Credit Repair - HisCredit.com

Negative information in your credit report can not legally be changed within seven years. The only things that can be changed are false information and items that are older than seven years, or ten due to bankruptcy.

Things to watch out for when choosing a credit repair company:

A company that doesn’t care about industry rules and regulations.

One that claims to remove bad credit history.

A company that does not inform you as to what you can do legally for free.

One that charges you before they have done anything to repair your credit.

A company that discourages you from contacting credit bureaus.

One that withholds written documentation of your contract.

Remember these are things that you don’t want your credit repair company to do.
