Credit Repair Companion review

If incorrect credit report listings are holding you back, Credit Repair Companion could help.

What is Credit Repair Companion?

Credit Repair Companion helps you to dispute bad credit listings on your credit report, so that you can get your credit score back on track.

It provides a service that you can do yourself for free, but if you're feeling overwhelmed by the process or unsure where to start, this might be a helpful service for you.

How does Credit Repair Companion work?

If you have any discrepancies or bad listings on your credit file, Credit Repair Companion will help you take the steps to remove them.

It provides tailored dispute letters, automated audit tools and further tips and resources.

Credit Repair Companion helps you to dispute:

  • Credit enquiries: Any applications for credit whether you've been approved or not. It can make it harder for you to get credit because if you have multiple credit applications you seem an untrustworthy borrower. These stay on your credit file for 5 years.
  • Default listings: Any debt that is 60 days or more overdue. These stay on your credit file for 5 years.
  • Serious credit infringements: Any debts where it seems like you're not paying it back at all. These stay on your credit file for 7 years.

Although anyone can access their credit file and dispute listings, Credit Repair Companion helps you navigate how and provides a helpful tracking system.
