The Steps to Follow
 
In just a few straightforward steps you can do a great deal to restore your Credit File, which is something you must do for your own financial good. Here's what you need to do:

•	Obtain a copy of your Credit File: This is really easy to do. Just visit www.mycreditfile.com.au and you can request a copy of your Credit File from Baycorp Advantage – the company that takes care of Credit Reports in Australia.
 
•	Read the Credit File carefully: This is very important because the outcome of your loan applications is based upon what is contained in this document. Check the file carefully to ensure there are no errors or omissions. That's right – you can be penalised if important details are not contained within your Credit File, so be meticulous in your examination of it. 
 
•	Write down any questions you have: Financial documents can be confusing to many people, so if you have any questions or need clarification about anything in your file, take notes on paper and make a phone call to Baycorp to seek answers. 
 
•	Report any mistakes: If you see on your file accounts or outstanding debts that you do not believe are yours, find out why they are listed on your report. This is very important. Raise the issue with Baycorp. More than likely there won't be anything to be alarmed about. Normally such entries are the result of the credit activity of a family member, however credit fraud is on the rise in Australia, so your vigilance is important.
 
•	Pay any outstanding debts reported on your Credit File: By committing to a plan that allows you to repay any of your outstanding debts, you are sending a really positive message to lenders. Your Credit File details your repayments, so your hard work will be noticed. By paying such debts, you are also improving your own money management skills.
