Does Credit repair work?
The process of repairing credit is slow and takes time and more than a little effort. Successful restoration of good credit requires a full understanding of how credit bureaus and individual creditors interpret your credit profile. Credit bureaus tell you that you have the right to dispute, and perhaps remove, individual items on your credit report. The reality is that most people just do not have the time, patience, nor inclination to fight a protracted credit repair battle with multinational banks and other credit providers. For those who would prefer, you can have a professional, such as an attorney, to handle these tasks.
