Like any other business, there are reputable companies and then there are the rip-off artists that give all the others a bad name. If you need the help of a reputable credit repair company check with the Ethical Credit Repair Alliance (ECRA) Consumer Watchdog http://www.ECRAonline.org

"The BBB says no one can remove negative information from your credit report if it's accurate and only time can undo the damage....." The BBB is either ignorant of the law or part of an outgoing campaign to keep consumers in confusion in behalf of the big banks, you know money talks, I can't believe ABC news can publish something like this without doing a necessary research. The law clearly says that only accurate, timely and .... VERIFIABLE negative information can stay in a consumer credit report. Please check The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 611(a)(5). If the bank choose to get rid of old delinquent records in order to save a few bucks the consumer has the right to get the listing removed, that's why credit repair works, only a couple of banks in this country keep records for 7 years but all of them want to report their delinquent accounts even when they know that there is no way to verify anything because they tossed the records years ago. The only thing they have to do to put all credit repair companies out of business is comply with the law. I don't think that is asking too much, isn't it? Carl Bennet bcrconsulting.us

As a member of BBB myself, I am also trying to stop folks from going to a credit repair clinic to get help, when everything that can be done, can be done yourself in about an hour. The real challenge lies in maintaining good credit and thats where a lot of folks miss the boat. You need to be educated in what areas affect credit scores and what are the best strategies to achieve the best scores. Once you know that, you can begin to put those practices into play immediately and start building great credit and incredible scores to go with it. If you're having a hard time paying all your bills right now, I've put together a free report that can help you deal with your creditors in hopes that the effects will not trickle down to your credit report, and make matters worse.
