I’m helping a friend in Laredo, Texas who’s looking to fix their credit and get things back on track before applying for a car loan later this year. We’ve been looking into credit repair options but would really prefer to work with someone local who’s reputable and knows what they’re doing.

There are plenty of services online, but it’s hard to know who actually delivers results and who just talks a good game. Has anyone here worked with a credit repair company or specialist in Laredo? We’re looking for someone who’s honest, transparent, and ideally offers free consultations or affordable plans.
 
My cousin worked with Rio Credit Repair on McPherson and had a solid experience. Took a few months, but they got a bunch of stuff removed. They’re not miracle workers, but they’re upfront about what they can and can't do. Worth checking out.
 
Hey, fellow Laredoan here! I tried out a local guy named Marco who runs a small credit repair shop near Del Mar. Super chill, explains everything, and does free consultations. Not the cheapest but pretty thorough. Hit me up if you want his number.
 
Be careful there are so many scams in the credit repair space. If anyone asks for full payment upfront, run. Laredo or not, always ask for proof of previous results and check their BBB profile. Google reviews help too.
 
We used a lady named Teresa who works with a local nonprofit. She doesn’t repair your credit for you per se, but she teaches you how to dispute and build it back. Honestly the most empowering option IMO.
 
I swear, my tia got roped into one of those we’ll delete all your bad credit in 30 days..... deals. Spoiler: They ghosted her after taking $400. Stick to someone who doesn’t make outrageous promises.
 
Try Laredo Federal Credit Union. Some local credit unions offer credit-building advice or even secured card programs that can help more than shady repair services. Way more legit too.
 
Not from Laredo but used Lexington Law online before and it was meh. Expensive and slow. Local could be better if you can find someone who cares. Avoid big names unless you’re out of options.
 
Honestly i’d look into Self or Kikoff as DIY options. Most credit repair companies charge $$$ to do what you can do with a few letters and some patience. But I get wanting help especially with a loan coming up.
 
I was super skeptical, but I found a guy named Eddie who operates from home but he’s LEGIT. Got my score from 510 to 670 in like 4 months. Dude’s responsive and even helped me budget.
 
Affordable AND reputable is a hard combo. But there’s a Facebook group called Laredo Small Biz Network where people share recs like this. You might find a hidden gem.
 
Don’t underestimate credit counseling from nonprofits. There's one tied to Catholic Charities in Laredo that offers financial literacy sessions + help with credit. Free or super cheap.
 
Some of y’all saying to just do it yourself like we all got the time and energy. Not everyone’s built to research FCRA laws after work. A good service is worth it if it saves stress.
 
I worked with Texas Credit Services (based in San Antonio but they help Laredo folks remotely). Pretty affordable and communicative. Just be prepared to follow up...it’s a process.
 
Why not try to combine both? Find a local rep to guide you, but also sign up for Experian Boost or open a secured card. Multi-angle approach worked wonders for me.
 
I feel like we need a Yelp for credit repair specialists lol. I had 3 consults and each one told me wildly different stuff. One said pay collections, another said don’t touch them. Who do i trust??
 
Check if your bank has any credit repair referrals. I bank with IBC and they connected me with a financial coach.....didn’t even know that was a thing. It’s free too!
 
Honestly i just watched YouTube videos and followed along with sample dispute letters. Cost me like $0 and 2 stamps. Not glamorous but it worked. Saved me a few hundred bucks.
