I found out yesterday that CAG and National Recovery agency are trying to do the same for $122.00 from March. I don't know who or where this is from and will seek to dispute. Thanks for the contact information. Has anyone rec'd any updated information about this?

Not a good idea if you are not going to be able to pay it off before the low introductory rate is over with. You would be better off taking out a consolidation loan with a higher rate. You could then build up a payment history and increase your credit score.

These cards are okay as long as you pay them off before the low introductory rate expires, but if not, then you may owe more than you originally started out owing.

Do your homework and see what works best for you, everyones situation is different.

There are mistakes and perhaps a few things that are correct. All were based on emergency surgery I had with no health insurance. My story may be worse than some and better than others. Regardless, I need help getting it corrected

I think all credit repair is not a scam, Some credit repair will sometime scam but we must have to aware from scammers ,
Before joining credit repair program we must have to know that is this co. is scam or genuine.

It will keep you away from scammers.

Thanks you so much,

I don't think credit repair companies are 'always' a scam, but of course you have to be careful in choosing which companies are there for your best interest. A friend of mine introduced to me
a credit repair company.. I signed up with them back in 2004 when I really had a hard time qualifying for any loan. I had over 20 collections in my credit report. I didn't have a bank account ! in less than a year, I've noticed a major improvement in my credit as most negative items were gone. also, as I've shopped around, they were cheapest than most other companies... this company is definitely not a scam. They changed my life !!! I was always used to 500 FICO.. and I was really happy when it went up to 690 in 6 months !!
not bad, right ? Good thing about them is that they had great customer service, and their response were fast.

The Credit Repair Organizations Act prohibits making false claims about credit repair. It makes it a crime for companies to collect credit repair fees from an individual prior to services being rendered. It requires that these companies inform you about your legal rights. It demands that a credit repair company provide information about your legal rights in a written contract, that also must detail the services the company will provide you with, the duration of the services, the timeline before results can be expected, the total cost of the repair and any guarantees that are offered. The written contract must also clearly state that an individual has three days to cancel the contract and services at no charge.
