What is the best way to go about eliminating bad credit? Using a credit repair agency or doing it yourself?

Can you answer Randall M’s question about Credit Repair?:

I know that credit repair agency’s send out letters that let the credit agency’s know that there is negative items on your report that is wrong in one way or another, but I am wondering if it is better to do it myself or not.

Thanks.

    Credit Repair Feedback: Do it yourself, to many risks/costs involved with credit repair agencies.

    Credit Repair Feedback: You can do it yourself and save yourself several hundred dollars. It is a matter of sending dispute letters to all 3 of the credit reporting agencies and having them remove the negative items. They are, by law, obligated to investigate those disputed items. Sometimes the creditor does not get around to replying and the item gets removed. After you get a few of the negative items removed, you need to start establishing some positive credit - apply for a credit card or something.

    Credit Repair Feedback: Don’t pay anyone to do something you can do for free.
    Go to freeannualreport.com and look at your reports yourself.
