The fastest way to repair credit is to use what's called Bank Round  RobinLet's say you got terrible credit you been bankrupt before and you want to repair your creditAs long as you have a good income and you can afford to do this step number one is to get $1000 together and bring it to let's say a big bank like Bank of AmericaGo see a consumer bank manager and tell them I ran into some serious trouble in a rebuilding my credit history I have $1000 that I like to put into a CD and borrow against for thousand dollars and pay it back as a consumer loan being reported to the credit bureauThe bank manager should have no problem using those security and they give you an approval usually quickly and they give you $1000.
