Intriguing notion, isn’t it? What does Double Oh Seven could ever have to do with something as boring as credit repair? Unless there’s a potential threat hidden in credit repair services that could destroy economies all over the world, James Bond and credit repair can never be found in one sentence and actually make sense.
But I beg to differ.

Credit is a six letter word that is now more potent than the similarly popular term called “love”. It’s said that love can either make or break you. You’ll be happy – or unhappy? – to find out that credit possesses the same super powers too.

Credit has the ability to spell two important words for your mortgage or loan requests: Approved or Disapproved. And I hope I can assume that it’s the first word which holds most appeal to you. Because if it’s not then you’re on the wrong page.

If you’ve got bad credit or you’re worrying if you’re about to have such a reputation in the finance world, that’s when our James Bond strategy enters the picture. Most credit repair companies and credit repair self-help kits advise the same strategy for almost all kinds of customers. The only difference is on how they go about it. We’ll be assuming in this article that you feel you’ll be able to repair your own credit so simply purchase a credit repair kit. But when you realize what you’re supposed to do, you’re worried that you don’t have the guts to carry everything off.

And that’s when James Bond steps in to help. You have to imagine that you’re England’s most dangerous secret service agent. You have to pretend that as you go about each step, you’re simply donning a mask or a disguise. Don’t be self-conscious because they don’t see you. Instead, they’re seeing someone else. And the four important disguises you should practice on are the following:

Researcher – Don’t be self-conscious about asking for your own credit report, even knowing that pages of undesirable credit information will soon stare accusingly back at you. You are a researcher set on looking for information, that’s all.

CSI – It’s time to get nasty with those bad, bad men. Check the credit report for inaccuracies. Think of it as a badly written autopsy report, if you will. Justice is in your hands so do good.

Diplomat – Now that you’ve got the list, it’s time to go for the big guns. Negotiate with your creditors for extensions and other methods that can make your credit report a little bit more decent. Don’t be shy, don’t be afraid. Remember, James Bond is always fearless.

Human – Never forget that James Bond sometimes needs help too. So don’t be scared to ask for help from credit repair services if you really need to. No man, not even James Bond, is an island.
