CREDIT RESTORATION FAQ
1. Is credit repair legal?
- Absolutely! You have rights. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which was set up by the FTC to protect consumers, gives you the right to dispute any item on a credit report. If that item cannot be verified it must be removed. The FCRA promotes accuracy, fairness and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. Simply put, it gives you as the consumer the right to know what is in your file. You can request and obtain all the information about your file with the various agencies and challenge any information that you believe is inaccurate. We work to spot discrepancies on your credit report. If your report contains inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information or illegally filed items, they must be removed and that’s where we come in! We do not offer any service that is a legal violation.
Here’s a Video to show how we do it!
