Common Questions

About the ERC Process

Most clients begin seeing results within 30–45 days of their first round of disputes. Meaningful score improvement typically happens within 3–6 months. The full timeline depends on the number of negative items, their severity, and your goals — your specialist will give you a realistic estimate during your strategy session.
We challenge any item that is inaccurate, unverifiable, improperly reported, or outside the reporting time limit under FCRA. In many cases, even technically accurate items can be removed if they can't be properly verified by the furnisher within the legally required timeframe. We never make guarantees, but our strategies are designed to maximize legitimate removals.
To get started, we need your identity information to access your credit reports, a clear understanding of your current situation and goals, and your consent to act on your behalf with the bureaus and creditors. During onboarding, we walk you through everything needed — the process is simple and straightforward.
While you have the legal right to dispute on your own, ERC brings expertise, legal strategy, and a systematic process that most people can't replicate alone. We know which language triggers bureau obligations, how to escalate when bureaus are unresponsive, and how to use FCRA and FDCPA violations to your advantage. The result is typically faster, more thorough, and more effective than DIY disputes.
ERC operates on a month-to-month basis. You can cancel at any time per our cancellation policy. We believe our results speak for themselves — we don't trap clients in contracts because we're confident you'll want to stay. Review our full cancellation policy for details.
When you reach your goal — whether it's a mortgage approval, funding access, or your target score — we celebrate with you, then make sure you're equipped to maintain and continue building your credit long-term. Many clients choose to stay enrolled for continued optimization and score maintenance even after their primary goal is achieved.
