The good thing about Stirgus Credit Repair is, we know exactly what you're about to ask. You have questions about pricing, how does our process work, what can be removed from your credit report, how long will it take and how will you be updated. Before signing up for our service, PLEASE take a few minutes to read this entire page. It will answer all of your questions and avoid any future issues or misunderstandings about the credit repair industry.
Before talking about price or time, let's all be honest here. Damaging your credit report didn't happen over night. It took multiple months or years, of missing payments and getting accounts sent to debt collectors. With that being said, allowing Stirgus Credit Repair to attempt to remove the negative items off your credit reports, can't happen over night. If you are expecting imaginary magic to happen or somehow think all negative items on your credit report will disappear the moment you sign up, it's impossible and this is not the process for you.
VERY IMPORTANT: Stirgus Credit Repair will not tolerate any drama about your credit situation or issues about another credit repair company. Credit repair is a service. Definition of service-The action of helping or doing work for someone. Paying for a service means you are paying for a more experienced professional to do something you can do for yourself. Our job is to attempt to better your situation. You pay for a service if you don't have time or have the experience to do something yourself.

Examples of how credit repair works:
Example 1: If you hire a lawyer to defend you in court, that does not mean you will win the case. You hired an attorney to attempt to make your situation better and to hopefully beat the case. If the judge has all evidence against you and determined you get no slack, then it is not your lawyer's fault that he could not help you in court. You paid to use his experience with the law, to try and help you in court.
Example 2: If you go to a casino, you are attempting to win money. If you go the entire night without winning any money, it is not the casino's fault that you lost all of your money. You spent money to attempt to win more money, you do not automatically win money, just because you entered money into a slot machine.
Example 3: If you hire a professional car detailer to come detail your vehicle and it rains the moment he leaves, it is not the car detailer's fault that your vehicle is dirty again. You paid him to provide a service, the weather is out of his control.
Example 4: If you hire a lawn company to mow your grass every 2 weeks and it rains non-stop for a week, you may have to pay your lawn company to come out and mow your grass before your next scheduled appointment. The rain caused your lawn to grow quickly and the lawn company can not control that.
Example 5: When you enroll into a credit repair service, you are paying them to use their time and to work on the negative items on your credit reports (caused by you). You are paying for all of their documents that needs to be typed, printed, stamped, notarized and sent to the post office. Just like a car mechanic, you're paying for labor. His labor prices may include his time learning how to fix your vehicle, the tools he used to fix your vehicle and his shop. Therefore you are also paying a credit repair company for their system, things needed to send out your challenges to the credit bureaus and experience with the FCRA laws or violations made by the credit bureaus. You are paying for a service to attempt to help you, it is impossible to "pay for results", especially without seeing your credit reports first. That's similar to asking a mechanic to "fix your car, without it ever breaking again", it's impossible. Stirgus Credit Repair can not promise the results to anyone, you are advise to enroll into the service and request to cancel anytime you begin to feel the service is no longer needed or worth it. If you don't have "good luck" with a credit repair service, it is not the credit repair company's fault, that just means your creditors did everything they can to verify and respond to the credit bureaus investigations. There's no such thing as "the credit repair company didn't do anything".
Example 6: We can all make our own food at home, but there's millions of restaurants open every hour of the day and the food industry isn't slowing down any time soon. We would rather pay a restaurant to cook us a meal, if we are in a hurry or don't feel like cooking once we get home after work. Will a restaurant cook our hamburger exactly how we cook ours at home? Maybe not. We aren't paying for them to season exactly how we season ours, we are paying for them to provide a quicker meal for us, instead of us taking the time to go grocery shopping, prepping the food and cooking it ourselves.

HOW DOES our SERVICE WORK AND HOW LONG WILL I NEED IT?
Negative items report to your credit for 7-10 years, why wait? Let's see what we can do now! We only use legal methods provided by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Fair debt collection practices act (FDCPA) to attempt to help you. This is a process you must be patient with, just like the banks you owed were patient with you before they charged your accounts off. Some clients are lucky and see big changes within the first month. Everyone can't win the lottery their first time buying a lottery ticket! On average, most people see big changes within 3-6 months of being enrolled. Most people will also get their credit where it needs to be within 6-12 months. For really bad situations, you may want to expect to be enrolled at least a minimum of 8 months to a year! When we challenge accounts using the fair credit reporting act, we must wait 30 days to update you with results, because that's how long it takes for your credit reports to update, plus we must give the credit bureaus 30 days to do their investigations for us. There's no short cut around it. We can't promise anything nor sell you promises, just as a lawyer couldn't make any promises in court to his client, but he can attempt to help, based on his experience. We're in that same situation! There's many bad people in the credit repair industry, who claim they can "fix credit" within 24 hours, 72 hours, 30 days, 45 days or 60 days. Those people are not real credit repair companies, they're scams. Credit bureaus only update once a month, plus the FCRA allows the credit bureau's to investigate in our challenges for 30 days, yet people still fall for the fake scams. Before enrolling into ANY credit repair service, make sure they're a real business and not just a person in your city who claim they can "fix your credit". We are a fully licensed business with hundreds of clients.
WHAT CAN COME OFF OF MY CREDIT REPORT?
We legally attempt to remove all negative items that affects your credit reports! There's many laws we can use in the Fair Credit Reporting Act and a ton of errors on credit reports! A few common items that may affect people are: Hard Inquiries, Charged-off Accounts, Collections, Medical Debt, Late Payments, Auto Repossession's, Foreclosure's, Tax Liens, Child support, Student Loans, Public Records, Bankruptcies and more!
How will I be updated?
The credit bureau's only update your credit reports once a month. The credit bureau's also have 30 days to investigate our challenges each month, this means our system only updates once a month. Each client has their own online account, where they can simply log-in and track their 30 day updates. Along with that, clients receive automated emails from our system every 30 days, containing their updated credit analysis, showing their changes, score updates and what's remaining. Client's also receive automated email updates from our system, showing the items that we are working on. No need to ask for an update at Stirgus Credit Repair, the system does it for you!

how much does our service cost?
Stirgus Credit Repair DOES NOT collect any fees or service payments upfront from clients. The first month of service is 100% FREE. However, Clients do have to purchase their own $19.95 credit monitoring through SmartCredit once they enroll, which is provided in their email after they sign up. SmartCredit and Stirgus Credit Repair are two completely different companies. SmartCredit is our partnered company and our system is designed to import credit reports directly from their system! Without SmartCredit, we can not see your scores or reports. This is similar when you go to a hospital for a broken bone, you pay a hospital fee for an x-ray image. Without the x-ray image, the doctor can't see anything.

A month by month service. Your first month is covered on us and service completely free, besides your credit monitoring, which is paid to SmartCredit!

can i cancel anytime?
Yes, you can literally cancel during the first free month if you wanted to. Everyone's budget, expectations and timeframe is different. An emergency may occur and many people need to cancel as many monthly subscriptions as possible to make ends meet, we 100% understand! It is a violation of the (CROA) to not allow cancellations. So feel free to allow us to help you and cancel anytime you may need to!
is credit repair legal?
Yes, credit repair is legal and our credit education and document processing services will help you to use the law in your favor. That law is called "The Fair Credit Reporting Act." The FCRA gives you the right to dispute any item on your credit report. If that item cannot be verified within a reasonable time (usually 30 days) it must be removed. Studies have shown that 79% of all credit reports contain errors. This is nearly 8 out of 10 reports. Therefore most credit reports improve immediately. For items that disputed that are not errors, a creditor or furnisher is often unable to find the records or signed documents within the allotted time and the item gets removed. Sometimes the furnisher will say it has been verified by not offer proof. It is our job to prepare documents that challenge this and we are very skilled at that.
Is credit repair worth paying?
Contrary to what credit bureaus want you to believe, credit training does work in most circumstances. But it only works if you are getting the best advice from an experienced professional. Anyone with a credit score below 720 can benefit long-term from the advice and information provided through credit education. However, there are limiting factors that will prevent us from helping you. Two main factors are: (1) your financial situation and/or (2) the time frame in which you need to reach your results. It is possible to remove anything from a credit report, even accurate items. For instance, if the creditor makes mistakes or does not adhere to the specific time frame, the negative item may be removed. Now of course, we have no control on how long this can take. It takes 30 days each time we challenge something, to get the results. If you are trying to rush the process, or trying to get perfect scores within the first 1-3 months, no credit repair service is for you, as this process takes several months!
How soon can my credit scores change?
Through our services, 99% of our clients see their credit score increase in the first 1-3 months. After 6 months, the average credit score increase is 100+ points.
When we challenge items, the credit bureau's have 30 days(once they received our challenges) to attempt to verify each account from the company's reporting to your credit reports. Once their time limit is reached or feedback received from the creditors/companies, they determine if it's true verification or not. Now the credit bureau's mail you all results from their investigation.
You may receive alerts from your credit monitoring account has items are being deleted as well! That will usually update quicker than waiting for the mailed results.
We follow these steps month by month, with different strategies and approaches, until the job is done!

why are my scores different?
There are two sides to the credit score battle. Sometimes, the creditors and the credit bureaus have done absolutely everything right and we have no case against them. Sometimes it takes fighting back and forward each month, until our side is proven that their reported account is not acceptable!
You may also ask, why are your Equifax, TransUnion and Experian scores different and received different results.
1. Your scores may be different due to some creditors only pulling your credit from one bureau, which adds a hard inquiry to that report.
2. Some of your accounts may only report to 1 or 2 of your credit reports, instead of all 3.
3. You may receive results from different bureau's, because one bureau may have ran out of time trying to verify the account or the reporting creditor/company failed to send the required documents to verify your account.

can deleted items report back to my credit report?
Items cannot come back. Sometimes, the original creditor may hire another collection agency to attempt to collect your unverified debt from you. If this ever occurs, we must follow the same process. Collection companies may also try to report the account under a different account number, to make you "give up" and eventually pay them. This process has nothing to do with the company working on your credit. It's just a process to frustrate the average person and make them pay.
Should I pay a debt collector?
EXAMPLE: If a random person knocked on your door and told you, they're here to collect your car insurance money, would you pay them? Probably not. Why would you pay someone you don't know or never had an agreement with? If I borrowed $100 from you and gave it to a friend, who would owe you money? I would owe the money, not my friend, because you two never had an agreement together.
Paying a debt collector DOES NOT remove the negative account history from your credit scores. Debt collectors make a living by buying your contact information from banks and attempt to make you pay. If you pay, that's free profit for the debt collector.
