I had a medical bill for a noshow that I specifically canceled and had a collection out. I didn't realized it until I started looking to buy a house. It tanked my score so I did a dispute online via one of the 3 agencies and a few weeks later had a letter in the mail that said they removed it. You can do all of this for 20$ for a month of credit score checking from 1 of the 3 agencies.

Are you serious? Anyone can do this themselves.
Pull your credit report from each agency. See if anything is messed up, if it is send the credit agency a letter saying what is wrong and they will fix it. You can dispute anything on your report for the cost of a letter, not $800.
If anyone needs help, there are several forums that can help you.
If you have credit problems, I'm going to think you don't have $800 laying around, what a scam.

yall are bitchin about a service. I work for a shop last week last week a taho came in with a check engine light on it was a EVAP code which ended up to be a bad gas cap I flagged 1.50 hours to install a gas cap(which took me less than 5 min)... moral of the story the shop provided a service(replacing the gas cap resulting in the check engine light going away) that the customer could of dun if they know how to( Just like everything else in life you have to pay for it if you dont know how to do it )

I'm sure you provide an awesome service, but given the past rap that other "credit repair" agencies have received (and with due criticism I might add) you have to realize it's going to be very difficult to justify your services.
It doesn't help that your only other support in your case is an individual who basically admitted to ripping off another customer, charging 1.5 mechanic hours to replace a 5 minute job that they couldn't "dun" themselves.
Not that I'm saying you can choose who your friends are, but I'm just saying that birds of a feather...

yeah you have remember shops charge a certain amount to diagnose a problem, so to diagnose something then fix it and turn off the light takes time in which case the customer has to pay for... thats like paying 5 hours for a intake job and it only takes you 2, are you going to charge for 2 hours or 5? it's a base fee... if the cust. had the know how or the means to do it then he could of saved him some $$$ but he didnt just like everything else in life, if you dont know how to do it and want someone to do it for you then you have to pay $$$
Maybe actually take care of the customer and potentially profit in the long run down the road when the customer brings the car in for repeat business or maybe even refers some friends.

As for 97camaross, he is not ripping anyone off. I am sure he probably works at a dealership and they work on flag hours. That job in the service book probably says the job flags 1.5 hours. The automotive service stuff has worked this way for years. I don't know him but he was trying to make a point. No one really has to pay anyone for any type of service if they have the knowledge and ability to do it themselves. The fact is that we all depend on each other to provide expertise and certain services that we don't have or the resources to preform those services. It is what keeps us all employed and food on the table.
Or the guy could throw all that bullshit out the window, realize that it was indeed a 5 minute job and actually charge for services rendered, not theoretical "what this is what the book says" stuff.

i'm sure the thread will get locked with all of the people coming in there and giving this guy a hard time, but he in response has never stooped to anyone's trash talking level, and has given well thought out intelligent responses.
I say he's legit and leave him alone

This is a great service, assuming one knows their score and what is on it and has 800 laying around and they care about their credit.

Oh and by the way I work for a shop that has been in business for 26 years and has been doing things the same way for those 26 years and over 85% of our customers are repeat customers and we have less than 1% come backs a year.we always call the customer before we make any repair.
automotive or any other services are not free how do you expect people to make money.... we are not screwing over the customer; they agreed on the price and they got a guaranteed fix

It will only cost the $800 if you finance it. I can do it for $700 if you pay for it up front or pay 1/2 down and the other 1/2 within 30 days.

Yes, we can challenge it and have it removed. Chances are, when it was reported, there were mistakes made. We can take off unpaid collections, charge-offs, repossessions, bankruptcies, medical bills, foreclosures, tax liens, civil liens, judgments, student loans, credit card debt, inquiries, slow pays, old addresses and all incorrect names.

Credit Repair Scams
You see the ads in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet. You hear them on the radio. You get fliers in the mail. You may even get calls from telemarketers offering credit repair services. They all make the same claims:
"Credit problems? No problem!"
"We can erase your bad credit-100% guaranteed."
"We can remove bankruptcies, judgments, liens, and bad loans from your credit file forever!"
Do yourself a favor and save some money, too. Don't believe these statements. They're just not true. Only time, a conscientious effort, and a plan for repaying your debt will improve your credit report.

The cost is $699-$799 depending on how you choose to pay for it. I can finance it with $99.00 down and 4 equal payments for the rest and that would be for the $799.00. I could do half down and the other half in 30 days or all up front, both of those options are $699.00. We guarantee our sservice and put your money into escrow until you see the results. We are also a Red Flag compliant company which means all of your information is secure all of the time. Oh, I forgot to metion that we stay with you for a year to make sure that your totally cleaned up.
