Preguntas Frecuentes

What are the most common credit repair scams?

Credit repair scams often involve upfront fees, CPN sales, or promises to delete accurate negatives—all illegal under CROA. Scammers pocket cash without delivering, leaving you worse off.

How do I know if a credit repair company is legitimate?

Legit ones charge post-service, provide clear contracts, dispute only errors, and have clean BBB/CFPB records. No guarantees, no secrecy.

Can I fix my credit myself without paying anyone?

Absolutely—pull free reports, dispute errors online. Most resolve without help. Pay on time, cut utilization: scores rise 50-100 points in 3-6 months.

What happens if I use a CPN for credit repair?

It's fraud—CPNs are stolen SSNs. Expect denied credit, investigations, possible felony charges. Never worth it.

How long does legitimate credit repair take?

Disputes: 30-45 days per round. Full rebuild: 3-12 months with good habits. Accurate negatives linger 7-10 years.

Should I trust credit repair ads from influencers?

No—many are paid shills hiding scams. Always check CFPB complaints and state registries yourself.
