Consumer Credit File Rights Under State and Federal Law

You have a right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report by contacting the credit bureau directly. However, neither you nor any ''credit repair'' company or credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. The credit bureau must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over 7 years old. Bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years.

You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee. There is no fee, however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days. The credit bureau must provide someone to help you interpret the 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 a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations.

You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within 3 business days from the date you signed it.

Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur.

You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit file. The credit bureau must then reinvestigate and modify or remove inaccurate or incomplete information. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the credit bureau.

If the credit bureau's reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the credit bureau, to be kept in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.

The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit bureaus and credit repair organizations. For more information contact:

The Public Reference Branch Federal Trade Commission Washington, D.C. 20580'.

BRIEF OVERVIEW

Credit Reports: If we do not already have your credit reports; you will either need to order them, and send them to our office as soon as you receive them, or if you already have them, please forward them to us. We cannot start working on repairing your credit until after we receive your credit reports from you. You can order your reports form this link if you need to: www.identityIQ.com.

Address Verification:

Recommended Items and Things To Do:

A folder or large envelope, a calendar, and a pen or highlighter pen.

Mark on your calendar the date you sent us your credit reports and address verification. Go forward in your calendar 60 days, mark that day as the day to receive updated reports. If you do not receive any notification within this time period, it is your responsibility to let us know so we can take appropriate action. Not doing this will jeopardize the guarantee of this program.

Brief Overview

Here is a brief overview of what to expect over the next several months: about two to three weeks after we receive your credit files, you will receive a "thank you" letter from each Credit Reporting Agencies (CRA); don’t worry if you don’t get one from each of them, not everyone does. Sometimes they also send "Anti-Credit Repair" letters, please do not worry about these letters. Remember they do not want you to repair your credit, it is going to cost them time and money and then they will ultimately lose money! We do, however, need you to keep of all the letters you receive from the three CRAs referring to when updated reports would arrive, we may need these items at a later date. If you get any kind of letter from them and you want to call the office or fax it to us, that will be fine. If they ask you to call or mail them anything, do not do it! It is their responsibility to verify the information; you do not have to provide them with anything, except address verification. If they request additional address verification or a copy of your SS Card, please forward it to them as quickly as possible.

Also, a word of warning, the CRAs do not like credit repair at all! It makes their job harder (they make no profit from it) and it makes them look bad to their subscribers. A person with "bad credit" has 70% more inquiries on their file than a person with "good credit"; think about that for a minute, every time a credit file is pulled the CRAs make money (in between three and five dollars a piece)! So do they want you to fix your credit, absolutely not! Therefore, do not be surprised if you get some "junk mail" warning you about "credit repair agencies", it is mailed out randomly so you may not get any at all. The CRAs may send you a letter requesting you to notify them of our company. Please disregard their attempts to discredit our business, you can feel safe doing business with us! Remember, the CRAs are NOT government agencies; they are for-profit multi-million dollar companies that collect and sell your personal information! AND if they find out that you are working with a credit repair company, they will ignore any requests that we put in and make it VERY difficult to help your credit situation.

After an additional 45 days, if you have not received a report from all of the agencies, e-mail or call the office and we will send a demand letter to that company. When you have all three updated reports, please make a copy and send it to us. Please do not fax updated reports to the office! They will not make it in and will be unusable. We will review them and proceed to the next step if necessary. Also, you should not apply for any credit until this process is finished.

Once you receive all responses and they are sent into the office, we will cross reference each response with each other and formulate what our next step will be. We will schedule your next step, and once it is sent off you will wait 45 days again for the bureaus to respond. This process will repeat itself. You must keep paying all the bills you are currently paying on in a timely manner! Do not start paying old collection accounts; contact us if you receive anything on an old debt. If you are currently making payment to a collections agency, please notify us. Do not contact the credit bureaus without our consent. Doing so will jeopardize the guarantee of this program and can result in account cancellation.

Thank you The staff of Better Score Credit

General Terms and Conditions:

A. This Credit Repair Service Contract between Better Score Credit and the undersigned "Client" (refers to both in case of a couple) is for the purpose of purchasing credit report repair and improvement services (the "Services"). The Services will include preparation of correspondence to credit bureaus to request removal of errors, misrepresentations, or unverifiable information, which the Client states appears on the credit reports which the Client has furnished Better Score Credit. This is not a debt consolidation or bill payment program. Federal law requires that any unverifiable, outdated or erroneous information must be removed from consumer credit reports by reporting agencies. Better Score Credit agrees to use its best efforts to provide the Services, and will perform them in accordance with federal and state laws.

B. The Client understands that there will be an initial Setup and Analysis of $150.99 for an individual or $289.00 for a couple to be billed after the setup and analysis has been fully performed. After the initial setup has been completed, Better Score Credit will audit the Client's credit reports and develop a plan to delete, correct or change inaccurate, unverifiable and obsolete items under current federal and state law during this contract. After each month services have been fully performed, client will be billed. Client understands and agrees that after a month of services has been fully performed, a fee of $99.00 for an individual or $179.00 for a couple will be due, and that this fee is for all costs and fees associated with the previous month's Services. This process will continue until Client cancels service. The Client understands that the monthly fee includes the continuing analysis/audit of up to three credit bureau reports (per client, up to six for couples), all correspondence associated with the credit improvement process, the review for changes requested by the Client to the Client's credit reports as a result of contacts made on the Client's behalf with each applicable credit bureau, creditor or public record holder, phone consultations with client and the continuing planning and creation of documents for the purpose of credit report improvement.

C. Non Payment. If any form of payment you supply is uncollectible for any reason, Better Score Credit may charge you a dishonored payment fee of $30.00. The Member will agree not to close the bank account that Better Score Credit is authorized to withdraw payments from. Should the Member be required to change the authorized bank account, you must notify Better Score Credit immediately and complete a new Electric Payment authorization, as any interruption in the payment of our fees will require Better Score Credit to discontinue your service agreement. The resulting actions undertaken by the credit card companies, collection agencies, and/or law firms against the client will not be the responsibility of Better Score Credit.

D. Credit Application. The client shall not apply for any type of credit until they have completed the process. If the client fails to comply with our expressed request and applies for any credit and is denied, we cannot be held responsible for additional negative remarks and the direct influence this might have on your credit score.

E. The Client agrees to send, via mail, all credit reports and/or correspondence received from credit bureaus and/or creditors to Better Score Credit within five (5) days after the date received to guarantee the success of this program. If the Client has not received any credit reports or correspondence from the credit bureaus within 60 days after the date of the initial Credit Report Analysis/Audit, the Client must notify Better Score Credit so appropriate measures can be taken. Non compliance can result in termination of account.

F. By executing this Contract to obtain Better Score Credit Services, Client grants Better Score Credit during the term of this Contract, a limited power of attorney, by and through its authorized representatives, to: 1) use the Customer Information that the Client provides in order to obtain from credit bureaus, creditors, collection agencies and other holders of records of Client's credit reports, Client's credit history or other creditor information for the Services; 2) sign correspondence to the record holders; 3) use Client's name to sign correspondence addressed to creditors; 4) obtain credit information over the telephone, fax, and or through the internet from record holders; 5) to discuss information with any record holders to help resolve a debt if mediation of a debt is necessary. Better Score Credit acknowledges that its Authorized Representatives have been alerted to the sensitivity of the Customer Information. As such, Better Score Credit will use its best efforts to ensure that Customer Information will be handled in a responsible and professional manner. The Customer shall have the right to revoke or terminate the limited power of attorney provided under this Contract at any time upon written notice to Better Score Credit.
