Legal Foundation

Credit Repair Is 100% Legal

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives you the right to dispute any item on your credit report. If it can't be verified within a reasonable time, it must be removed — even accurate items can sometimes be negotiated. You always have the right to dispute directly with the bureaus yourself, at no cost.
