Credit Repair, Personal Funding and Business Funding
Most clients come to us with one of three goals. Some need errors removed from their credit reports, such as a duplicated collection, a late payment that was never late or a balance the creditor stopped updating. Others want a personal loan or a credit line and need to know what a lender will see first. Small business owners often need business funding and want to know how their personal credit score affects the terms they are offered.
Credit Repair
We find reporting errors on your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion files, dispute them in writing and keep a copy of every letter and bureau response for you.
Personal Funding
We read your credit report the way a lender does, clear up what is holding you back, and apply for personal loans or credit lines when your profile is ready.
Small Business Funding
We clean up the personal and business credit files lenders pull, then match your revenue and time in business to funding that fits.
What Shapes the Cost of Your Plan
We do not quote a flat number before we have seen your reports. The scope depends on how many items need work, how complex they are and whether funding preparation is part of the plan. Here is what moves it.
After your consultation we walk you through a written plan that lists the work and its cost, so you know the scope before you enroll.
- Number of disputed items
- Three inaccurate collections take less work than fifteen items spread across several creditors. Each item needs its own review and its own written dispute.
- How many bureaus report the error
- Equifax, Experian and TransUnion each keep separate files. An error that appears on all three means three disputes and three sets of responses to track.
- File complexity
- A mixed file, where another person's accounts land on your report, or accounts opened through identity theft, takes more documentation than a single wrong balance. These cases often need supporting records from you.
- Rounds of disputes
- Bureaus generally have about 30 days to investigate a dispute. If a furnisher verifies an item we believe is still wrong, a follow-up round with more specific evidence may be needed.
- Funding preparation
- Adding personal funding or business funding work means reviewing income or revenue records, business registration details and the credit profile a lender will pull.

About Credit Repair Sebring
We are a credit repair and funding office serving Sebring and Highlands County. Our clients include retirees cleaning up an old medical collection, workers who want a car loan at a fair rate and owners of small businesses looking for working capital or a credit line.
Our approach is simple to describe. We read the report closely, dispute what is inaccurate, document every step and tell you plainly what the bureaus did. Clients who want to meet face to face can come to the office, and many others handle everything by phone or video.
How a Case Runs From First Call to Funding
Every stage leaves you with something on paper you can check. This is the order we work in.
- 1
Consultation and report review
We go over your financial goals at our office, by phone or by video, then pull apart your reports from all three bureaus. Each negative item gets logged with its reported dates and the bureau that shows it.
- 2
Item-by-item audit
We sort every negative entry into three groups: clearly inaccurate, unverifiable and accurate. You get snapshots of each flagged item with our notes, so you know what we plan to challenge and why.
- 3
First round of disputes
Item-specific letters go out to the bureaus and, where it helps, to the creditors that reported the data. You get a copy of every letter we send.
- 4
Review results and follow up
Bureaus generally have about 30 days to investigate. When responses arrive, we compare the new reports against the earlier snapshots and challenge items that were verified without real proof.
- 5
Next step toward funding
Once your reports are cleaner, we look at personal funding or small business funding if that is part of your plan, and time applications so hard inquiries do not pile up.
Why Clients Work With Us
Credit repair has a reputation for vague promises. We answer that by showing the work: what was on the report, what we disputed and why, and what came back.
Every item gets a written reason
Before we dispute anything, we mark the specific field that is wrong, such as the date of first delinquency, the reported balance or the account status. A dispute that names one concrete inaccuracy gives the bureau and the furnisher something definite to investigate.
You see the paper trail
Each dispute letter, its mailing receipt and every bureau response goes into your file, and you get copies. When an item is deleted or corrected, you can lay the before and after reports side by side and see the change yourself.
We say when an item is accurate
An accurate late payment usually stays on a report for up to seven years. If an item is reported correctly, we tell you so and shift the focus to what you can change, like utilization and payment history from here on.
Funding advice tied to your actual file
Lenders weigh different things. A personal credit line leans on score and utilization, while business funding may also look at time in business, revenue and whether you will personally guarantee the debt. We base the funding conversation on what your reports and documents actually show.
Questions Clients Ask Before Starting
Something not covered here? (863) 251-6798
How long does credit repair take?
Bureaus generally have about 30 days to investigate each dispute, so the first results usually show up within one to two months. Files with many items or a mixed file can take several rounds. We give you a timeline estimate in your written plan once we have seen your reports.
What can actually be removed from a credit report?
Items that are inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable can be corrected or removed. Examples include duplicated collections, wrong balances, incorrect late payment dates and accounts that are not yours. Negative items that are accurate generally stay for their reporting period, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Is there a refund if nothing gets deleted?
Yes. We offer a 100% refund if no deletions occur while you are actively in credit repair. Staying enrolled and sending us the bureau mail you receive keeps the process moving.
Will disputing items lower my credit score?
Filing a dispute does not count as a hard inquiry and does not lower your score by itself. A score can shift when an item is updated or removed, which is usually the goal. We explain any changes we see on your new reports.
Can I get business funding if my personal credit is weak?
Many business funding options look at the owner's personal credit, especially for newer businesses, so weak personal credit can limit terms. Lenders also consider revenue, time in business and documentation. We review both sides and tell you whether cleaning up your reports first is likely to help.
Do I have to come to your office?
No. We meet clients at our office in Sebring, and we also handle consultations and updates by phone or video. You can send us your bureau letters and we will log them in your file.
What should I have ready for the consultation?
A recent copy of your credit reports helps, along with any collection letters or bureau mail you have received. If you are interested in business funding, have a rough idea of your monthly revenue and how long the business has operated.
