ABOUT OUR SERVICES
How do you restore bad credit?
We offer a complimentary assessment of whether or not we can help. If your reports contain information that is not reflective of your true credit worthiness, we let you know and set your expectations regarding what can be done to help.
We write the letters and conduct all the follow-up necessary. These letters request the credit bureaus to conduct investigations and make updates and deletions to your reports.
At the conclusion of the credit bureau’s investigation, a new copy of the credit report is sent to your home along with any deletions or improvements.
A disputed credit listing must be accurate and verifiable for it to remain on the
credit report. If the credit listings is only somewhat inaccurate, the credit
bureau may simply change the item to reflect the accurate status. Very often,
though, disputed credit items cannot be verified: the creditor either no longer
possesses the information or does not wish to go to the trouble of verifying it.
Also, the reinvestigation must be completed within 30 days or the listing must
be removed. For these reasons, properly disputed credit listings are removed
with remarkable frequency.
Each time an investigation is commenced the odds of deleting the negative increases!
How long does it take?
The progress of your case will depend on your participation (sending in credit
reports on a timely basis), the nature of your case, and the level of credit
bureau cooperation. If credit reports are received promptly, many clients see
exhilarating progress within the first 60 days.
How do you do this legally?
Although the credit bureaus would like to have you think otherwise, there is
absolutely nothing illegal about disputing items on your credit report. In fact,
it is your explicit right by law to do so. Credit report repair is as legal as pleading “not guilty” in a court of law.
Don’t be afraid any longer...The Law is on our side! It is entirely legal to dispute inaccurate or misleading credit entries. Waiting 7-10 years for derogatory information to naturally roll off your reports is a mistake.
Can an individual repair his or her own credit?
Disputing the credit report is easy. Getting results from the credit bureaus is
amazingly difficult, complex, and frustrating. Enlisting the service of a reputable and trusted professional is always a good idea and will safe you time and money in the long run.
What if deleted items reappear?
If a bureau intends to re-report an item, you must first be notified. As long as you inform your Credit Advocate of this, we will do everything possible to be proactive and preserve your credit report. We are by your side for an entire year for no extra charge.
Do I need to pay my bills?
If there are delinquent accounts appearing on your credit reports that have
not been paid off, the actual debt behind the listing remains the same even if
we delete the account from your credit report. If you don’t pay the debt, the
creditor or collection agency could always re-report the item. So removing
the listing without addressing the debt is only a temporary solution. Does paying my old bills and collections restore my credit?
You would think that would be true. But, again, the credit reporting system
just doesn’t work that way. Once you pay off an old collection or charge off, it merely updates the listing on your report. Many times it actually will lower your score. The good news is that we can help you settle those debts and save you a lot of money in the process. We will also make sure your credit score is protected or improved.
How do I know progress is made?
Corrected Credit reports will arrive first at your home and then you will forward
them to us. So, when we accomplish deletions and improvements, you will
see them first on your credit report. |
