Credit Repair
You have a right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report by contacting the credit bureau directly. However, neither you nor any ''credit repair'' company or credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. The credit bureau must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over 7 years old. Bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years.

You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee. There is no fee, however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days. The credit bureau must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report if you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the next 60 days, if you are a recipient of public welfare assistance, or if you have reason to believe that there is inaccurate information in your credit report due to fraud.

You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations.

You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within 3 business days from the date you signed it.

Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur.

You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit file. The credit bureau must then reinvestigate and modify or remove inaccurate or incomplete information. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the credit bureau.

If the credit bureau's reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the credit bureau, to be kept in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.

The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit bureaus and credit repair organizations. For more information contact:

Debt Settlement
In no case should you, the visitor, believe that there is any guarantee that you will not have to file bankruptcy now or in the future. This type of claim is not possible since bankruptcy is YOUR decision. * Up to 60% Debt reductions shown are real examples of some of the higher potential debt reductions possible. The debt negotiation industry averages about a 50% debt reduction, plus fees for their service, your results will vary. CashSmartUSA.com is not the end provider of debt relief service thus we do not guarantee any debt reduction amount, this will be estimated by the debt relief company you choose to use.

Important Issues to Consider when Evaluating Debt Settlement or Negotiation Programs

Consumers should not use a debt settlement service if they are able to pay their minimum balances due each month. Nor should you join if they do not have a legitimate financial hardship.

1) late fees, penalties, and interest will continue to accrue on the consumer's debt until the consumer's creditors accept and receive a settlement; (2) a consumer's creditors may still sue to collect on the debts and garnish the consumer's wages; (3) interest rates applicable to the consumer's debt may increase; (4) any money a consumer saves in negotiating a settlement with a creditor must be treated as income for tax purposes; and (5) a debt settled for less than the full amount owed may result in a negative notation on the consumer's credit report.

CashSmartUSA.com's debt settlement program is provided by Halo Debt Solutions.
