We have spent a great deal of time scanning resources on the internet to find the best do it yourself credit repair. What we found was a little disturbing. While there were a few half decent guides, the vast majority promoted 'questionable' methods. Don't get us wrong, we feel that you are entitled to all the benefits the law provides - even if that means going to the boundaries of those laws. They are there to serve you and you should be able to take advantage of them as they permit.
However, we found many examples of online 'help' that stretch the boundaries of the laws governing credit repair. Some of them clearly step over the line. They can promote questionable methods because much of the time, you can get away with little or no repercussions. They use the angle: 'if nobody's looking – let's see what you can get away with.'

When negative information ends up on your credit record, it lowers your credit score. The banks use this credit score to determine your lending risk level. The lower the score, the higher the risk you are to them. So they charge you a higher interest rate to offset the risk.

So it is well worth your effort to try and remove as much negative information from your credit report as possible. If you have errors and inaccurate information that are negatively impacting your credit record, then you owe it to yourself to try to fix them.
