A lot of people try to fix their credit but skip the very first step…
Cleaning up your personal information.
Your name, address, and job history matter more than you think.
When your report is messy, the bureaus link old accounts,
wrong accounts, and outdated information to you.
Here’s what I want everybody to understand:
If your personal info is dirty, your credit will stay dirty.
What to clean up: • Old addresses you no longer live at
• Misspelled names
• Old employers
• Duplicate names (like Jr/Sr or middle initials)
Why it matters:
• It disconnects negative accounts tied to old addresses
• It makes your disputes stronger
• It keeps your report organized for future approvals
• It reduces mismatches when lenders pull your score
This is the foundation of credit repair most people skip.
Before you try to fix anything else…Fix the personal information section first.
