The Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) is a federal law that gives you important rights when working with any credit repair organization. Your Credit Legacy is committed to full compliance with CROA. This disclosure summarizes your key rights.
You have a right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report by contacting the credit bureau directly. However, neither you nor any credit repair company or credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report.
Your Rights Under CROA
- You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee, or receive it free under certain circumstances.
- You have a right to dispute inaccurate information yourself, at no cost, by contacting the credit bureau directly.
- You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the CROA.
- You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within 3 business days from the date you signed it.
