Since the credit bureau has made a large effort to convince you of other ways, there are many credit enhancement companies that are unchanged with most other services. As in all industries, there are companies that are not honest and damage the customers and credit repair industry as a whole.
For example, you may have 20 automotive technicians in your hometown. In most cases, these mechanisms 17-18 are honest and diligent people who want to live and provide the best service. Other two or three mechanics may not be honest and will take away your money while not giving the quality or quantity of services you paid ... borrowing your money lies You may be an out-and-out cheater on you. This does not mean that your town is a bad place to fix your car. It simply means that there are good companies, mediocre companies, and really bad businesses, just like any industry.
For credit repair, please do your homework. Are you a company choosing a nonprofit organization? Do you insist that you can delete accurate negative information? Do they provide consumer rights information? Are they claiming an unfair fee? Consumers need to consider these things when employing credit enhancement companies to solve their credit problems.
In order to better understand the credit repair business, industry background is necessary. Beginning in the mid-1970s, many immoral entrepreneurs realized that millions of Americans are hurting credit reporting rates and that these people get rid of all negative information from credit files I persuaded that I could do it.
Because the industry was not fully regulated, hundreds of credit repair companies have appeared numerous. Most of them were only disinterested and interested only in stealing money from easy-to-pay consumers. As a result, tens of millions of consumers had been exploited millions of dollars, but little was promised.
Federal and state authorities received numerous complaints about credit repair companies and consequently federal and state governments began to enact legislation regulating the credit repair industry. In addition, the credit repair company must contract with all customers in writing before the work commences, work in a non-profit organization, a licensed lawyer specializing in credit repair, or one of several other areas Outside the person, who is exempt from this requirement? In many states, credit repair companies need to register with the state attorney general and post a guaranteed bond.
Such regulation is still managed by an unauthorized credit repair company. A bit of this knowledge is used by the rogue credit repair service to perform the client's credit repair. Their purpose is to aim for removing as much negative information as possible, or to have the Big Three in the reconfirmation request (letter writing), which some requests slip and want to get rid of the negative information It is overwhelming.
It is important to note that all credit repair companies are not cheating. Some companies offer valuable services to those who make the whole process of credit restoration too boring and complicated, or who do not have time to learn about credit restoration. The credit repair service is just as valuable as the tax reporting service. The IRS insists that everyone can pay their own taxes, but most people hire others,
Many credit repair companies provide consumers with a "fresh start" of their credit history. These companies will try to obtain a second social security number or federal ID number for the customer. This is commonly referred to as "file separation". File separation is fraud and violates many federal and state laws. I strongly oppose consumers' abuse by companies and individuals who instruct fraud to get "clean" credit reports. In this scheme, the opportunity to hide disadvantageous credit information is promised by setting a new credit ID. Perhaps it seems perfect. In particular, as long as bankruptcy appears in your credit record, you are afraid that you can not gain any trust. Problem: "file separation" is illegal. If you use it, you can face a fine or prison sentence.
If you apply for bankruptcy you may receive a letter from a credit repair company that warns you that you can not get a credit card, personal loan, or other type of credit for 10 years. As a fee, the company promises to hide your bankruptcy and help you set a new credit ID to use when applying for credit. These companies are also advertising through classified advertisements, radio and television, and even the Internet.
If you subscribe to the service with a fee, you may be asked to apply for an employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS. An EIN similar to a social security number is usually used by companies to report financial information to IRS and social security management. After you receive your EIN, the credit repair service instructs you to use it instead of your social security number when applying for credit. Also instruct us to use the new mailing address and some credit inquiries.
In order to persuade you to establish a new credit ID, the credit repair service may make various false allegations. Listen carefully; these false allegations need to warn of the possibility of fraud, along with the pitch to get the new credit ID. You are probably listening:
Claim 1: You can not earn credits for 10 years (the period during which bankruptcy information remains in your credit record).
Each creditor has its own criteria to accept credit. You can refuse your application for bankruptcy, but another applicant may give you credit immediately after bankruptcy filing. And with new reliable payment records, chances of getting credit over time will likely be higher.
Claim 2: The company or "file separation" program is affiliated with the federal government.
The Federal Government does not support or cooperate with companies that provide such programs.
Claim 3: The 'file separation' program is legal.
It is a federal crime to issue a false statement against a loan or credit application. The credit repair company may advise you to do it. It is a federal crime to misrepresent your social security number. It is also a federal crime to obtain EIN from IRS under false pretext.
Furthermore, if you apply for credit using postal or phone calls and provide false information, you may be charged by mail or wire fraud. To make matters worse, file separation can cause civil fraud under many state laws.
All information in this article is provided to clarify "suspicious" items in your credit report. "Credit Repair" is a general term used to describe a systematic process for rehabilitating an individual's creditworthiness or financial credit reputation. This process generally involves obtaining a copy of an individual's credit report, reviewing the credit report for errors, omissions, and misleading information and requesting correction using a formal dispute slip It starts by doing. Many laws, regulations and practices dominate this process. In many cases, although not often, it may be achieved by individuals through individual efforts, but there are many organizations that sometimes help guide individuals through complex processes.
When finding incorrect, incorrect, obsolete entries in the credit report and calling attention of the credit bureau, you need to do one of two in law. Please correct it or delete it!
