(2) I would view my credit report and dispute all errors (3) Negotiate with creditors to erase the debt, settle for a lower amount, get everything the creditor agreed upon in writing before payment was made (4) keep all receipt, note dates and time and file for seven to ten years. (5) Check credit limits that are current versus what they actually are. (5) Keep at least two credit card in great standing.

...CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND BAD DEBT CONTROLLING Case: ANZ Vietnam LAHTI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Degree program in International Business Thesis Spring 2013 Minh Thong To Lahti University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in International Business MINH THONG, TO Credit risk management and bad debt controlling Case: ANZ Vietnam Bachelor’s Thesis in International Business, 53 pages, 3 pages of appendices Spring 2013 ABSTRACT It can be seen that the Vietnamese economy in the first decade of the 21st century has a significant development in the banking sector. Commercial banks represent a big role in this development. The banks’ capital rose rapidly and became an important factor in Vietnamese economic growth. However, a negative side always follows the result of any growth. Expanding operation leads to debt rate increase in most commercial banks. Especially bad debts rate rose rapidly. Bad debts became a serious problem for the Vietnamese economy. When the amount of bad debts increases to a particular point, it will hinder the development as well as the operations of the banks. Due to this issue, controlling the bad debt rate is hard work for all commercial banks. There is no model of solution for all banks. According to specific characteristic of each bank, specific solutions to control bad debt rate are provided. However, those solutions seem to be not as effective as expected due to many reasons. When Vietnam became an official member of the World Trade...

...How To Prepare and Present a Successful Business Funding Request EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS CAPITAL Successful businesses are well planned and well capitalized. Being well capitalized means having the ability to access capital when your business needs it. Being well planned is the first step towards being well capitalized. The Cost of Capital I have watched many entrepreneurs lose valuable opportunities because they thought the cost of capital was too high. They spent too much time negotiating over the cost of the money, while their window of opportunity closed. The cost of capital should only be a consideration of the function of losses sustained by not having it. Simply put, if it costs you one dollar in order to make two, are you ahead or behind? What this book will do for you The objectives of this book are to help you • Analyze your market, the competition, and your financials, • Identify your strengths, weaknesses, and strategies, • Establish how much money you will need and when, • Determine the type of capital you will most likely qualify for, • Define what information you need to present to Lenders or Investors, • Package your request for your best chance of success, • Establish the format and flow of your presentation, • Direct you to the Funding Sources that offer exactly what you need, (If you don't know where to send your request, what is the point of all this?) Libraries and bookstores are full of financial "How To Books" and I highly recommend you read as many as...
