Consumer credit file rights under state and federal law
Refresh Consulting is a credit repair organization as defined under the federal Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1679 et seq. 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. The credit bureau must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over 7 years old, and bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years.
You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee, and there is no fee if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days. You are also entitled to a free copy of your report from each nationwide bureau every 12 months at annualcreditreport.com. You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organizations Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations.
Before any services begin, you will receive the required written statement "Consumer Credit File Rights Under State and Federal Law" and a written contract that describes the services to be performed, the total cost, and the estimated time to complete them. You may cancel that contract without any penalty or obligation at any time before midnight of the third business day after you sign it. We do not charge or receive any payment for services until those services have been fully performed.
