Three Ways We Help With Your Credit
Most clients start with credit repair: we find inaccurate, outdated or unverifiable items on your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion reports and dispute them. Once your reports are cleaner, personal funding helps you line up loans and credit lines that fit your financial goals. Small business owners can also work with us on business funding, so the business has its own credit to stand on.
Credit Repair
We dispute errors on your credit report and coach you on balances and older accounts so your score improves and holds.
Personal Funding
We get your credit report in shape, then help you apply for personal loans and credit lines in the right order, at the right time.
Small Business Funding
We get your personal and business credit in shape, then help you apply for funding and credit lines your business can keep in good standing.
What Shapes the Cost of Your Program
Every credit file is different, so we do not quote a single number for everyone. During your phone consultation we look at what is actually on your reports and explain what your program will involve before you enroll.
We explain the cost of your program by phone before you commit, based on your actual reports. You know what you are paying for before any dispute goes out.
- Number of items to dispute
- A report with two questionable collections takes less work than one with a dozen late payments, charge-offs and inquiries spread across several accounts.
- How many bureaus are involved
- When the same error appears on Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, each bureau has to be disputed and followed up separately.
- Rounds of follow-up
- Some items come off after the first dispute. Others need more documentation or a second round with the bureau or the creditor, which adds time.
- Funding goals
- If you want help preparing for personal funding or business funding after the disputes, that guidance is part of the conversation and can change the scope of your plan.
- How long you stay enrolled
- Clients who want ongoing upkeep and review stay in the program longer than clients who only need a few errors corrected.
What Happens After You Reach Out
The steps are simple, and we keep you posted at each one so you are never wondering where things stand.

About Credit Repair Temple Terrace
We are a local credit repair company working with individuals and small business owners who want their credit reports to be accurate and their scores to reflect how they actually handle money. A lot of our clients come to us after a denial, a high interest offer or a surprise on a report they had not checked in years.
Our approach is steady rather than flashy. We fix what can be fixed, explain what cannot, and help you build the routines that keep a good score good. Then, when you are ready, we help you look at personal funding or business funding with reports that can stand up to a lender's review.
How We Work With Each Client
A credit score is not fixed once and forgotten. We treat it the way you would treat anything you plan to rely on for years: clean it up, then keep it in good shape.
- We start with all three reports
- Errors often show up on one bureau and not the others. We pull the full picture before we dispute anything, so nothing gets missed and nothing gets disputed twice.
- Straight talk on what can change
- Federal law lets you dispute items that are inaccurate, incomplete or cannot be verified. A late payment that really happened and is reported correctly is a different matter. We tell you which is which at the start, so you are never sold on results that are not possible.
- Upkeep after the disputes
- Deletions help, but habits keep the score up. We walk you through utilization, payment timing and how new accounts affect your report, so the progress holds when the program ends.
- Funding when you are ready, not before
- Applying too early adds hard inquiries and can lead to denials. We help you decide when your reports are strong enough to apply for personal or business funding.
- Meet the way that suits you
- Some clients like sitting across a desk. Others would rather handle everything on a lunch break by phone or video. Both work the same way with us.
Common Questions Before You Enroll
- If a negative mark on my report is true, will you get it deleted?
- No. Be careful with any company that promises to take off correct information. The law lets you challenge items that are wrong, incomplete, outdated or that the reporting company cannot verify. Plenty of reports carry more of those than people realize, and that is where we focus. For marks that are accurate, we explain how long they remain and how to soften their effect on your score.
- How many months should I expect the process to last?
- That depends on what is on your reports and how each bureau answers. A bureau generally has about 30 days to look into a dispute, and some items take a second or third round. Most clients notice changes within a few months, and we go over the results with you as they come in.
- Do I get a refund if no items are deleted?
- Yes. If there are no deletions while you are actively in our credit repair program, you get a 100% refund. We go over exactly what that covers during your consultation call, so you know the terms before you enroll.
- Does sending a dispute drop my credit score?
- No. Filing a dispute by itself does not pull your score down. The outcome is what can move it, for example when an incorrect late payment comes off. New credit applications are another story, so we help you plan when to apply for funding.
- Why not just send the disputes on my own?
- That is your right, and some people manage it. Clients hire us because lining up three reports, writing disputes that are hard to brush aside, tracking every reply and pushing back when an item is verified without real proof all take time. We also stay with you afterward, helping you protect the score and get ready for funding.
- Can you help my business get funding as well?
- Yes. Lenders often check the owner's personal credit before they will consider the business. We work on both, starting with your own reports and moving on to preparing for business funding and credit lines in the company's name.
- Will I need to visit your office?
- Only if you want to. Our office is open to you, but many clients work with us entirely by phone or video. The report review, the disputes and the follow-up run the same way no matter how we meet.
