The Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for enforcing consumer protection laws in the United States. In its capacity, the FTC offers a number of suggestions and warnings to consumers regarding credit repair organizations.
Beware of credit repair services that request fees in advance
Second Chance Credit Service does not charge you in advance for any credit repair services. It charges you only after the first-work, and the subsequent work have been performed.
Beware of credit repair services that don't disclose your rights
You have rights as a consumer. Beware of any credit repair company that doesn't disclose your consumer rights.
Beware of credit repair services that advocate "new" identities
It is unlawful to create a "new" identity by applying for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to replace one's Social Security Number. File segregation is a serious crime that can result in fines or imprisonment.
Beware of credit repair firms that misrepresent their expertise
Claims such as "25 years of experience" can be misleading. That number often represents the combined years of attorney experience, not the actual length of time that the firm has been practicing. By contrast, Lexington Law has been practicing credit report repair since 1991.
Beware of companies that imply FTC endorsement
The FTC does not endorse any business. If a credit repair organization implies FTC endorsement, you would do well to proceed with caution.
