Are there any SERIOUS credit Experts out there?

This site is Great for information, yet are there Personalized professionals, that will look at my personal report, line by line  and tell me where and what steps need to complete in order to reach 800. Not the common,-  pay down balances, dispute errors. A service\professional with a proven track record -  that will go over my report with me line by line, and give direct direction on how to maximize my score

 

Thanks

Re: Are there any SERIOUS credit Experts out there?

What you are looking for is available here on this forum from the those with the most knowledge.  You'd have to provide detailed information of all your accounts (write it out, screenshots, whatever) but any number of people would be able to give you the answers you're looking for.

 

It really isn't all that complicated, though.  As you said, paying down balances big (1/3 of it) and while you said disputing errors I would revise that to removing negative items... that's another 1/3 of it.  That's 2/3 of the equation.  The rest is all pretty basic... don't open any new accounts or apply for credit unless it's needed and basically let time do its thing.

@izach26 - pretty much what @Anonymous mentioned above.  And, I'd like to think he's serious and professional.  He's been a tenured member for quite sometime so his experience is vast.  I'm not sure you can afford him, though 😆 j/k.

I think about the closest you could get to a legitimate organization that does what you're asking is a non-profit credit counseling service, but those are focused more on credit recovery than profile optimization.  I imagine there are business out there that would claim to do what you're asking, but I'd be wary of them since 1) FICO scoring algorithms are proprietary, so they can't know more about it than anyone else and 2) what people outside of FICO do know is available online for free.  It's also been my experience that financial services professionals in general are pretty ignorant of score mechanics, and best case scenario the advice you might get from one would be what you would read on Credit Karma.  If you want to raise your score, you can’t really do better than researching score mechanics yourself and asking the advice of the many knowledgeable posters on this forum.

There's nothing a so called expert can give or say that cant be found here through not only common sense but actual experience through the vast experience by many members here.  Some of our Mods have years of experience and i would adhere to much of their advice being that their profiles prove it works. And its freeSmiley Wink

 

A person can achieve 800 scores simply by payingvtheir bills/ credit cards/ loans etc on time. Dont need 50 cards either. If you have questions about whats plaguing your profile, just post a question.  And there are actual experts here in regards to fico scoring or legalese in many different forums, some even legendarySmiley Wink

I just googled credit specialist and got a lot of hits, of course they all want $$ to advise you. 

I think you meant to ask for free credit specialists of which this site has many who are willing and able to help.

The so called experts .. are always glad to take your money,

but the one caveat >> nothing is guaranteed once paid.

 

The advice given on this forum is priceless.
