What Does a Credit Repair Specialist Do?
  • The market today offers many different kinds of
    credit score improvement services, but one that
    is very effective and useful to almost anyone is
    that of the credit repair specialist. Credit
    repair specialists help prepare the appropriate
    letters to credit bureaus and debt collection
    agencies. Credit repair specialist help prepare
    the appropriate letters to credit bureaus and
    debt collection agencies. These letters should be
    specific to your credit information, not general
    dispute letters that can be ignored by credit
    bureaus.

Credit Repair Companies Vs Credit Repair
Specialists
  • Credit repair companies will attempt to help you
    fix your credit score by mailing letters on your
    behalf. These services are pretty common, and
    theyre often referred to as credit repair
    companies. When you search online for credit
    repair services or credit score improvement
    services, youll find numerous companies
    advertising their services for a fee. In many
    cases, these fees may be more than it costs to
    simply get your reports from each of the three
    major credit bureausEquifax, Experian, and
    TransUnionand handle everything yourself.
  • Credit repair companies may not even use
    professional letters or go through all of their
    stated procedures, which can make them less
    effective than doing it yourself with a little
    guidance from a credit repair specialist. This is
    why some credit specialists will charge an hourly
    rate rather than taking money upfront.
  • Since theres no upfront cost to get started,
    credit specialists can work on building
    relationships instead of spending time soliciting
    clients to secure payment. And when credit
    specialists dont have clients lined up in
    advance, theres no need for lengthy contracts
    that restrict what they say about their work in
    public forums like social media or online review
    sites. This allows them to build positive
    references in real-time without having to worry
    about hurting their business when something goes
    wrong later down the road.

How To Choose A Credit Repair Company Or Credit
Repair, Specialist
  • When disputing information with credit bureaus,
    you can request a correction by sending a letter
    detailing your dispute. The Fair Credit Reporting
    Act requires credit bureaus to respond in 30 days
    and investigate your dispute, but it is rare for
    them to respond in that time frame. It may take
    several months before you hear back from them, if
    at all. As long as they cannot validate any of
    your complaints with documentation proving that
    you owe money on an account or loans, they must
    delete or correct your account information. They
    are not allowed to add new information about
    negative marks unless there is verifiable proof.
  • Correcting your credit report will likely
    increase your score when reviewed by lenders.
    Credit repair specialists also specialize in
    helping consumers bring their credit scores up
    from low levels, such as 300s and 400s, to higher
    levels needed for loans. This might be something
    you want help with if you have been denied credit
    due to having poor credit scores.
  • If so, hiring a professional credit repair
    specialist may be worth considering. Now That You
    Know How Credit Repair Companies Work If you
    need help fixing your credit but do not want to
    pay a fee each month while awaiting results, look
    into these free tools which can help people fix
    their own damaged credit reports

Disputing Information With The Credit Bureaus
  • Like other third-party agencies, credit bureaus
    have their dispute process. The Fair Credit
    Reporting Act (FCRA) governs how credit bureaus
    should respond to disputes by consumers. In
    general, you can either mail letters to dispute
    information or contact them online. In all cases,
    your letter should include your name and address
    as well as a list of each account or listing you
    want to dispute and why you think it is
    inaccurate. Include documentation that supports
    your positionlike receipts or invoices showing
    what you paid for an accountif possible.
  • The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires credit
    bureaus to investigate disputed information
    within 30 days of receiving notice of its
    inaccuracy if they dont investigate it within
    that period, they must remove it from your
    report. If you are not satisfied with the results
    of their investigation, state law gives you up to
    60 days to file a formal complaint with them
    about how they handled your complaint.
  • If they still do not change or delete inaccurate
    information on your credit report, send copies of
    all correspondence related to your dispute
    directly to each credit bureaus customer service
    department with any supporting documents you wish
    to provide.

Dealing With Debt Collection Agencies
  • When dealing with debt collection agencies it is
    important to remember that they are likely not
    going to listen to your request. The best thing
    you can do is put together a packet of
    information that shows exactly what your credit
    score was before and after.
  • Explain why you were unable to pay on time if
    thats what happened, and how you have addressed
    those reasons by making an appropriate amount of
    payments each month. You should also keep
    documentation of all payments made as well as
    canceled checks or even receipts for purchases
    that were used to pay off debts.
  • If you do not dispute their claims with proof,
    then there is nothing they can do for you either
    way. However, there are times when doing so may
    help resolve issues quickly without any
    unnecessary headache for either party involved.
    There will always be a handful of cases where
    individuals face illegal collections practices,
    in which case seeking legal advice would be in
    order.
  • Individual identity theft occurs whenever someone
    obtains personal information to assume another
    persons identity in some way.
