, you need to know that big brother may be watching YOU! Australia’s credit laws have just had a major overhaul. One of the biggest changes affecting you will be that your repayment history on accounts such as your credit card may show up on your credit file. This could impact you and your ability to obtain credit. We look at what you need to know about your repayment habits, and give you some tips so that you may be less likely to be caught out with bad credit.

    By Graham Doessel, Non-Legal Director of MyCRA Lawyers.

    The lowdown on the new laws…

    From March 12 2014, your repayment history on licensed credit accounts (this includes your loans and also your credit cards) may show up on your credit file and remain there for 2 years.

    An account of this type more than 5 days late could be recorded late by your credit provider, if they decide to take up the new credit system.

    Here is some information on repayment history information, set out on the Office of the Information Commissioner’s website:

    What is repayment history information (RHI)?

    RHI is information about whether you have met your consumer credit payment obligations. Consumer credit is credit that is intended to be used primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

    RHI includes information about whether you have made a payment on time or whether you have missed a payment. If you only pay part of the amount owing, you are taken to have missed a payment.

    RHI includes the day on which a payment is due, and if you made a payment after that day, the date on which you paid. Therefore, RHI can include both positive and negative information about your credit history.

    It does not include the amount of any missed payment — only the fact that you have made or missed a payment.

    What types of payments could be included in my RHI?

    RHI can include information about any consumer credit payments that you make, or fail to make, to a credit provider that holds an Australian Credit Licence.

    This means that RHI will usually reflect made or missed payments on a loan or credit card.

    When can credit providers begin collecting RHI?

    RHI can only relate to payments that you have made or missed from December 2012. Then from March 2014 licenced credit providers can pass your RHI on to credit reporting bodies.

    How will my RHI affect my ability to obtain credit?

    From March 2014, credit reporting bodies can disclose your RHI, along with other credit-related personal information, to licenced credit providers. Those credit providers may use this information to help determine your eligibility to be provided with credit.

    This means that if you fail to make the full amount of a payment on time from December 2012 it may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

    How far back will my RHI go?

    Information about any particular payment cannot be held for more than two years from the date it was due.

    However, RHI will not include information about any payment that was due before December 2012.

    How will I know if a credit provider will pass my RHI on to a credit reporting body?

    When a credit provider collects your RHI it should notify you of certain matters, including the name and contact details of any credit reporting body to whom it is likely to disclose the information.

    So whilst not every licensed credit provider will be taking comprehensive credit reporting on board, and some will take a while to apply the changes, it is really important to start implementing better credit habits NOW to ensure you’re not caught out with bad credit.

    Here’s our top tips to make sure you stay on top of your credit card and avoid a late payment notation and also defaults:

    1. Pay on time, every time.

    It doesn’t have to be a big account to have an impact on you. Accounts for as little as $150 which go unpaid can see you defaulted and banned from mainstream credit for five years. Paying on time, every time is your first line of defence against bad credit, especially following the introduction of late payment history.

    2. If you can’t pay for it – let your Credit Provider know.

    If you run into money troubles – the WORST thing you can do is pretend like it’s not happening. If you lose your job, or run into temporary financial difficulty – the smart thing to do is contact your Credit Provider to work out alternative arrangements to bridge the gap. Asking for a financial hardship variation may save your credit file even if you are struggling to make payments.

    3. Tie up all financial loose ends when you move or go overseas

    A really common way people can find themselves in trouble with their credit file – sometimes without even knowing it – is when they move house or go overseas for extended periods. Typically an account gets sent to your previous address and remains unpaid and then listed as such on your credit file. This can occur frequently with electricity accounts. If you move around a lot, consider a P.O. Box for all your mail or an alternative address. Likewise, make sure you contact your Credit Providers to inform them of your new address when you move – or if going overseas, have someone keep an eye on your mail.

    4. Check your credit statements and order a credit report.

    Many people of all age groups have the mistaken view that if something wasn’t right with their credit accounts or something was listed incorrectly on their credit file – that someone would inform them. This is seldom the case. It is your responsibility to check that your accounts are running right by checking your statements when they come in. Review each phone bill. Query anything you’re not sure of.

    In addition to this, you should also regularly check what is being seen by lenders by ordering a copy of your credit file. It is free once every year from Australia’s credit reporting agencies – and you should order it annually to make sure everything reads as it should.

    5. You have a right to correct mistakes

    Every Australian needs to know that mistakes can happen on credit reports. Likewise, bad credit can be listed on credit files unknowingly.

    A credit listing that you feel is inaccurate or unfair should be tested against the appropriate legislation for its validity and its accuracy. The process of dispute is not easy, but Creditors should be called to account for any inconsistencies. You should also know Creditors have a legal obligation to remove a listing which was placed incorrectly.

  • Credit reporting in Australia – your questions answered

    credit reportThere are some credit reporting changes just arrived which may affect you and your ability to get a home loan, a car loan or any other type of credit. Obtaining credit in Australia may be a little different from now on, as since March 12 Australia has stepped into a comprehensive credit reporting regime. We feel it’s important to educate consumers about credit in Australia, so we look at the credit file basics, and what you should know about taking on credit in Australia.

    By Graham Doessel, Non-Legal Director of MyCRA Lawyers www.mycralawyers.com.au

    We answer your basic questions about credit reporting in Australia…

    What is my credit rating?

    Your credit rating is a file on your credit history and is collated by the major credit reporting agencies if you have ever been credit-active. Your credit rating is then checked by any financial institution or credit provider and is used to assess both the amount you are able to borrow and your ability to repay the loan.

    What does ‘credit active’ mean?

    Anyone that has borrowed money, or has established an account for services is credit active and will have a file in their name. This includes mobile phone plans, accounts with utility companies, rates accounts and of course loans of any kind.

    What is defined as a ‘bad’ credit rating?

    In broad terms, any credit defaults, court actions or writs, external administrations and bankruptcy are all recorded on your credit file and would be considered ‘bad’ credit history by most credit providers.

    In this current economic climate, basic defaults and even too many credit enquiries or applications for credit may be considered to be tarnishing your credit rating. Your repayment history may also be considered ‘bad’ credit if you have too many late payment notations against your name.

    How do I know if I have a bad credit rating?

    If you are unsure what is on your credit file, it would be worth taking the time to find out.

    There are three major credit reporting agencies in Australia: Equifax (Formerly Veda Advantage) – which holds the credit file of over 16 million Australians, Dun and Bradstreet and Tasmanian Collection Service.

    You can write to or email one of these agencies and request a copy of your file. If you are not in a hurry there is no charge to you but it will take 10 working days from application to receive this information.

    What is not realised by many people is how easy it is to have a default slapped on your credit file. If a bill of $150 is more than 60 days late (including rates, power, and mobile phone bills) then a credit provider has the right to notify you of their intention to record this default on your credit file. Even if the account is paid and noted on your file, this default usually remains on your record for 5 years.

    In addition to this, if you are more than 5 days late repaying your credit card or loan account – you may also have a late payment notation recorded against your name.

  • The new credit habit EVERY Australian should adopt in 2014

    Media Release

    credit reportThe new credit habit EVERY Australian should adopt in 2014.

    15 January 2014

    New credit history data about Australians is set to be shared with credit providers in March this year, after a 16-month collection period that many consumers have been unaware of – and a consumer credit advocate is warning Australians about the importance of routinely checking their credit rating to make sure their information is accurate.

    Graham Doessel, Non-Legal Director of MyCRA Lawyers – a firm focusing on credit disputes, says come March, Australia’s credit reporting laws are set for a major overhaul as part of widespread changes to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and a move to more “comprehensive” credit reporting will see much more information available to lenders, including repayment history.

    “Since December 2012 if you have been late making repayments to finance providers on accounts such as credit cards and loans, this information has been collected. From March 2014 this information will be included as part of your credit history and available to potential lenders who perform a credit check,” Mr Doessel explains.

    The other new data sets available to lenders include – the date on which a credit account was opened; the date on which a credit account was closed; the type of credit account opened; and the current limit of each open credit account.

    “It is up to every individual to ensure the information recorded about them is accurate, but unfortunately, the majority of Australians are just not checking their credit rating – I think this is a big worry going forward under these new laws.”

    In September last year, credit reporting agency Veda Advantage published results of a survey showing that a whopping 80 per cent of Australians have never checked their credit history and 53 per cent were not aware that they could ask for a copy of their credit file.(1)

    Mr Doessel says these numbers reflect a nation which is largely unaware of just how important their credit file can be for lenders making financial decisions.

    “There are no class lines, whether rich or poor if your credit file is ‘impaired’ by negative notations, your ability to obtain credit will be affected or the interest rate you are offered will be higher,” he says.

    Up till now, only accounts more than 60 days in arrears were recorded on Australian credit files and listed as ‘defaults’. The new laws add to this, and allow for the 2-year recording of late payments on licenced credit made even one day late, although Mr Doessel says a grace period of 5 days has been proposed to be implemented with a new Credit Reporting Code of Conduct.

    “Five days is still an extremely small window in which to ensure that mistakes or simple oversights on both sides haven’t occurred. It is really essential that Australians keep good paperwork on all credit accounts, and routinely check their credit history,” he says.

    Mr Doessel says it is unknown just what weight lenders will give to this new information they have available to them.

    “It’s up to each lender and their own calculations as to how they treat this new information as well as whether a potential borrower is refused credit or bumped up to a higher interest rate. But I believe late payment notations will impact the individual’s credit score,” he says.

    HOW TO CHECK YOUR CREDIT RATING.

    • It is not well publicised, but under Australian law checking your credit report is free once per year for each individual.

    • It takes about 10 working days from the receipt of your request to send you out your report. This ‘free’ report doesn’t contain any credit score, but does list all of the credit information about you available to any potential lender, as well as all of your personal information.

    • You can apply for a copy of your credit report from credit reporting agencies Veda Advantage, Dun & Bradstreet, Experian and Tasmanian Collection Services (if in Tasmania).

    Or you can apply all in one place at www.freecreditrating.com.au.

    • You can generally pay the credit reporting agencies to be sent an urgent report, or with Veda Advantage, obtain your ‘VedaScore’.

    • If you check your own credit report you do not generate a “credit enquiry” through the agency’s system, whereas if you leave it to a lender, you do. Too many credit enquiries can be detrimental as they are classed as ‘applications’ and potential lenders can assume this notation means you have been refused credit in the past.

    “Thankfully, if there are issues of inaccuracy on credit reports from March – there will be more support for correction within the new legislation, so we are hopeful dispute cases have more chances of success than they’ve had in the past,” Mr Doessel says.

  • How will open credit scores impact Australians?

    access credit scoreCredit reporting agency Veda Advantage has just announced it will allow consumers to receive a copy of their credit score with their credit report. We look at how that will occur, and what possible impact that will have on consumers and also brokers and whether consumers will be better able to manage their credit worthiness using this ‘score’.

    By Graham Doessel, Founder and CEO of MyCRA Credit Rating Repair and www.fixmybadcredit.com.au.

    It was announced on Monday by Banking Day that Veda has ‘lifted the veil’ on credit scores and will allow consumers to be able to apply to see their credit score. Available to consumers for the first time, the VedaScore is a number between 0 and 1,200 that summarises information on your Veda credit file at a specific point in time. The higher the ‘VedaScore’ the better an individual is considered credit worthy.

    For a fee consumers will be able to access their credit score along with their credit file.

    This is over and above the standard credit report, which is still free from all of Australia’s credit reporting agencies once every year and is sent after 10 working days of application.

    Despite being the credit reporting agency holding the credit files of the largest number of credit active Australians, Veda has in the past remained tight lipped about default numbers and credit statistics in Australia.

    But this week they have offered some insight into credit activity, whilst releasing their ‘VedaScore’ product, by offering up a ‘Veda ScoreCard’ – which reportedly combines consumer research of 1,000 Australians about their finances with analysis of 300,000 VedaScores.

    One of the biggest findings was that more than 2.3 million Australians are at risk of financial strife in the next year, with 27% (628,000) at high risk of credit default from something as simple as an unpaid bill, credit card or loan.

    Veda’s survey also found some interesting facts about credit active Australians. Here are three we found most troubling about the credit active Australians surveyed:

    93% know they have a credit record, but don’t know you can access it

    81% are not concerned about their credit history

    80% have never checked their credit history

    Veda says the national average credit score is 749. But whilst Veda Marketing Manager Belinda Diprose, says in a statement to the media that making the VedaScore available to consumers for the first time “makes it easier for Australians to understand and manage their credit profile” – I am unsure how this will occur – as it hasn’t been announced that there will be a breakdown of that score and how it is calculated. There may be no way for consumers to understand what they can do to prevent their credit score from being reduced.

    Yesterday Business Insider Australia featured an American report on How To Improve Your Credit Score. Whilst the U.S. system has a vastly different credit reporting system – what’s interesting is, the report gives us insight into how the U.S. ‘Fico’ Score is broken down:

    FICO score breakdown

     

     

    Chart from Business Insider Australia’s report.

    A similar breakdown could be useful to consumers looking to improve their credit worthiness or prevent decision making which reduces their credit score.

    How will the VedaScore impact brokers?

    Today we were quoted in The Adviser in a story about the Veda Credit Score.

     Graham Doessel, chief executive officer of MyCRA Credit Rating Repair, said brokers should use the score to select the appropriate loan and lender for their clients, cutting back on rejected loan applications.

    “Being able to see the credit score would be invaluable to brokers,” he told The Adviser. “It will make their job much easier, because they can have an idea very quickly how the client is going to fare with particular lenders.”

    Alex Shumsky from Loan Market Oakleigh also made an important point about credit scoring information in the same story:

    [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][Credit scoring] can be valuable provided the credit scoring is in line with that of the banks.

    “You can submit one loan to one bank and fail on credit scoring then submit it to another bank and it gets approved, same deal, same info but they’ll score it differently,” he said.

    It will still be up to brokers to match the right product to the right client – so whilst the VedaScore will be valuable in many cases, different banks will have different priorities and different scoring systems.

    We also see it could bring new clients to brokers – those who have obtained their credit score but don’t know how to interpret it, or what the relevance of that score will be with each lender.

    Brokers will still be quite necessary in terms of helping borrowers ‘test’ how their score rates against a range of available credit. What we don’t want to see in the future, are a great volume of borrowers ‘going it alone’ using their credit score, and then falling into the trap of worsening their credit score by generating excess credit enquiries.

    So whilst revealing the score is great, we hope consumer education goes hand in hand with this product release.

  • Consumers need credit reporting advocates: Credit repairer places in top 10% of companies in Start-Up Smart Awards 2013.

    badge_top50 Start-Up Smart Awards 2013Press Release

    Consumers need credit reporting advocates: Credit repairer places in top 10% of companies in Start-Up Smart Awards 2013.

    27 March 2012

    Credit rating repairer MyCRA has been placed at number 35 in the Australian Start-Up Smart Awards 2013, demonstrating the demand for skilled consumer advocates in the credit reporting arena.

    MyCRA Credit Rating Repair has been operating since 2009, and entrepreneur Graham Doessel – once Australia’s most successful non-conforming broker has been at the forefront of the emerging Australian credit repair industry, which he says has been born out of necessity.

    “The Global Financial Crisis has had a big impact on lending criteria, so all of a sudden it has become vitally important for Australians to have clean credit history in order to obtain approval for finance,” Mr Doessel explains.

    He says most people don’t know mistakes with credit history can and do happen, until it happens to them.

    “Most consumers have very little knowledge of credit reporting. They assume the system works, but they don’t understand that the responsibility for accuracy rests with them. Many times they apply for finance and are knocked back because of defaults or other listings they just didn’t know existed,” he says.

    There are four credit reporting agencies in Australia, and three in New Zealand, with Veda Advantage holding the majority of these credit files – with a total of over 16.5 million credit files in Australia alone. [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][i]

    Of these millions of credit files, it is not known how many contain negative listings, but some reports claim around 3 million in Australia.

    Those credit files are impacted for a period of 5 to 7 years, and affected people are generally refused credit in this time.

    “We work with those people who feel their bad credit is unfair, innacurate or inconsistent, and we go about proving that, so that unlawful listings are removed from consumer credit files,” Mr Doessel says.

    MyCRA conducts an audit-like investigation on behalf of the consumer, in order to uncover where a listing may have been placed unlawfully on the client’s credit file, and formulates a case based on legislation for requesting the listing’s removal by the Credit Provider.

    “Credit reporting is governed by strict legislation, legislation which most consumers have limited knowledge of, and often very little time to get to know. We bridge that gap,” Mr Doessel explains.

    Mr Doessel says MyCRA has been so warmly received because of the speed of listing removal, and their published success rate of up to 91.7% and he says this is down to the skill and experience of the team, which includes in-house solicitors and specialist compliance officers for each industry.

    “We have a large dedicated team, and our blue-print for success ensures that the overwhelming majority of people we take on are likely to have their inaccurate credit listing removed,” he explains.

    For the future, Mr Doessel is hoping MyCRA can continue to increase their success level and close the gap even further on their current default removal rate. He also wants to continue MyCRA’s strong history of speaking out for consumers in all matters of credit reporting.

    “Consumers will continue to need a voice, especially as new credit reporting laws emerge over the next 12 months,” he says.

    The future of our housing market, rests with Gen Y. Have we prepared them enough? We look at the particular crisis they face with housing finance, and credit defaults what the ramifications could be for their future and ours.

    couple outside houseBy MyCRA Credit Rating Repair and www.fixmybadcredit.com.au https://www.facebook.com/FixMyBadCredit.com.au.

    The older portion of Gen Y are in their mid to late 20’s. This age is the time when many previous generations have claimed their rite of passage by entering the Australian dream of owning their own property. But that was in the good old days of affordability.

    According to the Courier Mail in January, housing affordability seems to be eluding us. In 1981, the typical home sold for $48,000 just a little over three times the median household income of $15,000. But what do you do when wage rises have not matched property price rises? Today, the median home will set you back $408,000 about six-and-a-half times the median household income of $61,000.

    Property owners may say the market is low, but in reality despite a market slump, prices are still exorbitantly high for our first home buyers. Saving enough for a home can take years, and may require sacrificing the rental accommodation in preference for moving in with Mum and Dad just to scrape funds together. All of this effort may be lost, or not even attempted if you have poor credit history.

    The volume of credit available to young people pre-GFC was huge, and for people developing habits around credit, in hindsight it was extremely irresponsible to be throwing money at 18 -20 year olds and expecting them to know how to be responsible with credit.

    So many Gen Yers don’t have any clue why their history with credit matters, or how to commit to spending reduction and consistent habits of repayment because they have a history of getting what they want when they want it, and worrying about it later. Unfortunately the ‘later’ is now.

    We’re sorry Gen Y. Previous generations before you have failed to pass on the skills necessary to give you the right habits of mind to keep you out of trouble and allow you to accomplish the big goals. Goals like property, education, business or starting a family.

    This has been confirmed in two ways. Credit reporting agency Veda Advantage recently released some of their data from the last three years, which showed that Gen Y holds 60% share of all credit defaults. From telco defaults through to loan defaults – Gen Y tops the list in every category. Which invariably is a deal-breaker when applying for a mainstream home loan for the 5 year term of the listing. (See our release to the media today for more information).

    This may explain our latest first home buyer figures. The Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed two days ago that first home buyer numbers have fallen again, almost a whole percentage point from November 2012 to December 2012. (15.8% Nov 2012 down to 14.9% in December 2012).

    What Veda doesn’t tell us from their data, is how many people have defaults in this country. That we have to speculate on. Veda holds the credit files of approximately 16.5 million Australians. How many of those people have bad credit? Last year Fitch Ratings revealed mortgage delinquencies alone (mortgages over 90 days in arrears) were 1.6 % of all mortgages in the first quarter of 2012. So when we look at the number of defaults across the board, taking into account the more common defaults from telcos, energy providers and credit cards – we could increase that figure, to say 5%? If we assume that figure is correct, then 825,000 Australians have defaults on their credit file. If we apply the 60% rule, then 495,000 Gen Yers have defaults on their credit file. Pure speculation, but one that bears thinking about when we look at why interest rate cuts have yet to make a significant impact amongst first home buyers.

    finance educationWhat can we do to prevent young people from finding themselves in arrears and with credit defaults?

    Paramount to prevention, is education. Education about the wider, philosophical issues of finances so they understand where credit fits in to society and to their own lives, as well as the ins and outs of taking on credit in Australia.

    This should begin in schools, and be upheld in the credit arena, by government and the media.

    Second to that, is education and insistence on credit reporting accuracy. With defaults almost ‘a dime a dozen’ in this age group, could consumers get blaze about the process the Creditor took in listing the default? Could accuracy take a back seat and defaults pile up on Australian credit reports without an understanding of what constitutes a lawful listing? Every Australian needs to know that mistakes can happen on credit reports.

    Likewise, bad credit can be listed on credit files unknowingly. We have a responsibility to check our credit report, as the onus on ensuring accuracy rests with the consumer. This can be done for free – but many Australians don’t know this.

    They probably also don’t know that a credit listing should be tested against the appropriate legislation for its validity and its accuracy. The process of dispute is not easy, but Creditors should be called to account for any inaccuracy. Australians should also know Creditors have a legal obligation to remove a listing which was placed incorrectly.

    Changes for the better are coming in Australian credit reporting particularly around correction of credit reporting mistakes, but education is key for every credit active individual to make best use of these changes, aware of the action they need to take to ensure their rights are upheld.

    As the emerging generation into the housing market, Gen Y is at the forefront of this shift in psyche. Let’s hope they embrace it, and insist on changes that will benefit their generation into the future.

  • Found your special someone this Valentine’s Day? 7 tips for joining finances

    Valentine's DayHappy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers out there!  If you are one of the lucky ones that has found that right person for you, then you may be looking at joining finances – perhaps moving in together, or taking the plunge and buying a home together. Before you do, read my 10 tips to protect your credit file when you are joining finances. Unfortunately love isn’t enough to ensure our ideas about money are always going to match up. If they don’t – make sure your credit file – your good name stays intact – even if the relationship doesn’t.

    By Graham Doessel, Founder and CEO of MyCRA Credit Rating Repair and www.fixmybadcredit.com.au.

    1. Take off the rose-coloured glasses.

    Yes, cupid may have got you good. This may be the best person you’ve ever known. But that doesn’t mean they are perfect. No, really it doesn’t! Being in love and in particular new love can be the best feeling in the world. But let’s be honest, it’s not the most practical of states to be in. Sometimes our standards go out the window and we lose ourselves in the process of adding to our ‘relationship’ and creating an ‘us’. Before you join your finances, take off the rose-coloured glasses for just a minute, and put some real thought into how you are going to make the financial relationship work. With Relationships Australia identifying conflict over money as one of the top causes of arguments and relationship breakdowns in Australia, it makes sense doesn’t it?

    2. What’s their history?

    People will do what they’ve always done. You need to know of any skeletons in their closet that may impact your relationship and your credit file. Have a frank and open discussion about the financial decisions you’ve both made in your past.

    If you are joining finances, perhaps entering a mortgage, or even just moving in together and putting the Electricity and Gas on, effectively what you are doing is joining credit history. You need to know if their credit history up till now is clear.

    It might be worth getting a copy of each other’s credit files (you can request a free copy of your credit file and a report will be mailed to you within 10 working days). If there are adverse listings, they will impact your ability to obtain credit together for between 5 and 7 years depending on the listing type. If something on either credit file is amiss or incorrect – it is probably a good time to look at disputing it. Credit listings such as defaults, Judgments, Writs or Clear-Outs can all be removed if it can be proven that the listing was placed unlawfully.

    3. What’s their money mindset?

    Knowing their credit history should give you a good indication of how your prospective partner views money. So will knowing what debts they currently have. It will give you an indication of how they feel about money, and how much debt they consider normal to handle. You can also talk about paying bills. Do they always pay them on time? If not, why not?

    Some of us are great with money and some of us aren’t. If one of each money type get together the potential for both people to be financially damaged is greatly increased. As credit rating repairers, every day we meet people who need help with fixing credit rating issues due to no fault of their own really, but they have fallen under the financial shortcomings of a partner.

    One partner can end up with a bad credit score, simply because the other person on the account has not made repayments to the account. Often people are unaware their partner is generating defaults on their credit rating until it is too late. They apply for credit in their own right and are unable to proceed due to debts and bad credit their partner has initiated. The relationship may even have ended years ago.

    4. Do your financial goals match?

    Does one of you envision you both quitting your jobs in a couple of years to go travelling while the other has been saving for their own home? Is one’s greatest goal to pay back the 3 credit cards they’ve maxed out, while the other has plans to be debt free by the age of 40? If you establish some differences in what you want out of life, talk about whether there can be a compromise. You must identify how important each goal is and decide whether you really should be entering into a financial relationship at this stage. If your differences financially are too great – perhaps you can work out a way to still be together, but keep your finances (and credit files) separate unless your goals change.

    5. Identify needs and wants.

    If you decide you want the same things out of life, it might be a good idea to agree on financial priorities, so you don’t blow out all of your good intentions buying things you don’t really need. This could reduce your fights about money and ensure you’re both really on the same page. For instance, if you decide the most important thing is to save for your own home – you can agree that the new car, the expensive dinners and the designer wardrobe are only wants and can be put off until you reach your ultimate goal.

    6. Make a joint money plan.

    It may be a good idea to make a budget plan for you both to stick to, particularly if you have made a big credit purchase like a mortgage, car or business loan. There are a number of great free websites – ASIC’s Money Smart Website is a good place to start. You can decide who is paying bills, how they are going to be paid on time, where the money is coming from, how you are going to save and what money you will have left over for luxuries. If you don’t end up being the person in charge of paying bills – that doesn’t mean you can bury your head in the sand about your finances. Check the accounts every now and then. If there are any problems or your partner has missed payments – you’ll both want to know about it before your credit file is defaulted.

    7. Leave emotion out of it.

    During your financial relationship, things can go wrong – arguments can still occur despite your best efforts to prevent them. When it comes to money, agree for your disagreements to remain business-like. That way you can always keep a dialogue about money and there are no heated emotions attached to your discussions.

    Likewise, if the relationship should turn sour you are still able to separate love and money. There may be less likelihood of post-relationship revenge purchases impacting your credit file. If you do break up and you have joint credit, notify your Creditors that you are no longer together. Make sure you both get separate statements and endeavour to separate credit files (by dissolving joint credit) as quickly as possible in order to keep control over your own credit history and keep your credit file clear.

    If you haven’t been lucky in love, and your partner has left you with a bad credit rating, MyCRA Credit Rating Repair may be able to help. Contact a Credit Repair Advisor on 1300 667 218 for more information and to determine whether you may be suitable for credit repair.

  • Know the credit file risks before co-financing with a sibling

    siblings co-financingMedia Release

    Know the credit file risks before co-financing with a sibling.

    1 February 2013

    Real estate agents have recently reported an increase in siblings co-financing on homes in order to break into the property market, but this has a consumer advocate for accurate credit reporting concerned that some siblings could be getting financially involved without understanding the full implications for their future.

    CEO of MyCRA Credit Rating Repair, Graham Doessel says real risks can arise when anyone co-finances, for both their relationship and their credit rating.

    “I understand it is hard for young people to get a toe in the property market, but it is so important for them to understand, when you co-finance, you must trust your personal credit rating to your sibling for the life of the agreement,” Mr Doessel says.

    Real estate agents say brothers and sisters purchasing together now make up 10 per cent of traffic at open houses and inspections.

    The trend, which has grown in the last three months, allows buyers to afford mortgages that would otherwise be beyond their reach on a single-income.

    “It is how they’re affording to break into the property market,” agent Silvia Vitale of Laing + Simmons Potts Point told the Sunday Telegraph this week.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][i]

    But Gold Coast mortgage broker, Heather Nyssen, recently discouraged the trend, saying that siblings are usually quite young when they enter the financial partnership, and due to changes in circumstances can end up restricted by the obligation in later years.

    “In some cases they buy it so one or other can live in it, or they buy as an investment property, but they often end up in a bad position,” she told Australian Broker on Thursday.[ii]

    Mr Doessel agrees “Not only can the obligation restrict financial decisions in the future, but there is the potential for something to go wrong which sees both credit files defaulted if one sibling makes a mistake.”

    He says if repayments on any accounts linked to the property are not made on time, both parties could be held responsible and defaulted or a late payment notation listed on both credit files accordingly.

    “Rates, energy and of course finance repayments need to be paid on time every time to avoid a late payment notation on your credit file, and paid within 60 days to avoid a default listing,” he says.

    Defaults remain on a person’s credit file for five years, and late payment notations for two years.

    “If you have a default listing it can be difficult to get additional finance, a credit card, or even a mobile phone plan. If you have too many late payment notations against your name, it may also weigh negatively on your ability to obtain credit,” Mr Doessel says.

    He recommends those siblings wanting to co-finance on a property take these things into consideration:

    1. Know about your sibling’s credit history. If your sibling has financial skeletons in the closet, you should be wary about leaving your credit rating at risk. It would be a good idea to order a copy of your credit rating (your credit report) to make sure each of you is fully aware of the other’s financial history.

    2. Ask what debts they currently have. This will give you an indication of how your brother or sister feel about money, and how much debt they consider normal to handle.

    3. Talk about paying bills. Do they always pay them on time? If not, why not? This will give you a good indication of how important they view credit repayments.

    4. Ask what their financial goals are for the future. Do they match yours? If you intend to hold on to the property whilst your sibling wants to sell in a few years to repurchase, are you prepared to pay them out? Will anyone be living in the property? How will you divide expenses on the property?

    5. Get all agreements in writing. Consider getting a solicitor involved to draft up a formal agreement. You may be family, but in 5 or 10 years your responsibilities and needs may have changed and you need to know what your legal rights and obligations are.

    6. Leave emotion out of it. As much as you may love your sibling – arguments can occur – particularly when money is involved. If the financial relationship is ‘strictly business’, it may be easier to separate the property from all other credit the individuals may possess. This is especially true if the property is purely an investment and neither sibling is living in the property.

  • Miss a bill payment by one day and risk your credit rating: New Privacy Laws passed today.

    Media Release

    Miss a bill payment by one day and risk your credit rating: New Privacy Laws passed today.

    29 November 2012

    [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][UPDATE: Listen to the with Privacy Commissioner, Mr Timothy Pilgrim and Graham Doessel on News Talk 4Bc ]

    The credit history of Australian consumers is about to go under the microscope following the passing in Parliament today of amendments to Australia’s Privacy laws, and a consumer advocate for accurate credit reporting says many consumers will not be prepared for the changes around credit reporting which are about to take place.

    CEO of MyCRA Credit Rating Repairs, Graham Doessel says most Australians won’t know that from December 2012, they need to make bill payments to licenced Creditors on time, every time to avoid having a late payment recorded against their name. He is calling for greater consumer education to avoid unfair and surprise bad credit.

    “Many people pay bills late, for a variety of reasons – this doesn’t necessarily mean they intend for the account to go into default. People who pay bills late often, by accident or otherwise need to be told that this habit could have a detrimental effect on their ability to obtain credit in the future.”

    Mr Doessel goes on to say “I believe the Government should do its best to ensure that every credit active individual knows about these important changes to credit reporting law prior to the reporting of repayment history on Australian credit files.”

    Amendments to Australia’s Privacy Act in the form of the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Bill 2012 – which includes major changes to Australia’s credit reporting laws were passed in Parliament today and come into effect from March 2014.

    Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim has also warned consumers that they need to prepare for the changes around credit reporting.

    “If a person misses making a payment from as early as December 2012, it will be able to be recorded on their credit record and may affect their ability to access credit in the future. People will not only need to be vigilant about paying their bills on time, they should also make sure that the information held by these organisations is correct. In most cases they can do this for free’,” Mr Pilgrim said in a statement to the media.[i]

    Mr Doessel reiterates the importance for every consumer to ensure their credit report reads accurately in the coming months.

    “There will be so much more information open to lenders now, and consumers should routinely check their credit file, to ensure there are no inconsistencies, and to generally be aware of what is being said about them on their credit report that could see them refused credit in the future,” he says.

    Every credit file holder is able to obtain a copy of their credit report for free every year from one or more of Australia’s credit reporting agencies – Veda Advantage, Dun and Bradstreet and Tasmanian Collection Services (if in Tasmania).

    A report will be mailed to them within 10 working days. Or for a fee to the credit reporting agencies, they can request an urgent copy.

    “It is the consumer’s responsibility to maintain the accuracy of their own credit file, and it will be more important than ever now. People should be encouraged to request a free credit report every year – regardless of whether or not they intend to apply for credit in the near future,” Mr Doessel says.

    If consumers find inaccurate information or inconsistent data on their credit report they do have the right to have that information rectified.

    Mr Doessel says whilst new laws covering credit corrections within the Privacy Amendments (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Bill 2012 are intended to make the process of disputing unfair or inconsistent entries easier, lack of knowledge of credit reporting legislation could still disadvantage the consumer.

    “As it currently stands, disputing an unfair credit listing is a bit like a battle between David and Goliath, with the consumer rarely holding enough knowledge of what constitutes an unlawful credit listing to be able to remove it from their credit file on their own. It will be interesting to see if this will change after the March 2014 deadline,” he says.
