Answer: Yes. There's a lot of debate surrounding this topic, but the fact is...credit repair is perfectly legal. That answer is solidified by the creation of the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA).

The problem is the usual bad apples giving the industry a bad name.

Question: I thought credit repair companies can't charge until after the work is done?

Answer: This law is often misinterpreted. If a credit repair company is sending letters on your behalf, they can charge the monthly fee once the letters have been sent each month.

Question: I've read Credit Repair Companies cannot guarantee results. Why do I see most of them advertising guarantees?

Answer: Another misinterpretation of the law. Credit Repair Companies cannot guarantee results e.g. "we guarantee we can remove everything". They can however have internal guarantees/policies such as the following: "If you are unhappy with our service, we'll refund your money"
