Credit Repair Scams

Credit Repair Scams







Erase Bad Debt !

Remove Negative Items From Your Credit Report



Youve probably seen these headlines and others just like it promising to clean up or fix bad credit. For someone who suffers from a bad or poor credit rating, these headlines are certainly an appealing offer.



Imagine finally being able to buy that new car, get debt collectors off your back, and enjoy a new found freedom from your past debts.



Sound to good to be true ? It probably is. Once you fall prey to the credit repair offer and pay the hefty fees involved to clean up your record, heres what happens:



1) The credit repair scam artist contacts the credit bureaus and reports that the negative information in your file is false.



2) The credit bureau removes this negative information from your report while they investigate the claim.



3) The scam artist will then show you the cleaned up version of your credit report and ta-da your credit history has been fixed !



But heres what the scammer doesnt tell or show you. After the credit bureau completes their investigation the negative information is placed back on your credit report.



Negative but accurate information cannot be removed from your credit profile. Only incorrect information can be removed.



Accurate information remains on your credit file for a period of 7 years from the time it is reported to the credit agencies; a bankruptcy appears for a 10 year period.



Many legitimate companies exist that can help you with your debt problems. But how do you spot a scam offer ? Easy, theyll ask you for their fees up front. By law, credit repair agencies cannot ask for payment until theyve provided the service they promised.



Additionally many states require that a credit repair service, whether they are for-profit or not-for-profit, must provide you with a detailed written contract, an explanation of your legal rights, and the opportunity to cancel any signed contract within 3 days.



Also, be aware that a credit repair offer could be an attempt to steal your identity by getting you to provide personal information such as a Social Security number, bank account and credit card account numbers.



Always make sure you know who you are dealing with before accepting any offer to help you repair your credit. Those who dont can have their credit ruined further and create more debt problems.
