Credit Repair and Funding Services
We offer three services, and for most clients they work in order. Credit repair comes first: we review all three of your credit reports and dispute items that are inaccurate, incomplete or can't be verified. Once your file is cleaner, our personal funding and small business funding services help you go after loans and credit lines with a stronger profile behind you.
Credit Repair
We find errors on your three credit reports, dispute them under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and keep you updated as the bureaus respond.
Personal Funding
We check what lenders will see on your credit, clean up errors and help you apply for personal loans or credit lines when your file is ready.
Small Business Funding
We check what lenders will see on your personal and business credit, fix what we can, then help you apply for credit lines and loans that fit your plans.
How Your Credit Repair Plan Runs
Most clients go through several dispute rounds. Here is what to expect from your first call onward.
- 1
Your phone consultation
We ask about your financial goals, what you've noticed on your reports and when you hope to apply for funding. You get a straight answer on whether credit repair makes sense for you right now.
- 2
A line-by-line report review
We read your reports from all three bureaus and flag each item that looks wrong, outdated or unverifiable. Accurate, current items stay off the dispute list, and we explain why.
- 3
Disputes go out
Our letters go to Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and in some cases straight to the creditor that reported the item. A bureau generally has 30 days to investigate, stretching to 45 in certain situations.
- 4
Results and the next round
When responses come back, we compare your updated reports, show you what was removed or corrected and map out the next round for anything still unresolved.
- 5
Getting ready for funding
Once your file is in better shape, we can move you into personal funding or small business funding so you apply knowing exactly where you stand.
Why Clients Work With Us
Credit repair is governed by federal law, and a good company explains those rules instead of hiding behind them. Here is how we work with you.
- 01
A refund policy in writing
If you see no deletions while you're actively in the program, our policy is a 100% refund if no deletions while actively in credit repair. Before you enroll, we explain what staying active means for your plan so the terms are clear.
- 02
Disputes grounded in the law
The Fair Credit Reporting Act lets you challenge information that is inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable. That is what we dispute. We don't bury the bureaus in form letters, because a bureau can set aside a dispute it judges frivolous, and that costs you time.
- 03
Your contract in plain words
Federal law requires a credit repair company to give you a written contract, bars it from charging before the work is done and gives you three business days to cancel. We go over each of those rights with you before you sign.
- 04
Paperwork you can see
You receive copies of every dispute letter and every reply. After each round we walk through what changed on each report and what comes next.
- 05
Honest answers about funding
If your file isn't ready for a loan or credit line, we tell you. Applying too soon piles up hard inquiries, so we'd rather wait one more round than send you in short.
What Affects the Cost of Your Plan
We don't quote a number before we understand your credit reports, because two people with the same credit score can need very different work. A file with one wrong late payment is not the same job as a file with several collections and a mixed identity. These are the things that move the cost.
You hear the cost of your program by phone before you enroll, and the same terms appear in your written contract. No dollar figures are promised until we've talked through your situation.
- How many items need disputing
- Each account, inquiry or public record we challenge takes its own letter, follow-up and review. More items means more work across more rounds.
- How many bureaus report them
- Equifax, Experian and TransUnion keep separate files. An error that shows on all three has to be disputed with all three, and each may answer differently.
- The type of item
- A wrong balance or a duplicate collection is usually simpler than a charge-off, a public record or accounts tied to identity theft. Some items also need a direct dispute with the original creditor.
- The records you already have
- Statements, payment confirmations, settlement letters or an identity theft report can make a dispute stronger. If we need to help you gather proof first, the plan takes longer.
- Adding funding to your plan
- Some clients only want a cleaner credit report. Others want help preparing for personal funding or business funding afterward, which adds another stage to the work.

Credit Repair Questions We Hear Most
- Will you get negative accounts deleted even if they're correct?
- We won't promise that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Federal law generally lets accurate negative information stay on a report for seven years, and some bankruptcies for ten. We challenge items that are inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or unverifiable, and those are the ones that can be fixed or removed.
- How long does credit repair take?
- That depends on how many items are on your file and how the bureaus respond. A dispute round usually takes about 30 to 45 days, and most files need more than one. On your consultation call we'll give you a realistic sense of the timeline.
- What happens if nothing gets deleted?
- Our policy is a 100% refund if no deletions while actively in credit repair. We explain what counts as being active before you enroll, and the same terms are written into your contract.
- Could I dispute errors myself?
- Yes, and we'll say so on the first call. Federal law lets you dispute your own credit report at no cost. People usually come to us when there are many items, several bureaus involved or no time to keep up with letters and deadlines.
- Will working with you lower my credit score?
- Sending disputes does not lower your score on its own. Pulling your own credit reports is a soft inquiry and doesn't count against you. Hard inquiries come from applying for credit, so we plan the timing of any funding applications with care.
- Do I have to come to your office?
- No. Our office is open to you, but your consultation and every update can happen by phone or video instead. Plenty of clients finish their whole plan without visiting.
- Can you help me get business funding?
- Yes. Our small business funding service helps owners get ready to apply for loans and credit lines once their credit is in better shape. Approval is never promised, but you'll apply with a stronger file and a clear plan.
A Credit Repair Office That Explains the Rules
Credit Repair Dunedin works with individuals and small business owners who have been turned down, offered high rates or left puzzled by what shows up on their credit report. You can sit down with us in our office, or keep everything to phone and video calls if that suits your schedule better.
Our approach is simple. Credit repair is a regulated service, and you should know the rules as well as we do. Before any work starts, we cover what the law lets us dispute, what it doesn't, how long the bureaus get to respond and how cancellation works. Then we get to work, share every letter and response, and check in with you after each round.
We won't claim a bad item will disappear because you hired us. Accurate negative information can legally remain on a report for years. Our job is to make sure everything on your file is correct, complete and verified, and then help you build from there toward the funding you want.
