The middle ground: "There are legal ways to fix your credit."
(Page 2 of 2)
Run the risk of being scammed or wait years for your credit to fix itself. Neither sounds like a good option. Luckily, if you need to fix your credit there's a third route: legal credit repair. Your right to fix your credit is legally protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other federal legislation. Among other things, these laws entitle you to free or reasonably priced copies of your credit report; they set a maximum time that negative items can remain in your files; and probably most importantly, set strict guidelines for credit bureaus when it comes to handling disputes.
Credit bureaus are legally obligated to verify disputed items, and if you feel that a negative item on your credit report is inaccurate and shouldn't be there, you have the right to request verification. If the item cannot be verified with the creditor who placed it there, it has to be removed. This is one of the most powerful tools in legal credit repair, and an option that may be available to you.
When you need to fix your credit, it's important to remember two things: 1) Disreputable companies promising quick fixes still abound, so be on the alert for scams. 2) The statement that it's impossible to repair your credit is FALSE. With this in mind, remember that there are other options to simply waiting for your credit to fix itself. The law protects your right as a consumer to dispute negative items on your credit report, and if they are inaccurate or unverifiable, have them corrected or removed.
Credit Repair is challenging, so if you're not sure where to start, Lexington Law may be able to help. Lexington Law's credit repair services have assisted clients with the removal of millions of questionable negative items from their credit reports. To learn more about credit repair and whether or not it may be right for you, Lexington Law offers a free credit consultation.
