Credit Repair Attorney: How to Decide if You Need One to Clean up Negative Items

Fixing a bad credit report is not a pleasant experience. There are basically two ways of going about the credit repair process.

Many people decide first to fix their own credit only to discover the process is much more involved than they expected. This is because they are trying to save a few dollars by going the inexpensive route.

Unfortunately you may discover that repairing bad credit is one of those projects that only appears easy. There is so much to the process including legal research and writing, which is challenging even for credit lawyers at times.

If you are not the type of person who enjoys legal research in your free time, or don't have patience for translating wordy statutes and confusing case laws from around the country, then this might not be for you. But if you are determined enough to plow through the stacks of law books, then you should expect to spend at least a a few Sunday afternoons researching applicable credit laws at your local library.

Assuming you are able to understand the case law and statutes, then you have to move onto the more important part of credit repair. The next step is to write a coherent and compelling dispute letter. You will need to cite the applicable case law and disputed items.

For example, the credit bureaus are trained to be on the lookout for those people trying do it yourself credit repair. They can easily spot the dispute letters written by amateurs. This can be a problem since credit bureaus are infamous for ignoring badly written dispute letters.

Even if you are a good writer, you probably are not going to enjoy standing in line at the post office. To ensure your dispute receives a proper investigation, you will need to mail the letter via United States Certified Mail.

By now you are probably wishing you had more free time. Mailing dispute letters via certified mail takes a lot of time. Unless you are extremely casual about how you spend your free time, this is probably not worth your time.

Disputing bad credit errors on your own also takes an organized office space and a strategic plan. For example, you will need a spreadsheet to track the progress of each disputed item. Plus, you will need to give yourself reminders or some type of alert in the event the bureaus or creditors have allowed the proper investigation period to expire.

As you can see credit repair is not a fun experience. There are so many better and more efficient uses of your time. Plus, it is difficult to learn and apply complex legal statutes and case law to your unique credit experience.

I think a lot of personal finance pages have a lot of good information. But I try to remember that many of the sites I read also are trying to make money through the stuff they post. Some are getting paid to post certain items and rave about them. Some are doing it in hopes the company sees their post and sends them free merchandise.

I'm not saying all of them do but enough do to make me not feel like spending money. So there may be a very legitimate reason you are feeling this way.

Searching for one, I came across the site which has a good collection of credit related articles, customer service which can answer your questions about credit and which provides a wide range of credit cards with secure applications –

As in all things Jefferson Parish, I would like to know if there is any relationship between Judge John Peytavin and Michael Peytavin of the Gaudry, Ranson, Higgins and Gremillion law firm.

Micheal Peytavin is, of course, the lawyer who negotiated the illegal River Birch contract at the behest of then Parish Attorney Tom Wilkinson. His law firm has received over a $100,000 THOUSAND DOLLARS in fees to date. Some how Heebe and Butler, Jr. get fused into this picture of influential lawyers and politicos.

Appearances are never what they seem…

Bank of America and BAC Home Loans Services, LP have major issues on there hands; they could be buried in litigation for years.

1) BofA owns BAC (BAC) Home Loans Servcing, LP; they transfered all loans from BofA to BAC to create layers.
2) BAC is now a debt collector.
3) BAC is not responding or answereing RESPA QWR's
4) BAC is not responding to FDCPA dispute letters
5) BofA has misrepresented who owns the loan in RESPA QWR response letters. Some times stating up to 4 differnt entities own the loan in differing indivdual repsonses.
6) IF BAC is sent a RESPA QWR, BofA answers it for them. BofA is a legal entity and BAC Home Loans Servinc, LP is a legal entity.
7) BAC and BofA claim in notice of defaults that they are the owner/creditor/holder of the loan; when BofA has stated in RESPA QWR response letters that they are merely the Servicer of the loan.
8) Advertising in Newspaper advertisements for notice of sales as BofA being the creditor/holder/owner and foreclsoing on properties they did not own, were merely the Servicer.
9) BofA acted as the orginating lender, then admits to selling a borrowers loan, stating in RESPA QWR's BofA is merely the Servicer, but has kept the NOTE, MORTGAGE and all docuements since orgination. This is an admission of not perfomring to the Pooling and Service Agreement and to the letter of the law for the Trust agreement.
10) BofA and BAC represent to borrowers that the borrower is denied a loan modification due to The Investor denies it. BofA then communicates in writing to the borrower the name of a creditor, other than BofA, that is owner of the borrowers loan, misrepresenting and misleading to the borrower the loan had been sold. Then in Court and lawsuits BofA changes its claims to state BofA owns the loan and that BofA made mistakes stating that the loans were sold, when BofA did not sell them. BofA had them placed in internal divisions owned by BofA, but given different names. These names mislead borrowers in to beleiving the loan has been sold.

BofA has serious issues; not to mention the issues of closing loans where it did not investigate borrowers income or ability to repay the loan, also BofA owns an appraissal company, Home Focus Services, LLC, and ordered appraissals through its own entity!

Hey Donald,

Calvin uses the word "dictation" many times. I don't know why folk are confused on this. His view of dictation had some very wooden literalistic elements to it.

And are you saying Rutherford was not a Theonomist? Rutherford clearly held that the first and second table was still binding, but the case laws were not literally.

Not all modern theonomists insisted on the case laws as still binding. And I could be wrong, but it was only a few theonomists who said that "equity" was not applicable for OT penology, but that the exact penology of moral and case law still applied today.

If Rutherford was not a theonomist, how was he different to the Levellers? :-)

I must be missing something.

Thanks
David
