Credit Repair Scams: What Consumers Should Know Unfortunately, credit repair scams exist—and they often target people who need help the most. Knowing the warning signs can protect you from losing money and damaging your credit further. Watch out for companies that:
Promise to remove all negative items or guarantee a specific credit score
Demand full payment before any services are performed
Advise you to dispute accurate information or create a “new credit identity”
Tell you to stop communicating with creditors or credit bureaus
Refuse to explain your legal rights under the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA)
Lack a written contract outlining services, costs, and cancellation rights
Red flags to avoid:
Claims of “instant” or “overnight” credit repair
Pressure tactics or limited-time offers
No physical address, unclear ownership, or no customer support access
Instructions that could be illegal or deceptive
How to Choose a Legitimate Credit Repair Company A reputable credit repair service will:
Follow the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
Never charge upfront fees for services not yet performed
Provide clear, written disclosures and contracts
Focus only on disputing inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable information
Educate you on your consumer rights and long-term credit health
