-- What are the advantages of using A Credit Advantage ? --
While there are many companies who brand themselves as
credit repair organizations, most of them lack the breath
of experience and expertise necessary to adequately
represent your dispute efforts. Some of the specific
advantages of using A Credit Advantage are:
We can dispute claims directly with creditors.
We enforce your rights under the various federal and state
credit laws.
On your behalf we can demand a creditor address and settle
debts.
We research and keep current our knowledge of consumer
laws and their changes, interpretations, and applicability
of those laws.
We govern ourselves according to the rules and principles
of professional conduct.

-- How much does bad credit cost? --
The cost of credit repair is small compared to the cost of
living with bad credit.
Below are a few examples of the cost of bad credit.
Auto Loan
If you are making vehicle payments, you are most likely
paying between $4,000 and $10,000 more over the course of
the loan just for having credit score issues. This added
interest shows up every month in a higher payment.
Example:
Car Loan
$23,000 Vehicle Financed for 5 Years

Home Loan
Damaged credit on a vehicle is nothing compared to the
effect of damaged credit on a home loan. A typical home
can cost between $180,000 and $300,000 more in interest of
the 30 year loan, if you are buying the home with damaged
credit. Example:
$120,000 home paid over 30 years:

Credit Cards
Usually you will not be unable to get an unsecured credit
card with damaged credit. The accounts you may be approved
for will typically have higher rates and low limits.

-- How long have you been doing credit report repair? --
A Credit Advantage has a staff with over 10 years
of experience which has been repairing people's credit by
challenging the credit reporting companies and the methods
they use to blacken the credit of thousands of Americans.
Using lawyers, accountants, underwriters, bankers and
repair specialists, A Credit Advantage demystifies
the experience of credit repair. We employ innovative
solutions and adhere to the laws and regulations that
govern the credit reporting industry.

|
-- How do you restore bad credit? --
Once we've received your credit reports, we will analyze
your credit history to identify items that are responsible
for bringing your credit score down. Then we will draft
letters to dispute these negative items on your behalf.
Although we encourage consumers to dispute their own
credit if they have the time and knowledge to do so It is
important to note that, according to federal law, the
credit bureaus can ignore your dispute under a variety of
conditions. In our experience, a large part of dispute
letters sent directly from consumers are rejected for one
reason or another. A Credit Advantage's letters
are expertly designed such that credit bureaus will accept
the dispute and conduct an investigation.
A disputed credit listing must be verified as accurate for
it to remain on the credit report. If the credit listings
contains an error, the credit bureau may simply correct
the item, but. very often, disputed credit items cannot be
verified because either the creditor either no longer
possesses necessary information or does not to go to the
effort of verifying it. Furthermore, the investigation
must be completed within 30 days or the listing must be
removed. For these reasons, properly disputed credit
listings are removed from your credit report with
remarkable frequency.
At the conclusion of the credit bureau's investigation, a
new copy of the credit report is sent to you along with
any deletions or improvements. You then provide us with a
copy of the new credit report and the cycle repeats itself
at strategic intervals.
Each time an investigation is initiated, the odds of
receiving a particular deletion increases.
|
|
|
-- How long does it take? --
Everyone wants you to see results immediately. Although
everyone's credit history is different, most people will
see progress within the first 45 days of their membership.
The majority of time is spent waiting for the credit
bureaus to respond to requests. We take great effort in
getting our disputes to the bureaus as fast as possible.
As a reference, the average person with 7-10 inaccurate,
misleading or obsolete items on each credit report should
be prepared for a 3-4 month commitment.
|
|
|
-- Do you guarantee results? --
By law, no company can guarantee that they can have items
removed from your credit reports, but we stand behind our
services and, if you feel you do not see results, we will
evaluate your account and you will receive a portion of
your money back if appropriate progress with your case has
not been made. Please refer to our Terms of Use and
Warranty for more details.
|
|
|
-- What if removed items reappear? --
This happens occasionally either by accident or a creditor
has eventually verified a particular item. This is what is
known as a 'soft delete'. The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting
Agency) has made it much more difficult for a creditor to
replace an item once it has been removed. A Credit Advantage
will re-challenge the item with the full force of the
prior removal in our favor.
|
|
|
-- Is this legal? --
Yes, you are given the right under the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (FCRA), including the right to challenge
inaccurate, misleading and obsolete items appearing on
your credit report. A Credit Advantage uses every
venue available to you under the law to help you assert
these rights.
|
|
|
-- How is this done legally? --
Disputing items on your credit report is your legal right
(see the Fair Credit Reporting Act). When you use A Credit Advantage

all federal and regional laws regulating third party
credit repair assistance.

-- What is a credit score? --
A credit score is a numerical ranking system that lenders
use to determine how much of a credit risk you are. A
credit score is a numeric indication of how likely you are
to repay debts such as loans or lines of credit. Lenders
use this number to determine how much of a credit risk you
are.
Credit scores also are designed to indicate your
creditworthiness in comparison with other consumers.
Credit scores are based on the data in your credit report
and are generated by computers using artificial
intelligence. Usually a credit score is between the
numbers 300 to 900. The higher your score, the more
"creditworthy" you are to lenders.
|
|
|
-- What is my credit score based on? --
Credit scoring is based on many factors that may include:
Amount of available credit
Payment history
Recent requests for credit
Amount of credit currently being used
Length of credit history
Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, credit scoring may
not use gender, martial status, national origin, race, or
religion as factors.
|
|
|
-- How can bad credit be deleted? --
Negative credit listings are deleted from peoples' credit
reports each and every day!
A Credit Advantage is hard at work every day
challenging damaging and questionable credit entries on
behalf of its clients. Utilizing proven and absolutely
legal methods,
A Credit Advantage is a professional organization
working for you and your credit
|
|
|
-- Why Do I need to Pay My Bills? --
When we delete a negative credit report listing, the
actual debt remains. You still owe the same amount of
money that you owed to begin with. If you don't pay the
debt, the creditor or collection agency could always
report the item again. So removing the listing without
addressing the debt is only a temporary solution.
