If you’re repairing your credit, avoid these mistakes they can slow or even reverse your progress: 1. Don’t run your credit or open new accounts – Hard inquiries can temporarily lower your score and delay your repair. 2. Don’t cancel your IdentityIQ account – You need it to monitor disputes, track progress, and catch errors early. 3. Don’t miss payments or add new collections – Late payments and new collections can undo months of work.
