Absolutely! Just like you could attempt a root canal on your own, you can also work
on fixing your
credit. However, some tasks are best handled by professionals. It's your right and
responsibility to
monitor and protect your credit, and there are laws, such as the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and the
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, that can guide you in disputing incorrect
information on your
credit report. If you prefer expert assistance, True Wealth Credit Repair is here to help,
with
professionals who work directly with the bureaus and are well-versed in these laws
every day!
Simply hoping for mistakes isn't an effective strategy. Credit bureaus and creditors
handle numerous
disputes every month and are well-prepared for a high volume of challenges. When we
dispute an item
on your behalf, we expect a response. Our process involves creating tailored,
well-researched
arguments for each dispute, which is why we are consistently recognized as a top
credit repair
agency by financial experts and industry leaders.
We don't rely solely on disputes! While traditional dispute methods are outdated and
less effective,
we take a more advanced approach to credit repair. Instead of using generic dispute
templates like
many other companies, we challenge the reportability of accounts by ensuring they
meet METRO2
compliance standards. This strategy is highly effective, addressing both accounts
with incorrect
information and those that, while accurate, fail to meet the necessary compliance
standards.
If applying for credit is included in your customized credit building plan, then
it’s fine to
proceed. If not, we advise against applying for credit while in the program.
Laws such as the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) and FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection
Practices Act)
grant you the right to ensure that the information on your credit reports is
accurate. If any
information does not properly reflect your actions as a consumer, you have the legal
right to
dispute and request the removal of any inaccuracies. These laws empower you to
challenge incorrect
items on your credit report with both the credit bureaus and your creditors.
True Wealth Credit Repair helps clients by identifying and addressing issues such as
inaccuracies, outdated
entries, misleading information, and unverifiable negative items on credit reports.
We also
challenge the compliance of accounts with METRO2 standards, ensuring they meet the
necessary
reporting requirements. This approach is effective not only for accounts with
incorrect data but
also for those that, while accurate, do not meet METRO2 compliance. Our successful
methods have
earned True Wealth Credit Repair recognition as a leading credit repair company.
Yes, it is essential. While we work on improving your credit history, it’s your
responsibility to
stay on top of your current bills. Adding new negative items to your credit report
will hinder the
progress we’re making together.
In rare instances, a negative item that has been deleted may be re-verified by a
creditor after the
deletion process is complete. If this happens, the Fair Credit Reporting Act
requires the credit
bureaus to notify you before re-adding the item to your credit report. While it is
uncommon for a
deleted item to reappear, it is still a possibility.
Paying your bills on time, whether they are revolving or installment accounts, helps
establish a
positive credit history. Additionally, we will recommend resources to further
support your
credit-building efforts.
A charge-off can stay on your credit report for up to seven years from the date of
the first missed
payment that led to default. Learn more about the steps to remove charge-offs from
your credit
report.
The length of time a bankruptcy stays on your credit report depends on the type,
with some lasting
up to 10 years. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) sets guidelines on how long
bankruptcies can be
reported.
True Wealth Credit Repair can help you identify which items should and shouldn’t be on your
credit report,
and provide strategies to potentially have inaccurately reported late payments
removed.
There are two main ways to remove a repossession from your credit report: disputing
its accuracy or
negotiating with the creditor for early removal. Learn more about how to effectively
remove
repossessions from your credit report.
You can request that a debt collector or creditor remove a collection entry, which
is often referred to as a goodwill request or pay-for-delete. However, it’s
important to get any agreement in writing. Keep in mind, there is no law requiring
that paying off a debt automatically removes it from your credit report.
A True Wealth Credit Repair expert can review your credit reports and discuss your credit
history to
identify which hard inquiries we may be able to help remove.
We are committed to actively removing inaccurate and negative information from
your credit report
using proven methods, including consumer protection laws, factual disputes, and
Metro-2 standards.
Additionally, we equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to sustain and
continue
improving your credit score.
Legal credit repair is a process that takes time. While some changes may appear
within the first
or second round of disputes, the full process typically takes between 3 to 12
months, depending on
your unique credit profile.
Credit monitoring is essential during the credit repair process. Without it, our
credit
specialists won’t be able to access your reports and scores on a monthly basis
to track progress
and make necessary updates.
