My brother ended up paying $400 to Credit Repair Kings, thinking he’d get real hands-on help fixing his credit. But all they did was send him a few generic PDF dispute templates basically stuff you can find online for free with a quick Google search.
No personalized guidance, no actual follow-up just a bunch of copy-paste documents. He was beyond frustrated and honestly felt scammed. For that kind of money, he expected way more than a few canned emails.
