But it’s actually one of the best things you can think about–and, yes, it may help in a few very important ways.

Is credit repair worth it? Why?
To know whether credit repair is worth it, you just have to look at what your credit impacts. These days, it seems like it’s just about everything. When you start realizing how far it goes, it’s easy to do a little math. Not having ideal credit can cost you thousands and thousands of dollars over the course of a home or car loan. It can keep you from getting insurance coverage or even a job. It can make even everyday needs and decisions more difficult.
When you compare this to the confidence and assurance of feeling in control of your credit situation and the opportunities that brings, the value of credit repair can seem pretty priceless. Luckily, having the experts at BetterCredit.com working diligently to help you tackle your credit issues. It’s a pretty great value that may impact a lot of the things you value most.
Do you offer debt settlement?
BetterCredit.com focuses upon how your credit reports look. In other words, we work to help safeguard your financial reputation so that you can get the credit you deserve. On the other hand, debt settlement companies offer something very different. They negotiate with your creditors to create payment plans. Sadly, sometimes those debt negotiators can make your credit reports look even worse. Credit repair is unique. Rather than settling your debts, they work to help ensure that problematic negative items on your credit report are substantiated, relevant, accurate and reported fairly. And they work hard to help get them removed when those standards are not met.
With BetterCredit.com, the answer’s in the name. Our experts repair and help to defend your financial reputation and overall creditworthiness.
What are the associated costs with your services?
As valuable as the possibility of better credit is, the cost to start taking control of it is simple. Every situation is different however so we offer services to reflect your individual needs. There is a one-time charge of $25.99 to pull your credit report for you. There will never be any additional costs or fees – it’s that straightforward.

What is the Fair Credit Reporting Act and why was it created?
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) was written in 1970 as an amendment to the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The FCRA provides additional measures of consumer protection in the areas of fairness, accuracy, and privacy of the information collected by the credit bureaus. It also allows you to personally engage in credit repair and maintenance processes, verifying that the information in your credit report is correct.
What are the three credit bureaus?
A credit bureau – sometimes called a “consumer reporting agency” – is a business that collects relevant consumer information from creditors and courthouses, and then sells that information to interested parties such as potential lenders. Such information is sold in the form of a credit report. In the U.S., the three major credit bureaus are TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.
What is a charge off and how do I remove or fix it on my credit report?
When an account is unpaid for more than 180 days, a creditor usually writes off the debt as a loss on their financial statements. This is known as a charge off. Once a debt is deemed a charge off, it is either transferred to an in-house collections department or sold to a third-party collection agency who will likely contact you in attempt to recoup the balance.
