Credit Counseling and Education
Our identity theft specialists will provide one-on-one education to help you understand your valuable credit rating and actions that are likely to have an impact on your credit score. Lenders and creditors check your financial info and submit their findings to your credit report. A bad credit score could lead to higher payments for products, loans, insurance, debts and mortgage applications. Additionally, your provider law firm can offer legal consultation on the laws surrounding credit scores and lending as well as draft letters on your behalf, and review documents up to 15 pages.
With this full-service credit approach, we review your expenditures to help you identify unnecessary spending habits that could negatively affect your credit. We look at your expenses to help determine if you are paying for services you don’t need. If you already subscribe to Netflix and Hulu, do you really need that third streaming service subscription? Are you paying for the premium phone plan when a cheaper tier will do? By analyzing your payments, we can help you trim the fat that could lead to bad credit.
