What the industry doesn’t tell you, and the questions people ask before they start

FAQ

Questions people ask before they start

Straight answers to the things you are probably wondering — and a couple we wish everyone asked.

Why don't you have a free trial?

Because it would wipe us out. Clients often see their first removals after the first letter goes out — sometimes within days. A free trial would mean footing the bill for the research, the drafting, and the R&D behind every letter, for a lot of people who would walk away as soon as the problem was fixed. The price we charge is what actually lets us keep doing this work for the clients who need more than one cycle. If you want to see the quality before you pay, every letter is fully visible in the review console before it ships.

Why does this cost more than other credit repair apps?

Because what you are buying is not the same thing. Cheaper apps send a few template letters to a few places and stop. We write the full package for every account and every situation — every letter the bureaus, collectors, creditors, CFPB and state AG actually need to see — along with the instructions for what to do with each one. They sell letters. We deliver results.

Do I need to opt out of data brokers or freeze my secondary bureaus first?

No. Do not do it. A lot of software tells you to strip your file down before you start so random data broker records do not show up. Our process actually works better when that noise is still in your file — it gives our letters more to anchor against. Leave the feeds on and leave the secondary bureaus unfrozen.

How is this different from apps claiming to be the "world's most advanced AI"?

Most of those apps are ChatGPT generating reworded template letters — the same old tricks in new words. The bureaus have had AI for years, with real budgets, and those reworded templates are the first thing their filters were trained to catch. Our AI is purpose-built and trained by ex-bureau employees, data scientists, and real hackers on how the actual bureau pipeline behaves. Different engine, different training, different result.

What if the bureaus already flagged me as a frivolous disputer?

That is one of the exact situations we built this for. The filter was trained on templates. Our letters are not templates — they are written cycle by cycle from your own account data, they carry the real Metro 2 labels and the scanner-level codes, and they invoke the specific statutes the bureaus are required by law to honor. Your file gets moved back into the queue where it always should have been.

Is this legal? Every tactic?

Yes. No fake identity-theft claims. No fabricated disputes. Every method comes from state and federal statute combined with insider knowledge of how the bureau and collector systems actually process compliance claims. When the rules are invoked precisely, the bureau's only options are to correct the reporting or accept a documented violation.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Flat monthly pricing, cancel whenever you want, your case data stays available to export for 30 days after cancellation.

Industry warning

What the industry gets away with when you are not looking

These are methods credit repair companies quietly use on their clients' files. Most people never find out until after the damage is done — and the damage is almost always on the client, not the company.

Fake identity-theft reports

They file a federal identity-theft report saying someone else opened the account — even when you did. It is a federal crime, punishable by up to five years in prison. The item disappears for a little while. Then it comes back. And the false police report stays on file, in your name.

Fabricated disputes

Claims you never signed the contract or never opened the account, even when the paperwork says you did. Same playbook as the fake ID-theft route. Same short-term result. Same legal exposure — on you, not on them.

Template flood

Blast every bureau with dozens of identical letters, month after month. The bureau's filter catches on in about two cycles and flags your file as a Frivolous Dispute Sender. After that, nothing they send for you gets read — and their whole strategy stops working.

Dispute without validation

They dispute an account for deletion but never actually ask the collector to prove the debt. The bureau comes back verified — with no real evidence — and the debt stays on your file. The account was never actually validated, it just looked like it.

Re-aging tricks

Dispute the same account enough times that the bureau quietly updates the last-activity date. The account stays on your file, just pushed back a little. The bureau knows what it is looking at. So does any new collector who picks up the account.

Acting on your behalf without disclosing it

CROs are legally required to tell the bureaus when they are acting on behalf of a client. Most do not. The bureaus recognize the pattern anyway, and letters from undisclosed third parties get treated differently from letters you send yourself.

Cease-and-desist as the whole plan

Works on one collector for about 30 days. Then the debt gets sold, a new collector picks it up, and you start over. The underlying account never changes. The client pays another month.

Hidden revenue streams

Selling your personal data to affiliated lenders. Upselling you into credit cards you do not need. Charging you $199 a month to send three letters a quarter. The numbers only add up on their side.

Did you know?

A few things the credit repair industry does not advertise

Most clients never find out. You should.

Filing a false identity-theft report is a federal crime

Punishable by up to five years in prison. A lot of credit repair companies still quietly do this on their clients' files to force short-term deletions. When the items come back, the police report stays — in your name.

Credit repair specialists are supposed to be licensed in a lot of states

A surprising number of the people actually fielding your disputes have no license, no bond, and no verifiable training.

Credit repair for hire is illegal in some states entirely

Georgia has banned it. Several other states restrict who can do it, how they can charge, and what they can promise. The company taking your money may not even be allowed to take it.

The Frivolous Dispute Sender list is not public

The bureaus will never tell you you are on it. You only find out the next time every dispute you send comes back marked frivolous, with no reinvestigation.

The credit bureaus are not federal agencies

Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are private companies. The rules they have to follow come from federal law, not from their own policies. That distinction is the whole reason disputes work when they are written correctly.

Every CFPB complaint is public record

The bureaus see them, the collectors see them, and anyone can pull them from the public database. That is also why they work — public pressure is part of the point.
