If you have a tax lien on your credit report, you should take immediate action to remove it. This is a very bad mark and will lower your score considerably.

The first step is to request validation from the bureaus. This is done through sending a dispute letter directly to each.

It is not uncommon for wrong information to be reported on your report. This is because mistakes do happen and it is as easy as dialing a wrong phone number.

Once your letter is received an investigation will occur. The bureaus will contact the government and ask them to verify your debt. If it is verified you are going to have to make payment to remove it from your report.

It may be in your best interest to talk with a tax negotiator to work out a settlement with the government. You can often pay a reduced amount, and once paid you can remove it from your report.

A tax lien can be collected upon for 10 years, and will stay on your report for 7 years once it is paid. If not paid then you can be reporting a tax lien on your report for a considerable amount of time.

Upon payment you should wait around 3 months and then send another dispute letter to the bureaus asking for validation. We have learned that once the government has received payment they often will ignore a bureaus request for validation.

This means your tax lien will not be verified and the bureau will erase it from your report. However if this mark is incorrect to start with you can demand proof that the account is yours, and send any documentation you have to prove your side.

Repayment

The state and federal government are willing to negotiate and settle on a reduced payment. It is called an OIC (offer in compromise), this just means that the government is accepting partial payment.

The government will look at; your ability to repay, your income, your assets, and what they expect to recover. Additionally it will help your chances of acceptance, if you attach a letter showing financial hardship.

It may be in your interest to hire a tax negotiator to help with this. However you do not have to just live with this mark on your report.

In sum, take action today and get this lien off your report. It will be hard to be approved for credit with decent terms as long as this mark is on your credit. Don’t just wait seven years.

Today credit cards are all the rage. Everyone has one. No one pays cash for anything anymore. Some people don’t even carry cash. Charging is the way to go. And the result? A lot of people drowning in credit card debt. The solution? Try using cash for a change.

When you apply for a credit card be sure you read carefully the terms and conditions. You might start out with an amazing rate. But don’t miss or payment or make a late payment. You might find that they double or even triple that rate of interest. Purchases made on a credit card that has interest rates nearing 30% are going to cost you a small fortune down the road.

Credit is not all bad. We all need credit at one time or another and you can’t establish good credit if you never use credit for anything. If you always pay cash how will creditors know that you are a good risk? So there is a balance to be had.

However, compounding interest makes credit card use a dangerous game. You need to be careful because before you know you it can rack up huge debts on multiple credit cards and they will just keep mounding month to month. It becomes a vicious cycle.

It may seem easy to buy everything on credit. But if you are buying things that will no longer have when it comes time to pay for the purchase what sense does that make. How ridiculous if you charged a meal on your credit card three months ago and you are still paying on it, plus interest. That food has been long gone and you are still in debt because of it.

An emergency card is good to have. It is very useful when the unexpected happens and there is no disposable cash to take care of it. So it is not necessary to ban all credit card use.

What about the other cards? Cut them up! As soon as the balance reaches zero, call the credit card company and cancel them. Be aware that the representative will try to entice you to stick around. They may even offer to up the credit limit. It’s a trap, so don’t fall for it.

There is a lot to be said for the old fashion way of doing things. If you want something pay cash for it. If you don’t have the cash save up until you do have it. If you can’t save up enough for it you probably didn’t need it anyway. There would be a lot less people in debt if everyone lived by those simple rules.

You may have heard about social networking or social media marketing. These are basically websites that you can use to give people information about your site and do so in a way that you can targeted traffic back to your site. The best way to learn this social marketing is to actually do this yourself on your site.

The first thing to do is to compose your article, your blog post, or your web page. You can use any number of free websites to create your content. This is the first thing that needs to happen before you’ll get the benefits of social networking for your site specifically. You can always start with other people’s websites or web pages, but typically you’ll get the most benefit by doing some of both.

You’ll need to setup new accounts because you most likely haven’t done this before. Start at socialmarker.com and get the new accounts setup by the recommendations they make there. These sites are typically very well respected with a high authority as it relates to how they’re judged by the search engines.

There are a few different components to these bookmarking sites that you’ll need to consider. The first thing that you’ll be prompted with is the title. Ideally this title is going to have your main keyword phrase in the title itself. However, the title should match the title of the blog post or article.

The description is another part of using socialmarker.com. Use this description as a strong call to action to get people to your website. You obviously don’t want to deceive people into visiting by promising them something that isn’t there, but make sure that in the description, you give a compelling reason for people to want to read more or find out more information.

The url or web address that you’re prompted for should be relatively self-explanetory. In any case, you need to make sure that you’re using the web address of the exact blog post instead of just the main domain name of the website.

Tags are also important because they are what you’ll use to get the individual “tag” pages ranked. These tag pages, especially using the long tail keywords or keyword phrases with little competition. This means that you can leverage the search engines to the point where you get not only your blog post ranked, but possibly several of your individual bookmark pages ranked including the tag pages.

These techniques are good ways to get rankings in the search engines. Obviously there are some things that make getting ranked in the search engines very valuable and if you can not only get your main website ranked, but get several of these secondary pages ranked that will ultimately allow you to dominate the search engines.
