When it comes to credit repair timing is very important, and your timeline will affect the specific recommendations that we offer. Certain credit rebuilding strategies, as important as they are, may not be suitable for you if your time-frame is too short. We will make sure to provide time-appropriate guidance that will work for you.
A credit repair company will help identify errors on your credit report, provide score optimization guidance, and manage the dispute process. But there is more than meets the eye.
Credit repair is a step-by-step process. The credit bureaus are allowed a month to complete disputes, and many of the credit score tips we offer take time to work, but there is good news too. Also, it depends on the type, amount, and the creditors that own the debts on your credit report.
