First things first, it is possible for someone to repair their credit on their own, but other options are available to consumers such as financial and credit repair services.
Credit repair agencies work on behalf of their clients to dispute errors or their credit report, for a fee. These agencies can provide experience and vigilance to address negative credit marks. When the dispution process is started, it is very important to understand your rights as a consumer which is protected in these laws including but not limited to theβ¦
βοΈFair Credit Reporting Act
βοΈFair Debt Collection Practice Act
βοΈEqual Credit Opportunity Act
βοΈTruth in Lending Act
βοΈFair Credit Billing Act
These laws include restrictions on when and how debt collectors can attempt to collect from you, how information must be legally filed on your report, how long things can remain on your report and so much more.
This this why it is important to have experts handle your credit restoration process. It is a very overwhelming and long journey, so just be patient.
This process can also includes identify theft recovery, personal finance coaching, budgeting, debt pay-off, and savings plans.
Please understand that these services are a business and will charge you for their services. Not all businesses are out to get you, they just are a business. If your long term savings is greater than the fee, then the benefit of having experienced agents on your side is worth the cost to you and explore your options.
But⦠do your due diligence. Keep your eye out for scams. There are some signs to be aware of such as: requesting LARGE upfront payments, payments not handled through conventional means (demanding payment through cash, money order, or gift cards), encouragement to be untruthful on credit applications, or suggesting that you apply for a new social security number or Employer identification number.
