A A asked:


I remember hearing a while back that there’s some companies you pay that can raise your credit score.

I’ve heard its illegal to do but there’s companies that you can pay to raise your score. What is the deal with this? WHy is it illegal? How is it done?

They would have to commit fraud to raise your score and both fraud and an accessory to fraud are felonies.

The illegal part is promising people to raise it and charging them $$$$$$$ , then disappearing with the cash but the credit scores don’t change .

FICO and the credit agencies aren’t stupid and they have bazillion dollar computers tracking histories .
The fraud repair companies can’t fake out FICO but suckers pay them $$$$$$$$ anyway .

It is illegal to rip of suckers even if they are retarded enough to give them the $$$$$$$$$$ willingly .

its a scam dont fall for it.

1) pay off all debt
2) never close any old accounts like credit cards
3) get a pre paid card like accountnow.com they report to credit beauro & set up automatic bill pay.
4) if you will b using your credit for the home pplace all the bills in your name & pay them on time
5) check your fico score with equifax dispute neg remarks
write a letter to the collections and a contract 4 them to sign stating youll pay in full if they remove tge neg remarks. give it 30-60 days to clear

Сredit repair workеd fine to fix my credit. They disputed and removed lots of bad items from my credit report. I used this service – freecreditreport.sinfree.net
