Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS CREDIT REPAIR?
Credit repair is a service provided under the CROA act that allows credit repair service providers to assist consumers in the correction of items on their consumer credit reports that prove to be inaccurate, outdated or unverifiable.

WHAT IS CREDIT?
Credit is when you receive money, a good or a service, and you agree to pay for it in the future—usually with added interest. Nowadays, we use credit to buy lots of things, from houses and cars to groceries and clothing.
If you use it responsibly, credit can be a useful tool. But if you don’t, you’ll have to face some negative consequences that will make your life harder.
WILL IT HURT OR LOWER MY CREDIT SCORES TO GET MY CREDIT REPORTS?
We recommend a soft pull credit inquire from a third party of your choice (we assist with this step as needed) or a free annual credit report thru a government approved site like annualcreditreport.com. A soft inquiry will not affect your score since you are not asking for any type of credit line or loan and it’s only for personal purpose.
WHAT IS A GOOD CREDIT SCORE?
Generally speaking, there are five tiers of credit score. A good credit score is anything above 670.

- Ignoring questionable negative items on your report
HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT MY SCORE TO GO UP?
Because there are no two-credit reports that are exactly the same. This means that improvements we make on one person’s credit may or may not improve the score as much as another’s.Everyone’s results will vary, but you can be certain we will get you the best results possible.
