credit repair As a business ??

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Go to creditboards.com . There are many legal ways to remove negative items.

I never heard of them.   
While you are there read up why these places are scams!!!

While you're there, read up on the legal ways to do it. Just because there are scam businesses out there, it doesn't mean the entire industry is a scam. Most things have a correct/legal way of being done.

That's like saying there is an honest collection agency out there. Possible but highly unlikely.

You missed my point. Just because many credit repair businesses are scams - why shouldn't the OP start such a business? Like someone said earlier, he'll be known as the honest guy on the block.

How will someone know that when the industry as a whole is a bunch of scammers?

How does someone know which used car store is the honest one?

You mean like miles brokers? How did that work out last year with one of the major ones?

Does your supermarket allow you to owe them $1000?
Does your mechanic not charge you if he says the second hand car your buying (from someone else) is garbage?
Does your accountant tell you to use and online tax software when they do a better job for you?
Maybe because there is so much trust we have a few more scams, but a trustworthy business will get business based on trust alone.

We don't need to make this about any one community. This business is 99% scammers. My advice to the OP was pick a different business, that's all.

So called...in your words. And again, he trusted someone he shouldn't have.

You agree it's possible to remove most things from a credit report honestly?

Don't know the who, why, what or where. What I have been told by members here is they personally got screwed (not paid).

Some things but not most. Again you are all missing the point. This is a scammers business. Run as fast as you can.

You said that here.

Every repair business I have seen is a scam and 9 times out of 10 end up doing more damage. Go to creditboards.com for more info.

This is what people are having an issue with.

There is not much an honest one can do that you can't.

A regular person who messed up on their credit profile doesn't want to spend hours upon hours going through CB trying to decipher acronyms, writing letters to the credit providers and bureaus and phone calls to less than helpful reps in India.

He wants to pay someone a flat fee to have him clean it up, if there was someone out there who did it honestly he'd develop a good name for himself.

I said what I had to say and obviously some of you know individuals in this business and are sticking up for them. Anyone that wants to know anything about this business go to creditboards.com as they are the experts in this area. No need to believe anything I have said. If you can't spend an hour of your time reading up on this then you deserve to be scammed!!!

The people I know are the ones who don't have the patience to spend the time and end up paying one of the scamming companies, against my advice.

If there was a company that was honest I'd at least have someone to send them to when they inevitably say "I'm not doing this, who can I pay to do it?"

Again, I'm not saying CB isn't the correct way to do this, I'm saying people are lazy.

Many people don't understand this subject at all, or don't have time to learn it. I think if you look at it less as a product, and more as a counselor, it may help you understand. If someone knows the easiest ways to LEGALLY dispute or remove undesired marks, and I don't, I'd consider paying them for their advice. Similar to how you pay a doctor for his medical opinion, when if you knew what he knew and were able, you probably wouldn't.

There are dozens and dozens of mileage brokers from "the community" that you're speaking about.
Every single industry has a few bad apples.

And just to compare - the mileage broker business "outside of this community" is horror story.
