Comments and Analysis

Our experience with similar offers is that they advertise various credit services which they claim are designed to provide assistance to consumers with poor credit histories to improve their rating by removing negative items or creating a new credit file.
However, clients of these types of offers generally complain that their credit histories do not improve, that they are unable to contact the company making the offer, and ultimately that refunds for failing to provide the promised services are not provided.

By law, information stays on your credit report for seven to 10 years. Accurate negative information can only be removed by with cooperation of your creditors, and this usually involves paying all or some of the debt. If you believe your credit report contains erroneous information, you may dispute the entry by calling or writing the the credit reporting agency. While in dispute, the negative item may be removed temporarily from your report, however it will be added on again if determined to be valid.

According to California Law, it is unlawful for any entity offering to improve or repair your credit to charge fees in advance of performing those services, even if properly registred and bonded with the California Attorney General's Office.

For businesses outside of California, please check with the agency that regulates this industry.

Other Considerations

The company advertises on their website that they can restore and improve your credit rating with their programs. The company offers a credit program which includes consultation, credit profiling, and educational resources for an individual in the amount of $895.00 or individual and spouse in the amount of $1495.00. Expedited services can be purchased for an additional $200-$350.

In California, any company offering to assist you in modifying, correcting, or improving your credit is not permitted to take money in advance before performing services for any reason, even as a deposit. Also, services must be performed within six months and the contract must include a five-day cancellation clause. Failure to provide you with a cancellation notice may mean that your right to cancel exists until notification is received and expired.
