What is good and what is bad? Take a knife or gun. It can be used to inflict harm on another person or it be used for self defense to save a life. Credit repair services are no different. They are neither good or bad, only their owners' intent defines whether they fall into the angel or demon category.
I guess the first question would be, why would anyone use such an agency when they could possibly do it themselves? Good question, but the operative word is 'possibly'. Some people don't have the time (or interest) in learning all the ins and outs of credit repair. If this is the case, then outsourcing this service makes sense. For all the time you spend educating yourself about the credit repair industry, you could easily pay an agency to do the work for you. So lets learn some knowledge about the industry that will help us hire a good repair service.
The credit repair services are governed by the Credit Repair Organizations Act. This ACT was passed around the same time the Fair Credit Reporting Act was amended late in the Clinton term. The act brought order to the wild west of the credit industry. They can't make spaced out claims such as deleting negative items from your credit report over nite. Used to be, some unscrupulous firms would do and say anything to get the client to sign the dotted line.
They can't charge you up front for work they haven't completed. Imagine how many people paid large up front fees only to have little if any results posted. But, there is a way they can circumvent this rule. A lot of credit repair services now charge a monthly fee and a minimal set up charge.
When its all said and done, its up to you to thoroughly check out the service you're contemplating hiring. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of pain.
