  1. Thanks for your publication. I would like to remark that the very first thing you will need to conduct is determine if you really need credit repair. To do that you will need to get your hands on a replica of your credit rating. That should not be difficult, because government makes it necessary that you are allowed to get one cost-free copy of your real credit report per year. You just have to request that from the right persons. You can either look into the website for the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the major credit agencies directly.
