Consumer Advisory: People Have The Right To

Cancel Credit Repair Services

People working to improve their credit situations can feel trapped. Some companies use this stressful situation to take advantage of consumers by selling a promise of credit repair services. However, these services often charge fees without delivering on their promises. The CFPB filed a lawsuit against companies doing business using the names Lexington Law and CreditRepair.com.


These are two of the country’s largest credit repair companies—companies that promise to fix or to improve people’s credit. The court concluded that the companies broke the law. As part of a legal settlement in the case, the companies are banned from using telemarketing to sell their credit repair services for ten years.
