Commonwealth Credit Repair ("CCR") will act on your behalf in attempting to remove negative and invalid items off of your credit reports from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion credit bureaus.
- STEP 1 (1 - 7 days): CCR will set-up your case and order your credit reports for you.
- STEP 2 (7 - 14 days): Your credit reports will arrive in the mail. Forward those credit reports to CCR.
- STEP 3 (as necessary): CCR will draft correspondence to remove negative items from your credit reports*.
- STEP 4 (approx. 60 days): You will receive your first results from the credit bureaus. Forward those results to CCR.
The first results will be sent to you in approximately 60 days, followed by more results once every 90 days thereafter. Always make copies of your updated credit reports for your records and mail (do not fax) the originals to CCR.
* We may send you letters that we will prepare on your behalf for you to mail out. If we do, the letters will be sealed in separate envelopes and will contain "green" certified mail slips attached to them. You must bring those sealed envelopes to your local post office and mail them (the current certified mail fee is roughly $3.28). You may keep copies of those letters.
DEBT COLLECTOR VALIDATION. If you are being harassed by debt collectors, contact us for assistance. CCR will prepare letters on your behalf and provide them for you to respond against abusive debt collectors. Do not instruct debt collectors to contact us as we do not negotiate your debts. We simply assert your rights and prepare the appropriate letters for you.
COST Single: $75 Set-up fee, $85 per month. Couple: $75 Set-up fee , $125 per month.
In accordance with federal law, CCR does not charge fees in advance.

fee. The monthly payments are billed once every 30 days thereafter, for work performed
the previous month. You may cancel this contract within the first 3 business days
from the date this contract is signed or with a 30-day notice anytime after.

SUMMARY OF YOUR RIGHTS UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW
You have the right to obtain a copy of your credit file from a consumer credit reporting
agency. You may be charged a reasonable fee (generally $9.00). There is no fee,
however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance or a rental
dwelling because information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days.
The consumer credit reporting agency must provide you with someone to help you interpret
information in your credit file. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your
credit report if you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the next
60 days, if you are a recipient of public welfare assistance, or if you have reason
to believe that there is inaccurate information in your credit report due to fraud.
You have the right to dispute inaccurate information by contacting the consumer
credit reporting agency directly. However, neither you nor any credit repair company
has the right to have accurate, current and verifiable information removed from
your credit report. The consumer credit reporting agency must remove accurate, negative
information from your report only if it is over seven (7) years old, bankruptcy
information is reported for ten (10) years. You may, on your own, notify a credit
reporting agency in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your
credit file. The consumer credit reporting agency must then reinvestigate and modify
or remove inaccurate information. The credit reporting agency may not charge a fee
for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of documents you have concerning
an error should be given to the consumer credit reporting agency. Credit reporting
agencies are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information
they report is accurate, however, mistakes may occur.
If the credit bureau's reinvestigation
does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement
to the consumer credit reporting agency to keep in your file, explaining why you
believe the information is inaccurate. The consumer credit reporting agency must
include your statement about disputed information in any report it issues about
you. Please note that there are non-profit consumer credit counseling agencies in
your state who will assist you to resolve credit problems at no cost or for a nominal
fee.
You have the right to cancel this contract for any reason within three working
days from the date you have signed it. If for any reason you do cancel the contract
during this time, you do not owe any money.
You have the right to sue a credit services
organization that violates the Credit Repair Organizations Act. The Federal Trade
Commission regulates credit reporting agencies and credit repair organizations.
For more information, contact the Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C. 80580.
