Credit Repair Software - Avoiding Scams

In this article we examine some of the main problems with credit repair software systems and tips on how to avoid these ...

Today, there are not only credit repair software systems that can be purchased to help resolve credit issues for the consumer, but these programs claim that they can be used to start a credit repair business in that person's home. The makers of these credit repair software systems claim that the program is so easy to use and that the person will find it so effective on their own problems that they will be eager to use the system to help others to find their financial security as well. There is usually only the cost of the credit repair software that the consumers have to buy in order to start this home based business according to the software providers, so it seems like a great deal to the average person who is already struggling with debt and would like to not only be rid of the debt, but also to bring in more income.

Credit Repair Software Systems - Problems

There are many problems with the credit repair software systems that are on the market today. First, many of them offer to completely erase the bad credit from the credit reports that the three reporting agencies produce. This is not a valid claim, since accurate claims on the credit reports cannot be removed. They will often have the person send a dispute for all of the bad credit on their reports, providing the forms to do so through the credit repair software. However, this is also bad advice since providing false information is a federal crime that can lead to prosecution for mail or wire fraud.

The credit repair software may also provide the forms to apply for an Employer Identification Number. The reason for this is that they claim that the person can create a new credit identity by using such a number rather than using the Social Security number where all the bad credit is hosted. However, this is also a federal crime, as the Employer Identification Number cannot be applied for under false pretenses, which is the case when they want to use it to create a new credit identity so that they do not have to make good on their bad credit.

Another problem with these credit repair software programs is that the person has to purchase the program before they are able to see if it really works. Valid credit repair companies have to produce results for the person before they are paid for their services in order to ensure that they are not taking advantage of people who are already in monetary trouble.
