CREDIT REPAIR SCAMS 7 WARNING SIGNS TO WATCH
OUT FOR

• While looking for credit repair services in
  Atlanta GA, it is better to do a background check
  on the providers to ensure that you dont land
  into credit repair scams. Credit repair companies
  may sound like the only way to improve your
  credit score, and some may promise to get you
  back on track in just a few days or months. Be
  careful not to let desperation for better credit
  leave you vulnerable to scammers who will take
  advantage of your situation.

HERES HOW TO IDENTIFY A CREDIT REPAIR SCAM
1. If you are not provided with a copy of the
Consumer Credit File Rights Under the State and
Federal Law, then the credit repair firm may be a
scam. The credit file rights has information
about your rights to obtain a credit report and
also dispute any information that is inaccurate
on your credit report. A good credit repair firm
will also let you know that you can repair your
credit on your own.

• 2. A good credit repair company will give you a
  contract to go through before allowing you to
  sign it. You cannot agree to pay for services
  before knowing what the contract entails. Go
  through the contract and ensure that all the
  important information is included before
  committing. The information should include
  details of the services rendered, the charges,
  the duration of the services, and a statement of
  contract cancellation.
• 3. In case you are asked for payment before the
  commencement of the services, you are in the
  wrong place. The law prohibits charging upfront
  fees by credit repair firms, and by doing so,
  they are not only violating your rights but
  breaking the law as well.
• 4. A firm that assures you that it can clean your
  credit report by removing accurately reported
  information is a pure scam.
• 5. When the credit repair firm convinces you to
  create a new profile identity with a different
  social security number, know that it is a scheme
  and no good will come out of it. That will surely
  not help you regain your credit score.

• 6. Some firms will ask you to sign a form where
  you waive your rights under the CROA. It is a
  good thing that the CROA declares null and void
  any waivers of rights signed by credit repair
  companies.
• 7. If your credit repair provider does not
  consult with you regarding strategies for your
  credit, it probably is a scam. There is no way
  the company can tell you what they can do for
  your credit if they have no clue about your
  credit history. A good firm will inquire about
  your credit history and view your credit reports
  before discussing strategies.
• A good credit repair firm is credible, reputable,
  portrays longevity and has a money-back
  guarantee. Most credit repair companies will not
  charge you until they are sure that your credit
  score has improved through legal means. In your
  search, look for a firm that operatesunder the
  Credit Repair Organizations Act and will give you
  a copy of the Consumer Credit File Rights before
  working with you.
• They should also be able to offer you a contract
  that highlights your rights. If you discover that
  your rights have been violated by yourcredit
  repair provider, report the organization to the
  state attorney general and also send a complaint
  to organizations like the BetterBusiness Bureau,
  the Federal Trade Commission, and the Consumer
  Financial Protection Bureau.
