What Does a Credit Repair Attorney Do?
Credit repair attorneys perform a number of services aimed at repairing your credit, including:
- Reviewing your credit reports to evaluate potential errors or ways to improve your score
- Negotiating with credit reporting agencies to remove negative items from your credit reports, such as late payments, charge-offs and foreclosures
- Negotiating settlement amounts with your creditors
- Representing you in court if a creditor sues you
Although you can do most of the same things a credit repair attorney can do (in other words, you don’t have to be a lawyer to repair your credit), it may be difficult. In addition to persistence and time, repairing your credit will likely require, at the least, making a series of phone calls and sending correspondence to credit bureaus. An experienced credit repair attorney has attained a level of expertise by repeatedly dealing with credit bureaus and understanding consumer rights and can then use that expertise on your behalf to provide you with the convenience (for a fee) of repairing your credit with less frustration to you, and hopefully better results, than if you did it yourself.
