49: Do you know how to repair credit?
Credit repair companies must provide this in a published contract that also spells out out just what functions are to be executed, how long it will take to achieve answers, the total price, and some warranties that are provided. Under the law, these contracts too must explain that consumers have three days to invalidate at no more charge. Credit repair clinics answer this by challenging every item in a credit file -- bad, good or indifferent -- with the desire of overwhelming the credit bureau into withdrawing information without verifying it. Credit bureaus are aware of this tactic and often dismiss these challenges on the ground that they are frivolous, a right credit bureaus have under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Credit repair companies are not allowed to compile any fees until after the agreed upon function has been performed. This legal philosophy is in place to protect you from a typical credit repair scam where a party charges a large upfront fee for service, often times in excess of $1000, and then vanish without doing anything to secure your credit.
