Repairing your credit using a credit repair agency.

By Timothy Gates

I am a big advocate of credit repair agencies when your credit is to damage and almost beyond repair. Now when is that point? If you are just starting out and you have few accounts on your credit repair than your best bet is to fix it yourself. But if you have eight or plus credit accounts and you have a lot of negative items than you should enlist the help of an credit repair agency.

Credit repair agencies can be a big help because of their expertise. If you should the right agency to work with, they will be a big help because they have been doing credit repair for a while and they know how to interact with the credit bureaus.

Most credit agencies will charge a fee upfront and set you up on a monthly basis plan. There are advantages and disadvantages in using this method, a lot of clients complain that credit repair agencies will work slower to get the most out of you. Fortunately with the agencies that I worked with I did not have this problem, so you want to research well the company that you will work with.

Credit agencies have a well trained staff and they are very good in disputing negative items. The heart of the credit dispute are the dispute letters. When well written, credit dispute letters will remove items in the first try, but sometimes credit repair agencies have to dispute the same item couple of times.

Credit repair agencies are very professional when writing dispute letters. They are very efficient, persistent and professional at times. You should do your research before hiring a credit repair agency.

A good credit repair agency will fix your credit anywhere between four to six months, that is, if you dont have many negative items on your credit report.

Now if for instance you have few accounts and you just need to fix five to six items, then you can do it yourself. Credit repair agencies are a great help, but you need to choose wisely. There are great credit repair agencies out there, just do your home work and you will have a smooth sail.
