Legal Credit Repair

Legal credit repair involves enlisting a lawyer to help a debtor who has had false information reported on their financial reports, and is having difficulties getting the information removed. Inaccurate, misleading, and unverifiable information can sometimes mistakenly be placed on a consumer's credit report, resulting in a poor financial rating. A bad rating or score can keep a consumer from obtaining service with charge card companies, lending institutions, or even personal insurance. Credit repair attorneys are attorneys that specialize in the correction of reports and scores.

A lawyer's help may sometimes be necessary when consumers are making no advancements in getting false information off of their report. Credit repair attorneys offer assistance with legal strategies and can write letters to the creditors on the debtor's behalf and work to have negative information updated and incorrect information removed. This may be more difficult for a consumer to attempt on their own. A professional knows the ropes and how to handle such situations in a delicate manner.

Consumers should be aware of the facts about these help services, before seeking the aide of credit repair attorneys. No one can legally remove accurate and timely negative information from a report. Legally, however, consumers can request an investigation or reinvestigation of the facts and information in a file that they dispute as inaccurate or incomplete. Having the aid of a professional in this time consuming activity can be helpful, but is not necessary. Most anything an attorney can do for a legal credit repair, consumers can do.

There are fraudulent professionals out there that use illegal means in removing financial information from reports. The methods these companies use can get negative information off a report sometimes for a short while, but once an investigation is done, and the creditor reports that the information was correct, then it will be back on the reports again. Fraudulent credit repair attorneys claim to practice legal credit repair, but what actually occurs is that the information in dispute is removed from the report while that information is under investigation. Once the truth is discovered, the information will stand.

Improving one's report is for those who have actual false information on their reports. Anyone wanting to better a bad score should seek first to prove their ability to make payments on time by diligently working at debt reduction and timely bill paying. "I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause" (Job 5:8). Only if an error has occurred on a report will legal credit repair be necessary.
