Does credit repair work? YES
Is credit repair a scam? NO, not when you do it legally like the certified, licensed, credit repair specialists.
One of my book readers recently sent me this, showing her success.
Previously, her credit report had a charge-off from Verizon that she did not agree with. She challenged it and won! This letter from Experian shows the results and outcome: “Deleted – This item was removed from your credit report. Please review your report for the details.”
She was so happy, because having this negative item removed from her credit will boost her score. I cannot predict how many points her score will go up, because it varies depending on the person’s overall credit report. That said, having a charge-off removed is a major success!
Congratulations, dear book reader, and thank you for giving me permission to post this as an encouragement to others that DIY credit repair works.
All the steps on how she did this are in Repair Your Credit Like the Pros: 
Please share this encouragement with others who either need to restore their credit and/or who want to know how the credit system works. I appreciate it so much, and they will too!
