What is credit repair?

Credit repair involves tackling any potentially damaging negative items that may be impacting your credit profile. When credit bureaus and creditors cannot verify the fairness, accuracy, and validity of these negative items, they are obligated by law to remove such entries. This action can lead to an improvement in one's credit standing.

Why use a credit repair company?

Credit repair companies possess the expertise and abilities to identify potential errors made by credit bureaus. Moreover, they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to address and resolve these issues efficiently. By entrusting credit issues to these companies, the repair process becomes more streamlined, preventing you from paying interest on erroneous charges. Additionally, these companies are well-versed in your rights as a debtor concerning creditors and credit bureaus, including legal entitlements that you may not be aware of. This valuable information can greatly benefit you and expedite your credit recovery journey.

What does a credit repair company do?

A credit repair company carefully examines your credit reports to identify inaccuracies and devise strategies for enhancing and elevating your credit score.

To achieve this, the company obtains your credit report from all three major credit bureaus, namely Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and meticulously scrutinizes the information to detect potential errors, such as wrongly attributed accounts, incorrect inquiries, and improperly recorded data. This comprehensive process entails verifying duplicate accounts and expired negative items, which typically requires several days to complete.

Once the analysis is complete, the company utilizes the gathered information to support disputes they initiate on your behalf. They submit relevant documentation to the three credit bureaus and work collaboratively with them to assess the validity of these errors and, if possible, remove them from your credit report.
