In spite of the constant and unprecedented efforts of the FTC in helping people in identifying the scams of several credit repair companies across the nation, there are still a few fake credit repair companies that make false promises and prove to be unscrupulous and deceptive among the innocent consumers.

Finding the genuineness and authenticity of a credit repair company is easy if you know the means and put in the required efforts in this regard. Get to know the following tactics and keep the fraudulent credit repair companies at bay with ease.

Check the credit worthiness of the company with ECRA (Ethical Credit Repair Alliance). ECRA operates to promote ethical credit repair services in the best interest of consumers and credit repair companies that maintain high ethics in business practices. Since FTC dives in, only in case of too many complaints against a fraudulent credit service company, ECRA is of great avail in this regard.

Ensure that the company from whom you get assistance is ready to sign a written contract with you with respect to your legal rights, expected services and timeframes, terms and conditions of payment and cancellation policies. You have every right to contact the credit bureau directly for any information that you need regarding your credit report. No credit repair company can deny this right of yours and if they try to do so, you can right away cancel the contract.

If the credit repair company promises to offer you a new social security number or federal identification number, just say no right away. This is absolutely illegal and the credit repair company is unscrupulous.

Removal of all negative entries from your credit report is emphatically not possible. Bankruptcies and judgments cannot be removed out of your credit reports by any credit repair company.

Repairing credit is straightforward. The process does not have any secrets or gimmicks involved. It takes time and no one can clean up your report within days. If they claim to do so, it is a false claim and you can reject the service right away.

Get to know the background, reputation, ethics and stability of the credit repair company before you sign an agreement with them. Researches well before you go ahead.

Ask questions and get them clarified and find the best and the most trustworthy credit repair company to assist you even if that is going to involve great expenses.
