Credit Repair is the process of ‘fixing’ a bad credit report that is broken, damaged, or inaccurate.
In actuality, credit repair may involve a variety of methods, to address a variety of problems, utilizing a variety of moral and legal tools, including federal statutes and federal laws designed to protect the consumer at large.
Credit Repair may involve something as simple as correcting the spelling of your name to challenging the validity of a reported trade line.
