You are here:
I can answer questions on collections, repossessions, bankruptcy, credit repair, credit counseling, FICO scores, credit planning, and the cause and effect of credit related decisions. I can also answer questions on collection settlements and preparing to sue your creditors for false debts and credit reporting.
Fifteen years ago I was financially devasted due to severe health issues. I filed bankruptcy, had a foreclosure, car repossession, tax lien, and ruined credit. I immersed myself in credit law. I settled dozens of accounts and had them removed to improve my credit. I personally sued four creditors and collection agencies and won cash settlements for their false reporting on my credit reports. Since then, I have completely recovered and have nearly $100,000 in revolving credit lines and perfect credit. I have owned a credit repair company for the past five years and have an additional three years of specific work in the collections and debt management industry. I am fully versed in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts (FDCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and have used them successfully in collection settlements and lawsuits for myself and others. I am also familiar with and abide by the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA). I have deleted or helped delete literally hundreds and hundreds of derogatory items from consumers' credit reports and helped negotiate many settlements with collection agencies and creditors. I have also advised people on bankruptcy at any stage. In the current credit market, I have successfully advised numerous people on how to obtain credit and how to negotiate for better terms.

I'm sorry for your medical issues. I hope you are doing better :) Potentially they can eventually get to your bank accounts so you need to be vigilant. There are a lot of issues I would like to briefly
Dear Brandi: Very confusing and difficult situation. First, if the same thing happens and they don't show up again, you ask the court to "dismiss the case WITH prejudice." That basically means "you
Hi Kari: After the repossession, they will sell the car in a "commercially reasonable manner." This is usually at auction. They will subtract the amount they received from the sale from all the amounts
Hello Lee: It won't LOWER your score not using it but you want to be sure you use it at least once in this first month. Leave a very small balance. Get a statement showing the tiny balance and pay it
I am assuming you mean you have a default judgement against you. This is usually the case if the court deems you did not show up for some type of proceeding. If that is the case you can file a petition
