It was super-encouraging to see my credit score improve
each month as the negative items were deleted from my credit
reports. I thought some of the bad credit was permanent since
creditors misled me into believing that delinquent information
would stay on my credit report for the next seven years.
However, through their dispute process and "goodwill
interventions," Lexington Law proved it is possible to remove
any questionable negative item. (it is the same as pleading
'not guilty' in a court of law).
Additionally, the paralegal assigned to my case showed me
other credit rebuilding techniques such as:
* How to add up to three years of positive payment history
to your credit with your regular phone or utility bills
(these are things I pay each month anyway so it was a real
"no-brainer)
* How boost your credit score by optimizing your
'Utilization Ratio' - this involves transferring balances
and there is a Right Way and Wrong Way to do this
* How Lexington Law can erase your damaging credit
inquiries (applying for credit puts a small "ding" on your
credit. Inquiry Investigation helps you remove these "dings")
Deleting the negative credit items like charge offs and the
credit card judgment, combined with the credit rebuilding
techniques, rapidly improved my credit score. In fact, in
month two my score went up 74 points!
After living with bad credit for so long, it was really
encouraging to see that I was making progress in the right
direction.
Not only did the attorneys at Lexington Law show me
results, they also provided excellent customer service along
the way. If you are someone who enjoys that "personal touch",
then you may like how Lexington Law assigns a paralegal to
your case.
My paralegal (Stephanie) was always available to discuss
the status of my case over the phone and email. Even though I
didn't expect or ask for it, my attorney would also
periodically give me a call to check in.
Here are some strategies Lexington Law used to delete the
really stubborn bad credit - such as the credit card judgment:
- Unlimited dispute & delete
- Goodwill interventions
- Escalated information requests
- Debt validation
- Inquiry assist

enjoyed logging in just to see all the deletions!) |
