Article Body:
You see the ads in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet. You hear them on the radio. You get fliers in the mail. You may even get calls from telemarketers offering credit repair services. They all make the same claims:
"Credit problems? No problem!"
"We can erase your bad credit-100% guaranteed."
"Create a new credit identity-legally."
"We can remove bankruptcies, judgments, liens, and bad loans from your credit file forever!"
Do yourself a favor and save some money, too. Don't believe these statements. They're just not true. Only time, a conscientious effort, and a plan for repaying your debt will improve your credit report.
The Warning Signs
If you should decide to respond to an offer to repair your credit, think twice. Don't do business with any company that:
* wants you to pay for credit repair services before any services are provided
* does not tell you your legal rights and what you can do yourself ? for free
* recommends that you not contact a consumer reporting company directly
* suggests that you try to invent a "new" credit report by applying for an Employer Identification Number to use instead of your Social Security number
* advises you to dispute all information in your credit report or take any action that seems illegal, such as creating a new credit identity. If you follow illegal advice and commit fraud, you may be subject to prosecution.
You could be charged and prosecuted for mail or wire fraud if you use the mail or telephone to apply for credit and provide false information. It's a federal crime to make false statements on a loan or credit application, to misrepresent your Social Security number, and to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service under false pretenses.
Scam artists are out in full force with all of the subprime mortgages and credit card debt. They like to prey on the weak and needy. Be careful.
