Quick answer

What is credit repair?

Credit repair (or credit correction) is the process of identifying errors on your credit reports and disputing them with Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and your creditors under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The law requires reported information to be accurate and verifiable; anything that isn't must be corrected or removed. Accurate, timely information cannot legally be removed.

How it works

Four steps, zero surprises

You'll always know what we're doing, why, and what comes next.

  1. Free consultation

    We talk through your goals and review your situation. No cost, no commitment.

  2. Analysis and plan

    We study your three reports and give you a written plan with priorities.

  3. Dispute rounds

    We send documented disputes and follow up on every bureau response.

  4. Education and monitoring

Transparent billing: you pay monthly only after that month's dispute round has been sent. We never charge in advance. Your plan's price is confirmed in writing at your consultation.

Transparency

What the law requires — and we embrace

The credit repair industry has a reputation for impossible promises. At Forteza Credit we do the opposite: clarity first.

What we do

  • A written contract describing services and cost
  • The right to cancel at no cost within 5 business days of signing
  • Disputes only of inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information
  • Billing only after the month's work is done
  • Bilingual communication and progress reports

What we will never do

  • Guarantee results or a specific score increase
  • Ask you to dispute information you know is accurate
  • Recommend a CPN or a "new credit identity"
  • Charge you before the service is performed
  • Tell you not to contact the bureaus or your creditors

You have the right to dispute information on your credit report on your own, at no cost, directly with the bureaus and the creditor. You can get your reports for free at AnnualCreditReport.com.

FAQ

Clear answers to the questions we hear most

What is credit repair, and is it legal?

Yes, it's legal. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) gives you the right to dispute inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information on your reports. The Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) regulates companies like Forteza Credit: a written contract, no fees before services are performed, and the right to cancel.

How long does it take to see results?

Every case is different. Bureaus generally have 30 days to investigate each dispute, and many cases are worked over several months. We don't guarantee results or timelines; we do keep you informed of every response.

Can you remove negative accounts that are accurate?

No. No one can legally remove accurate, timely information. Be wary of any company that promises it. What we can do is dispute what's inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable, and help you build positive history.

How much does the service cost?

Pricing depends on the plan you need and is confirmed in writing at your free consultation. We never charge in advance: you pay monthly only after that month's dispute round has been sent.

Can I cancel?

Yes. You can cancel at no cost or penalty within 5 business days after signing your contract. After that period, you may end the service under the terms of your contract.

Do you serve clients outside Florida?

Yes. Forteza Credit is a Florida company that serves residents across the United States remotely, including Hawaii.

Do you offer services in Puerto Rico?

At this time we do not contract credit repair services with Puerto Rico residents. Our educational videos and guides are available to everyone at no cost.

How long does negative information stay on my report?

Most negative information can be reported for up to 7 years. Some bankruptcies can remain for up to 10 years, and hard inquiries appear for 2 years.

Can I dispute errors on my own?

Yes, at no cost. You can dispute directly with Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and the creditor. Many people prefer a team that organizes the process, documents every step, and follows up; that's the role Forteza Credit plays.

Will checking my credit with you lower my score?

No. Reviewing your own reports is a soft inquiry and does not affect your score.

What is a CPN, and why don't you recommend it?

A CPN ("credit privacy number") is sold as a way to build a brand-new credit history. Using one on credit applications in place of your Social Security number can be fraud. Forteza Credit never recommends it.

What do I need to get started?

A photo ID, proof of your current address, and access to your credit reports (we'll help you get them). Everything starts with a free consultation.
