What Is DIY Credit Repair?
DIY credit repair means reviewing your own credit reports, identifying potential inaccuracies, and disputing those items directly with the credit bureaus and creditors. Federal law gives consumers the right to challenge inaccurate or unverifiable information on their credit reports.
DIY credit repair does not mean:
Removing accurate negative information
Accurate negative items cannot be removed.
Creating fake disputes
False disputes do not work and can cause delays.
Using loopholes or shortcuts
There are no guaranteed credit repair shortcuts.
Is DIY Credit Repair Legal?
Yes. DIY credit repair is completely legal. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), consumers have the right to:
Access their credit reports
Dispute inaccurate or incomplete information
Receive responses from credit bureaus within a reasonable timeframe
However, disputes must be truthful and supported by facts. Misrepresenting information can backfire and delay progress.
