Fake credit repair services are companies that promise to fix your credit for a fee, but often do not deliver on their promises. These companies often use deceptive tactics such as guaranteeing a specific result, charging high fees for their services, or promising to remove accurate information from your credit report. They may also use illegal tactics like creating a new credit identity, or falsely claiming to be associated with the government. Consumers should watch out for these companies, as they do not offer legitimate services and may result in additional financial harm.
