Credit Repair Company - Are they Trustworthy?
July 23, 2008 on 3:23 am | In Finance |Many credit repair companies make bold claims to fix your credit report. They claim that no matter what the individual’s credit problems are, the company can fix them. Is this true?
No, fraudulent credit repair companies exist and take advantage of individuals with a low credit score. It is rumored that the fraudulent companies take millions of dollars from consumers annually.
This is done because when your credit is bad you are in a vulnerable position. You can pay high fees and interest or you fix your credit history.
Can results be guaranteed? No and when a potential credit repair company makes a guarantee this is a big red flag indicating that company to be fraudulent. I would not recommend hiring any company that makes any guarantees.
Some credit repair companies are legit and can be trusted. These companies will battle to have your negative listings removed and your credit repaired. They are usually more powerful in getting the credit bureaus to respond to a dispute. This is because they are familiar with the credit bureaus and the tactics the bureaus use to avoid investigations.
When searching for a credit repair company to hire look for refunds or warranties on results. It is also a good idea to spend a few minutes and find out what people that have used this company say about their results. This is a good indication of what you should expect.
Credit bureaus rarely investigate dispute requests because it costs the bureaus money. It also goes against the goal of the credit bureaus. This is to provide lenders with a measurable value on the likelihood of the individual repaying on the credit line.
If your fed up paying high interest for a mistake you made in the past, then you should repair your credit. Good credit repair companies can make the credit bureaus investigate disputes on your behalf. Lexington Law firm is an established and trusted credit repair company with thousands of satisfied customers.
