Your rights with debt relief & credit repair companies

The Credit Repair Organizations Act bans credit repair companies from charging before the work is done and gives you three days to cancel. Debt settlement companies that sell by phone cannot charge fees until they have actually settled a debt. You can do everything a credit repair company does yourself, for free.

Scam warning: Walk away from anyone who wants money up front, tells you to stop contacting your creditors, or promises a "new credit identity".
