What Does Credit Report Repair Fix on My Credit Reports?

Credit report repair can fix negative, inaccurate information and other misleading or inaccurate problems on your credit reports, which in turn improves your credit score and credit history. A late payment, charge-off, bankruptcy, tax lien, collections, and any other negative listing can devastate your credit reports and hurt your credit score by hundreds of points.

Credit repair works to remove negative information that is investigated and found by the credit bureaus to be incorrect, inaccurate, misleading, unverifiable, or outside of statutory limitations.

Credit Repair FAQ - The Rest of the Story...

The three primary credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, Transunion) each update billions of pieces of credit information every month. With so much information coming in, credit report mistakes are inevitable: new reporting errors appear on credit reports daily.

Unfortunately, these reporting errors can damage your credit report and lower your credit scores. Credit repair helps fix and clean up these credit report issues to restore the more accurate, positive credit history that you deserve.

As quick examples of "credit repair problems" we've dealt with, consider a medical bill, where insurance covered it, or was supposed to - but on your reports it shows as unpaid. Or insurance shows as having paid, but the entry shows as late. Refinancing a home can also cause one lender to pay another off in full - sometimes showing as late also. Or take other life situations: a divorce or bankruptcy can cause information that should not be there to remain or be added to your credit reports, and at times, sharing a similar name or address can cause "blending" of credit report data.

Regardless of how or why mistakes and problems occur, credit report and credit score damage can happen from events such as reported late payments, unpaid medical bills, charge-off accounts, collection agency activity, judgments, tax liens, foreclosures, public records, bankruptcy, excessive or unsolicited credit inquiries, foreclosure, repossession, and so on.

All of the above may significantly and negatively impact your credit reports and thus your FICO and credit score. The good news is that credit repair can correct these problems and inaccuracies with a high rate of success, so that you "show" all the positive credit history, just as you deserve.

The bad news is that inaccurate reports with problems often go undetected. What began as a relatively minor late payment can go from a 30-day late to a 60, 90, and 120 late pay, then a charge-off, possibly collections, and can even become a judgment or public record.

Whether you change your address and miss some mail, "inherit" the bad credit of the previous resident at a given address, or simply don't recognize some or all of your credit issues (whether the charge was for $10 or $10,000) such misunderstandings and invalid report damage can cause stress and frustration when you are declined on a home mortgage, vehicle loan, or credit card offer.

If any such negative, invalid accounts appear on your credit, no matter the reason (not recognized, not yours, mistake, inaccurate, misleading) if you have "bad credit" without just cause, credit report repair can help fix these problems. Because they occur so frequently, and because such negative listings are so damaging to your credit score, credit repair is essential to ensure that your credit history accurately represents you.

That's why we advise consumers to check their credit reports regularly. If you believe you have credit score damage from inaccurate data, we're here to help fix negative credit report information.
