Always clean up your credit report prior to making an application for a loan, mortgage or credit card. It isn't just necessary to rebuild your credit score for financial products, most insurers now use personal credit ratings to determine insurance premiums. Repairing your credit rating will ultimately reduce the cost of living.

Fix your credit report by correcting errors, reducing debt, paying punctually and optimizing revolving credit facilities. Although improving your credit can happen relatively quickly, if your problems are more serious, cleaning up your credit report will take longer.
