How to Recognize Legitimate Credit Repair
The first warning sign of a rip-off is an upfront fee.
Many architects of scams target people who have a terrible credit history.
They promise these people that they are going to offer them an auto loan or even get home financing.
They also promise to facilitate application of jobs that require a high credit score.
Then these companies insist that these services should be paid for before they are rendered.
Many companies that are scams always withhold information concerning the rights that they have of dealing with credit problems of their clients.
These companies are good at creating the impression that they have the ability to contact credit bureaus and credit card companies.
You might therefore be easily fooled into believing that your credit problems are being handled from a legitimate point of view.
Another sign that tells you that the scam is in the offing is unrealistic promises.
The company should give information that sounds real.
If it does not, you have the right to demand who the generous financiers of these services are.
Another avenue that companies use to create scams is through advocating for creation of a new credit identity using your employer identification number in the place of the Social Security number.
The Social Security Number is the one that is usually associated with the credit that needs repair.
Don't fall into this trap no matter how creative it sounds.
Moreover, if the company which promises to repair your credit is pressurizing you to sign a contract, then you have to tread carefully.
Many companies that operate as scams know that if you read the contract carefully, you are going to discover the loopholes being used to create a scam out of an otherwise legitimate-appearing contract.
The responsibility of investigating the legitimacy of companies that supposedly handle the business of repairing credit rests solely with the buyers of these services.
Make sure that you are making informed choices that are not based on surreal promises and bloated expectations.
Sign the contract only when you are sure that the service promised will be offered within the limits of proper business practices.
