Credit repair has become an industry to itself over the last 5 or so years. With promises better credit and improved interest rates many so called credit repair companies charge a hefty fee and deliver very little in return. In fact, most costumers are often disillusioned when a credit repairer promises to improve and manage their credit but ultimately they often add to current debts and do nothing.
Before seeking the advice or services of a credit repair agency you should know the following:
If a company makes any claim to have the ability to erase or change your credit rating, run the other way. In truth there are no companies or agencies that have the authority to remove any valid information from your credit history, making their claims of providing a better score quickly very near to impossible.
The North American Consumer Credit Reporting Act stipulates that all information on your credit report/history remains valid for 7 years. During that time no one has the ability to remove or change it. Credit repair companies simply take your money and deliver no results as they legally cannot. Note if there is incorrect information on your report than you have the right to dispute it.
It is illegal for credit repair companies to charge a costumer before they can provide results. This includes down payment or payment of any kind. Before payment may be requested there has to be proof that the clients credit was better as a result of actions taken by the repair company.
Another fact is that is illegal for any credit repair agency Its advertise a claim that says that they can improve your credit score. They most first look at your credit history before making such a claim.
Keep in mind that fixing a poor credit score is a matter of time and making your payments on time. Dont be suckered into false ads and promises, youll just waste your money. Order your credit report, make sure everything is up to date and accurate, then pay your bills and all is well.
