FAQs

-- What are the advantages of using My Easy Credit Cleanup ? --
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 My Easy Credit Cleanup 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 long have you been doing credit report repair? --
My Easy Credit Cleanup 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, My Easy Credit Cleanup 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. My Easy Credit Cleanup 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 listing contains an error, the credit bureau may simply correct the item. Quite often they are unable to verify because the creditor no longer possesses the necessary information or they do not put forth the effort to verify 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 our service. 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. My Easy Credit Cleanup 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. My Easy Credit Cleanup uses every venue available to you under the law to help you assert these rights. 
Disputing items on your credit report is your legal right (see the Fair Credit Reporting Act). When you use My Easy Credit Cleanup to help repair your credit, we are abiding by and using 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, marital status, national origin, race, or religion as factors. 


-- 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.
