Can my bad credit be deleted?
Regardless of whatever myths you have heard in the past, the real proof is in the results we have achieved for thousands of consumers just like you. We are responsible for the deletion of negative credit items every day on behalf of our valued clients. The United States Congress has enacted a set of laws that protect consumers by requiring that only good, verifiable and accurate information appear on a consumers credit report. This same law details the rules for how negative information must be investigated and treated should it be challenged.
The eCreditAttorney team is comprised of industry leading experts in this field of law who have developed hands down the most effective strategies available to ensure you achieve your financial goals. We value you choosing our team to be your advocate and will work around the clock to ensure that the credit bureaus comply and provide you with the protections that the law demands.
Should I trust credit repair companies?
As is true in any industry there are those companies who provide legitimate services that deliver real measurable life changing results, and there are those who will tell you everything you want to hear in hopes of making a quick buck off of you through fraud and deceit. Beware of those frauds who make unrealistic promises. The reality is that we can provide a valuable service and help you achieve your financial goals, but any particular outcome can never be guaranteed.
The eCreditAttorney team guarantees that we will work with you to help you enforce the rights that have been provided for you by the United States Congress. These rights are broad and expansive giving the consumer the tools necessary to ensure a fair and accurate reporting of their credit.
We guarantee that we will keep working your case until you are 100% satisfied.
By my failing to act, what is my bad credit financially costing me?
In deciding whether to retain the eCreditAttorney team it may be helpful to see how much your bad credit may be costing you. Our examples below clearly show you that the cost of bad credit is far greater than the cost of the services we provide. If using our service helps you improve your credit and save money then your decision is clear.
Credit Cards
Most “regular” credit cards are not available at all to consumers with less than good credit. The options then for obtaining a credit card are limited to other types of secured debt. These secured cards often require burdensome setup fees, high recurring monthly fees, extremely low credit lines and secured cash deposits. Even worse, most of these cards do not even report all of the positive activity you are engaging in to the credit bureaus.
Auto Financing
You can expect that your payments on a car will likely be between $5,500 and $10,000 more with bad credit over the life of the loan. This extra amount occurs because of the higher monthly payment caused by the unfavorable interest rate you will be given.

Home Mortgage
While the effects of your bad credit are dramatic enough when simply buying a car, the effects of bad credit are substantially worse when you attempt to finance a home. It is likely that you will end up paying between $50,000 and $130,000 more in interest when buying a home with bad credit.

Can you remove bankruptcies and foreclosures?
Every possible kind of negative information can be removed from a credit report, assuming the right circumstances exist. Bankruptcies and foreclosures are definitely more difficult to remove from a credit report only because of the systems the credit bureaus use. However, they are removable as are every other type of negative item and we strive to deliver positive results regardless of the complexity of doing so.
Can’t I just declare bankruptcy and start over?
BEWARE!! We must alert you of the fact that bankruptcy is one of the most damaging things you can do to your credit rating. When you file for bankruptcy, each and every account that you have will be “included in bankruptcy”. Also, the bankruptcy filing and discharge listing will appear for all potential future lenders directly in the court records section of your credit report. Bottom line, just about every item that is listed on your credit report will instantly become a negative item. Future removal of all traces of the bankruptcy is extremely difficult.
What about changing my SSN or getting an EIN?
There are several unethical and fraudulent companies and individuals that try to sell you on the idea of changing your Social Security Number or getting an Employer Identification Number to set up a new credit file with the credit bureaus. BEWARE of this scam, it is not only very difficult to do, but in most instances it is also completely illegal.
Do negative items have to remain on your credit report for 7 years?
This is a myth propagated by credit grantors, collection agencies, and credit bureaus that is simply untrue. The laws that we are prepared to enforce on your behalf mandate that negative listings appear on your credit report for “no longer than seven years”. This means that the credit grantor, lender or credit bureau can choose to remove the negative credit listing whenever they see fit. More often than not, the bureaus delete these items only after your rights are properly enforced to ensure full compliance with the laws that were drafted to protect your credit.
What are The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and The Fair And Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA)?
The FCRA and the FACTA are the Federal laws that have been passed by the United States Congress granting consumers legal rights to ensure that the credit bureaus follow certain procedures to guarantee that only good, verifiable and accurate information appears on their credit report.
A full copy of the FCRA and the FACTA can be obtained directly from the Federal Trade Commission’s web site.
