Erase Bad Credit
The ad claims, "Erase bad credit or reduce payment to your creditors!" What’s true and what’s hype?
No matter what the ad states, a poor credit history can’t be erased...but there are some things you can do.
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you can question an item in your credit file and your complaint must be investigated. However, the negative information will be removed only if an investigation determines it’s incorrect. A credit repair company, no matters what it claims, cannot compel the credit bureau to remove negative information from your file, if that information is accurate.
Some companies claim they will work with your creditors to consolidate your debts, or reduce the size of your monthly payments. Before you pay large sums of money to these companies, call our office for referral to non-profit counseling services that provide free or low-cost help.
The tips on this website should be considered food for thought only. Lendingtips.com is a clearinghouse of ideas, not a professional adviser. Before any important decision, please consult the appropriate professionals (lawyer, accountant, real estate agency, broker etc.).
