 TITLE: How Do Credit Repair Companies Work? CONTENT: Does Credit Repair Work?\n------------------------\nWhile some credit repair companies claim to have deleted millions of negative credit entries, there are no reliable statistics available regarding the effectiveness of credit repair services. There are also no statistics about credit repair's impact on their customers' average credit scores, how many of the disputes they file result in deletion, or the average price paid by a credit repair customer.\nBecause there is nothing a credit repair company can do that you can't do for yourself, it's better to ensure the accuracy of your credit reports on your own. The process is free, and has always been. Also keep in mind that accurate negative information will automatically be removed from your credit reports once it's seven to 10 years old. END
