Credit Scoring
Part IV: Credit Remediation
If you are in need of credit remediation, and especially if you live in an area where this is an overall problem within the population, you should seek to align yourself with a credible referral source for credit repair. While government web sites will suggest that self-help may be the best option, keep in mind that for the most part people lack discipline when it comes to spending and making payments. They are not likely to have the diligence to research and remedy their own credit problems.
The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit repair services, and they provide free information to help consumer’s spot, stop, and avoid businesses with fraudulent, deceptive, or unfair practices. Be familiar with the Credit Repair Organization Act http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/croa/croa.htm as you seek out a genuine ally in this area. Research their background and make sure this company will cast a good reflection on you when you refer your clients to them.
