Credit Repair

If you are being bothered by a creditor(s), your rights as a “debtor” are governed by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Most of the calls we receive are regarding the way in which a creditor may contact you. This area of the law is found in Section 805 of the Act.

Thinking about paying someone to help you with credit repair? “You” can perform the repairs just as easily as a company can. Yes, it’s convenient to hire someone to take care of it, but in the long run, it’s better for you to understand your rights and how to handle the repairs yourself. By law, you are entitled to a free credit report every year from all 3 credit bureaus. Here is a website where you can pull your credit report for all 3 credit bureaus: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/. You can only repair your report by using one of the reports from the credit reporting agencies themselves. You “can’t” use a credit report from your mortgage company or car dealer. If you have questions about credit reports or about credit repair, please contact our office.

If you don’t think you can fix things by yourself, call us, we might be able to help you out.
