Illinois Report Repair by Lexington Law
You may have heard that it's possible
to delete negative items from your credit report, but you may
have wondered if it's actually possible in Illinois
. Even if you
acknowledge that it is possible to delete items from your history, you may think that it's the type of thing that rarely
happens or that it only happens in the most extreme circumstances.
The truth is that deleting items from your credit report is possible
(and legal) and at Lexington Law, we have the statistics
to prove that it happens every day. In fact in the second quarter
of 2006 we deleted an average of 1,665 negative items from our
clients credit reports every day! That averages out to over one deletion
per minute! Our total number of deletions for 2005 was 665,366,
and if anything the conservative nature of our data gathering
strategies mean that these statistics under report the actual
number of deletions!
So how exactly do we accomplish all
of this? The short answer is that we use the federal laws that govern
the credit reporting industry to dispute negative
items on our clients' credit reports. The more comprehensive answer
is that we rely on the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 USC 1681 et seq.) and related
laws that govern how credit reporting agencies like TransUnion,
Experian, and Equifax acquire and use the information of individual
consumers. Each of these credit bureaus collects information about
consumers from their creditors and other sources and supplies it to other creditors.
These for profit businesses supply information about your history to lenders, mortgage companies, and even prospective employers
and land lords! For that reason, if you have negative marks on
your credit report, you can be stuck with a higher interest rate
on your new mortgage, or be turned down for a mortgage
completely in Illinois
. Your FICO score may also indicate that you aren't
responsible enough to hold the new job your applying for, or that
you won't make your rental payments in
Illinois. For all of these
reasons, your credit report is important and can have some major
negative consequences if the negative items on it aren't taken
care of.
The credit bureaus are interested
in making money by acquiring information about individual consumers so that
they can turn around and sell it. What the credit bureaus aren't
particularly interested in is whether the information is accurate and error free.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act attempts to solve this problem by
placing the credit bureaus under the obligation of investigating
items on consumers' credit reports that are brought before them
for dispute. Unfortunately the law also leaves the credit reporting
bureaus ways to get out of performing the costly investigations.
That's where Lexington Law comes
in. While you could legally bring negative items on your credit
report before the credit reporting bureaus for dispute, you're
likely to be brushed off in the interest of the credit bureau's profit and efficiency.
On the other hand, we at Lexington Law have the legal knowledge
and resources to force the credit reporting agencies to give your
case the attention that it deserves. In fact, we're so sure of
our ability to produce results that our service comes with a warranty! All this, with a our risk free refund policy.

reporting bureaus interfere with your ability to get the most
out of life in Illinois. Sign up for credit report cleaning service
