Yes, we can guide you through the process of addressing identity theft. This includes helping dispute fraudulent accounts, working with credit bureaus to remove inaccuracies, and providing resources to secure your credit profile moving forward. 

The time frame to see results from credit repair can vary depending on your unique situation. Most clients start noticing changes in their credit report within 30 to 90 days after disputes are filed. However, credit repair is a process, and significant score improvements may take several months to achieve. It’s important to remember that this isn’t an overnight fix—patience and consistency are key to seeing lasting results

Our approach focuses on identifying discrepancies in credit reporting by placing the burden of proof on the credit bureaus. If the bureaus cannot verify the accuracy of the item, they are required to remove or correct it. This strategy has allowed us to successfully remove derogatory items from our clients' credit reports. In fact, studies show that 8 out of 10 credit reports contain significant errors, which gives us more opportunities to challenge and remove items that are incorrectly impacting your credit.

When we dispute and challenge inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable items on your credit report, we act on your behalf with the credit bureaus, creditors, or collection agencies. The bureaus are then required by law to investigate and respond within 30 days. During this process, we strategically rely on your consumer rights under federal law to place the burden of proof on the credit bureaus. If they cannot verify an item, they must either correct or remove it, give you a greater change on removing disputed item and improving your credit report. 

Yes, you can repair your own credit, but many people choose to hire a professional credit repair company due to the time, knowledge, and strategy required. Effective credit repair involves understanding consumer rights and federal laws, like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and crafting a strategic approach to disputes. Without the right knowledge, you risk making errors that could lower your score or cement negative items on your report for years. Professionals have the experience to navigate these complexities and work on your behalf to achieve better results. 

Once negative items are removed, your score may improve; however, it depends on your overall credit profile and the items that remain. While your credit score may not go up immediately once negative items are removed, your overall creditworthiness will certainly improve. Every negative item removed from your credit reports is a red flag removed to potential lenders. 

Yes, credit repair is 100% legal. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to ensure that the information on your credit reports is accurate, complete and verifiable. Credit repair is the process of correcting mistakes, outdated information, or unverifiable data that may be harming your credit score. Additionally, many individuals who have made past mistakes use credit repair as a legal way to get a fresh start and improve their financial standing.

Saving involves setting money aside for future use, typically in low-risk accounts, while investing involves purchasing assets like stocks, bonds, or real estate with the potential for higher returns over time but also carry more risk.  

The rule of 72 is a formula to estimate how long it will take for your savings or investments to double based on its rate of return. You divide 72 by the annual interest rate to determine the number of years it will take for your savings or investments to grow twofold. Banks typically offer rates of about 0.4%. Using the rule of 72, it would take 180 years for a $10,000 savings account to double. 

Compound interest is the interest earned on both the original principal and the accumulated interest from previous periods. It helps money grow faster over time, making it a key concept in both saving and investing strategies.
