About Credit Repair Brandon
We started this company because most people we met had no idea what was on their credit report, or why. They had been turned down for a car loan or a business credit line and nobody told them the reason in plain words. That is the part we fix first.
We serve people and small business owners in Brandon and the towns around it. Some are cleaning up after a hard stretch. Some found an account on their report that was never theirs. Some run a business and want funding to grow. We sit down with each one, explain what we see, and lay out a plan they can follow. You can read more on our About page.
Credit Repair, Personal Funding and Business Funding
Most people call us for one of three things. Credit repair is where we find errors on your credit report and dispute them with the bureaus and creditors. Personal funding is about getting you ready for a loan or credit line and knowing which options make sense. Small business funding helps owners understand what lenders look at and which kinds of business funding fit their stage.
Credit Repair
We find the wrong, outdated and unverifiable items on your credit reports, dispute them with the bureaus and tell you what to expect.
Personal Funding
Get ready for a personal loan or credit line by learning what lenders check, fixing what holds you back and applying at the right time.
Small Business Funding
We check your personal and business credit, explain what lenders will look at, and help you apply for credit lines or loans that fit your business.
Why People Work With Us
Credit can feel like a locked box. We open it up and show you what is inside, in words you already use.
We explain before we act
You will know what a late payment, a collection or a hard inquiry does to your credit score before we touch it. Some items on a report are simply correct, and when that is the case we say so up front. The law does not allow true, current information to be wiped off, and we will not act like it does.
A written plan you can read
After we review your reports, you get a plan that lists the items we will dispute and why. No guessing about what we are working on.
We work the way you do
Meet us at our office, or handle the whole thing by phone and video. Plenty of clients never come in at all.
Funding talk without the pitch
When your credit is in better shape, we walk through loans, credit lines and business funding. We point out the terms that matter, like the rate, the payment and the fees, so you can compare offers with clear eyes.
Updates as letters come back
Bureaus and creditors answer disputes on their own schedule. We go over each response with you and say what changed and what comes next.

What Shapes the Cost of Credit Repair
Every credit report is different, so the work is different too. A report with two wrong addresses is a small job. A report with several collections, a repossession and mixed-up accounts takes longer. Here is what moves the price.
We look at your actual reports first, then explain what the program covers and how billing works before you enroll. You get the numbers by phone, not a guess.
- How many items need disputing
- Each questionable account, late mark or collection is its own dispute. More items means more letters, more follow-up and more time.
- How many bureaus are involved
- Equifax, Experian and TransUnion do not always show the same thing. An error on all three takes more work than an error on one.
- How long the program runs
- Some reports clean up in a few rounds of disputes. Others need several rounds because creditors respond slowly or re-report an item. The length of the program affects the total.
- The type of negative items
- A misspelled name is simple. Duplicate collections, accounts that are not yours, or wrong dates of first delinquency take more digging and documentation.
- Whether you also want funding help
- Preparing for a personal loan or business funding adds its own steps, like reviewing your income records, business documents and the lenders that fit your profile.

Common Questions About Credit Repair
- Can you remove accurate negative items from my credit report?
- No, and anyone who says they can is not being straight with you. Accurate, current information can stay on your report for a set period under federal law. What we do is dispute items that are wrong, incomplete, outdated or that cannot be verified. Those are the items that can come off.
- How long does credit repair take?
- Timing comes down to how many items need work and how quickly the bureaus and creditors reply. Under federal rules a bureau usually gets about a month to look into each dispute. A stubborn item may need a second or third round before it is settled. Many clients notice changes in the first few months, and once we have reviewed your reports we tell you what a realistic timeline looks like.
- Will my credit score go up?
- When errors come off, scores often improve, but we cannot promise a specific number. Your score also depends on things like your payment history, how much of your credit lines you are using, and how long your accounts have been open. We explain each of those so you know what you can control.
- Do you offer a refund?
- Yes. Say you are enrolled and active in our credit repair program, and not a single item gets deleted from your reports in that time. In that case you get your money back in full, 100%. We walk through the details of that refund on the phone before you sign up.
- Can I dispute errors myself?
- You can, and we will tell you so. Anyone has the right to dispute with the credit bureaus directly. People hire us because it takes time, organized records and follow-up, and because they want someone to explain each response in plain terms.
- Do you help with business funding?
- Yes. We help small business owners understand how lenders look at personal and business credit, which kinds of business funding fit their situation, and what to have ready before applying. No one can promise approval, but going in prepared makes a real difference.
- Do I have to come to your office?
- No. You are welcome at our office, but we can handle the whole program by phone and video. Many clients never visit in person.
