Question 1

Is Credit Repair Legal?

Accepted Answer

Credit repair is 100% legal. It works because the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives consumers the right to dispute any item on their credit report. If an item cannot be verified within 30 days, it must be removed. Restore E-Squared Financial Solutions strictly adheres to the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA). CROA prohibits untrue or misleading representations and requires certain affirmative disclosures in the offering or sale of “credit repair” services. The Act bars companies offering credit repair services from demanding advance payment, requires that credit repair contracts be in writing and gives consumers certain contract cancellation rights.
