What we do

Restoration, step by careful step

Credit repair isn't magic — it's diligence. Here's where we put in the work for you.

Dispute inaccuracies

We review your reports from all three bureaus and challenge errors, outdated items, and unverifiable accounts on your behalf.

Rebuild your score

A personal action plan — utilization, payment strategy, and healthy new credit — designed around your real life and budget.

Monitor & protect

We keep watch as items update, track your progress month by month, and help you protect what you've rebuilt.

What we can help with

We dispute inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable items to have them corrected or removed.
We can also request removal of old addresses, old phone numbers, and old or married last names from your credit reports.

What are inquiries?

Each time you apply for a credit card, loan, or bank account, the lender checks your credit and an inquiry (hard pull) is added to your report. Too many inquiries can lower your score and make lenders hesitant to approve new credit. We dispute inquiries you did not authorize or that are inaccurate.

Review results and next round

After each round, we review the results with you before the next one.

The 30 to 45-day cycle

How long does it take?

Credit restoration is not a shortcut, and it does not happen overnight. It is done legally, and it takes time — on purpose.

The first round, and every round after it, takes about 30 to 45 days. That window gives investigations time to finish and your updated reports time to show.

Creditors typically report to the credit bureaus about once a month. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a credit bureau generally must investigate a dispute within 30 days of receiving it, and may take up to 45 days in some cases. We plan each round for about 30 to 45 days so those investigations can be completed, monthly updates can post, and we can review what changed before starting the next round.

→ Days 1–15

Review & dispute

We review your credit reports carefully. Then we dispute items that are inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable, or too old to be reported under the law.

→ Days 15–30

Investigations & follow-up

The bureaus investigate the disputes. We follow up, keep you informed, and stay on top of the process.

Days 30–45

Updated reports & next round

Updated reports come in. We review the results with you, keep teaching you how credit works, and help you build positive credit — then we plan the next 30 to 45-day round if one is needed.

Track your progress

Check your credit report once a month to follow your progress, see your score, and review items that were deleted. You can get a free report at AnnualCreditReport.com — free weekly reports are available there.

Done the legal way

Some promises to erase accurate items quickly are not legal. That is not how we work. We only dispute information that is inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable, or past the time it can legally stay on a report. Accurate, current, and verifiable information cannot be removed just because it is negative — most accurate negative items can stay for seven years, and a bankruptcy for ten. We will not create a new credit identity (sometimes called a CPN) or submit false information.

This work follows the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA).

Under CROA, you may cancel a contract for any reason within three business days after you sign it, at no charge. A credit repair company also may not charge you for a service before that service has been fully performed.

Results vary. No specific score increase is guaranteed, and no item is guaranteed to be removed. Some items may need more than one round, and accurate, timely items may stay on your report. We will always be honest with you about what we see.

Credit-building tip

Authorized user

Ask a trusted family member with a long-standing, well-paid credit card to add you as an authorized user. That card's history, including its age and on-time payments, can appear on your credit report and help raise your score.

Works best when the card is always paid on time with a low balance. Most major card issuers report authorized users, but not all.
