Avoid Credit Repair Companies Scams - Nobody can legally erase your bad credit history; neither yourself or credit repair companies have the power or right to remove true negative information from your credit reports. You do have the right to have errors removed from your file and they must be removed once the disputed information is proven to be wrong.
In many countries it’s illegal for credit repair companies to accept advance payment, security for payment (credit card) or to charge a fee unless their services cause a material improvement to the consumer’s credit file. Furthermore it’s illegal for a credit repairer to represent that they can cause a material improvement to a consumer’s credit file prior to examining the consumer’s consumer report.
To make a material improvement to your credit report all that is necessary is to correct some little error in your report such as how long you lived somewhere, where you’re presently employed or your present address. In fact almost everybody has some type of outdated minor errors on their report that can be fixed. For a fee (often over a thousand dollars) credit repairers will be more than happy to fix those little errors on your credit report which usually won't improve your credit score at all.
You can easily and cheaply fix the errors you find on your reports all by yourself. With bankruptcies and other bad information on your report there are no "loopholes" or laws that can be used to have them removed unless the information is wrong; otherwise only time will gradually remove this bad information.
