Looking for Credit Repair Services in Aurora

Just reaching out to see if anyone here has had good experiences with credit repair services in Aurora. A friend of mine is trying to clean up their credit before applying for an apartment and possibly financing a car later this year.

There’s a lot of noise online, and we’re trying to avoid any companies that overpromise or use shady tactics. Ideally looking for someone local who’s legit, communicates clearly, and actually gets results even better if they offer a free consultation or credit analysis up front.

If you’ve worked with a credit repair pro or agency in the Aurora area (good or bad), I’d really appreciate hearing how it went.
 
I worked with a guy named Marcus at Mile High Credit Repair. Local, super transparent, and gave me a free credit analysis before I even signed up. He didn’t promise overnight results, which I appreciated. Took about 4 months, but my score jumped 89 points and I ended up getting approved for an auto loan with decent terms. Not miracle work, just solid, consistent help.
 
Honestly i’d be wary of any credit repair service. Most of what they do you can technically do yourself disputes, debt validation letters, all that. That said i get it if your friend doesn’t have time or doesn’t know where to start. Just be careful and read the fine print. Some of them are shady AF.
 
I used Clean Credit Solutions near Havana St. and i was pleasantly surprised. They walked me through everything, were patient with my million questions and didn’t make me feel dumb. My score improved enough to get me into a better apartment within 3 months. Didn’t feel scammy like others i looked into.
 
Following this been trying to fix my credit too. Half the companies i talk to sound like used car salesmen on speed. One dude literally promised me 150 points in 30 days. If anyone’s had experience with someone real, drop those recs.
 
If your friend’s got collections make sure whoever you hire helps strategize which ones to settle, which to dispute, and what to leave alone. A good credit pro should guide that not just send blind disputes and hope for the best. Also local doesn’t always mean better. Some nationwide services are legit too, just harder to vet.
 
I actually run a small credit coaching biz here in Aurora. Not trying to advertise, just adding: always ask for a consultation call first. If they pressure you right off the bat or won’t explain what they do…run. A proper analysis should be free or cheap. That’s standard.
 
I used Sky Blue and while they’re not Aurora-based, they were straight shooters. $79/month and they didn’t make big promises. I kinda wish i found someone local to walk me through in person though. It’s intimidating.
 
Yo if your homie needs help asap for an apartment, have them pull their reports and look for easy fixes like wrong addresses, duplicate accounts, etc. That stuff’s easier to clean than charge-offs or late payments. Repair services can help but usually slow AF.
 
Not sure about Aurora but my brother used Lexington Law and had mixed results. He saw progress but it took almost a year and cost a fortune. He probably could’ve done it with a cheaper service or even DIY if he knew what he was doing.
 
I’m not saying all credit repair is a scam…but a lot of it is marketing fluff. A good budgeting plan and secured card did more for me than any service ever did. And that’s free. Just saying.
 
Have your friend check if they’re eligible for Experian Boost or other reporting tools before hiring anyone. Sometimes small things like that + paying down a credit card by 10% can shift their score just enough for a lease.
 
Been doing this game for years (mortgage lender). What matters: remove inaccuracies, pay revolving debt down, don’t close old accounts, and never pay collections without negotiation. If a credit repair company isn’t teaching that, they’re just burning time and money.
 
LMAO one guy i talked to in Aurora literally told me he could erase all bad history permanently. Bro thought he was Thanos with a delete button 😭. I walked out mid-consult.
 
Echoing what others said focus on timeline. If they need an apartment in 2–3 months, prioritize accounts with errors that are likely to come off quick. Don’t waste time on 7-year-old medical debt that’ll fall off soon anyway.
 
A lil late to this thread, but I worked with someone named Lacey from Rise Financial (based near Denver Tech Center, but they cover Aurora). Very professional. Emails always on time. Gave me homework too which kept me engaged. Score jumped 70 pts in 6 months.
 
Honestly Start with Credit Karma or Experian app. They both give score simulations and point out negative items. Once you’ve got that roadmap, then consider calling a service. No point paying for what’s free.
 
Not local but i used Credit Saint and it worked decently. They did refund part of my fee after 3 months with no changes, so i at least respected that. If you’re sticking to Aurora, I’d ask a local realtor they usually know who’s real and who’s fluff.
 
Your friend’s timing is solid. Mid-year is perfect for reviewing credit. Many landlords look at VantageScore, not FICO so it’s worth asking the apartment complex which score they pull too. You’d be surprised how often that changes strategy.
 
I work at a coffee shop in downtown Aurora and see a lady come in with clients for credit consultations all the time. Think her name is Patrice. Folks seem happy with her. Might be worth looking up?
