Do you really sue creditors and credit bureaus?

Yes. Where the facts support it, our independent licensed attorneys pursue FCRA and FDCPA claims against bureaus, furnishers, and collectors. Most credit-repair companies are FTC-restricted to dispute letters only — they cannot file lawsuits. Outcomes and any client recovery vary case by case.

How is the free TransUnion FICO® 4 different from my Credit Karma score?

Credit Karma reports VantageScore 3.0; banking apps usually display FICO 8. Mortgage underwriters pull a different model — FICO 4 from TransUnion (plus FICO 2 and FICO 5 from the other bureaus). The numbers can differ by 30-80 points. We give you the real mortgage FICO for free, soft pull only, no credit card.

How does $99.95/month compare to Lexington Law and Credit Saint?

Lexington Law runs $99.95–$139.95 and Credit Saint $79.99–$119.99 — for dispute letters only. At $99.95 you also get attorney lawsuit pursuit, settlement money recovery, and a free TU FICO® 4 mortgage score. And this August, founders get $50 off their first month — $90 off with a referral code.

What's included in the members portal?

Budget Planner with bill due-date reminders, real-time Dispute Tracker, DIY Kit with attorney-grade dispute templates (coming soon), 13-section Credit Education library, free TU FICO® 4 score, and 1:1 advisor access. All included with the $99.95 plan.

How does the Realty1Solutions partnership work?

Founder Robert Wilkins is a Licensed Realtor (#221716). When you finish credit education with us, the same team can help you find a home through Realty1Solutions and earn a $500 closing credit. One stack: fix credit → buy home.

Inaccurate Information disputes

Misreported account statuses or incorrect balances can severely affect credit scores. We identify and dispute these errors with credit bureaus and data furnishers to get them corrected or removed.

Failure to Conduct a Proper Dispute Investigation

If a credit reporting agency fails to adequately investigate a dispute, consumers may be entitled to damages under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our attorney-backed services help pursue these claims.

Incorrect data reporting by furnishers can lead to claims for actual and statutory damages. Our team works to identify furnisher violations and, where the facts support it, pursue appropriate remedies.
