Home / Self Credit Repair Portal
Free Self-Service Tool
Repair your own credit, in the right order.
Everything a credit repair company does for you, you are legally allowed to do for yourself — for free. This portal walks the same six stages we walk with clients: pull your reports, find what's actually wrong, put it in writing, then rebuild. Four tools do the tedious parts — a tracker that remembers where you stopped, a builder for five kinds of letter, a log that counts down every 30-day deadline, and a calculator that tells you what to pay down first.
No Cost
Nothing to buy
This page is free and there is no account to create. Your reports are free too — AnnualCreditReport.com is the federally authorized source, and it never asks for a credit card.
Private
Stays on your device
Every tool here runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, saved to a server, or shared — it lives in this browser's storage until you clear it.
Honest
No magic erasing
Accurate negative information can't be removed by anyone, at any price. What disputes fix is what's wrong — and on most reports, something is.
The Six Stages
Check them off as you go.
Order matters. Disputing before you have documentation wastes your thirty days, and rebuilding before the errors are gone means rebuilding on a bad foundation. Your checkmarks are saved in this browser, so you can close the page and come back.

Stage 01
Pull & read all three
Each bureau holds a different file. An error on one is often absent from the other two — and the one you never pulled is usually the one lenders check.
Stage 02
Build your evidence file
A dispute is only as strong as what's behind it. Bureaus investigate faster when the proof arrives with the letter.
Stage 03
Dispute in writing
Mail creates a paper trail a phone call never will. Under the FCRA the bureau generally has 30 days to investigate, and unverified items must come off.
Stage 04
Handle collections carefully
Collections are where people lose the most money. Paying the wrong way can restart a clock or fund a debt that was never yours.
Stage 05
Rebuild the profile
Removing the bad is half the work. Scores are built by payment history and utilization, and both respond within a few statement cycles.
Stage 06
Monitor & protect
Credit isn't a project you finish. It's a file you maintain — and the fastest way to lose ground is to stop looking.
Letter Builder
Five letters. Fill in, print, mail.
Pick what you're trying to accomplish and the form asks only for what that letter needs — then writes it, citing the statute that puts the other side on a clock. It runs in your browser; nothing is submitted anywhere.
Your letter
Read it before you send it, edit anything that isn't exactly true, sign it by hand, and keep a copy with your certified mail receipt. Then log the send date so the deadline is tracked.
Dispute Log
The clock is the leverage.
A dispute the bureau can't verify has to come off — but only if you know when the thirty days ran out and can prove when you mailed it. Log each letter as it goes out and this table counts the days for you. It saves in this browser, like everything else here.
Nothing logged yet. Add your first letter above and the countdown starts.
| Item | Sent to | Mailed | Answer due | Status | Remove |
|---|
When a deadline passes with no answer, that's your moment: write again citing the date and the certified mail receipt, and file a CFPB complaint. Companies answer those in writing, and quickly.
Utilization Calculator
Know what to pay, and what it buys.
After payment history, nothing moves a score faster than the share of your revolving limits you're using. It's recalculated every time a statement closes, so this is the one lever that can pay off in a single billing cycle. Enter your totals across all cards and lines of credit.
Current utilization
—
Enter your totals and the targets appear.
- To reach 30%

Two things this can't see: utilization is also scored per card, so one maxed card hurts even when the total looks fine — pay that one first. And closing a paid-off card removes its limit from the math, which pushes the same balances to a higher percentage. Keep it open.
Where to Send It
The three addresses, and the free sources.
Dispute with every bureau that reports the item — fixing one does not fix the others. Send to the furnisher as well, so they can't re-report the same error next month.

Common Questions
What people ask first.
Does checking my own report hurt my score?
No. Pulling your own report is a soft inquiry and has no effect on your score, no matter how often you do it. The inquiries that can cost you a few points are the hard ones, from applying for new credit.
Can you remove a late payment that's actually mine?
Nobody can, and any company that promises to is selling you something it can't deliver. Accurate information stays for its reporting period. What comes off is what's inaccurate, unverifiable, or past its time — and on most reports there is something in at least one of those buckets. For an accurate late on an account you've otherwise paid well, the goodwill letter in the builder is the honest option: you're asking a human being for a courtesy, not asserting a right, and it works often enough to be worth a stamp.
What if the bureau says the item was "verified"?
That's not the end of it. Under Section 611(a)(7) you can require the bureau to describe the procedure it used — including the name, address, and phone number of whoever it contacted. That's the method-of-verification letter in the builder. A great many "verifications" are a furnisher clicking a button on an automated system, and asking how it was done is what surfaces that.
Should I pay a collection to get it removed?
Not before you've validated it. Ask for validation in writing within thirty days of first contact, confirm the amount and that the debt is really yours, and get any deletion or settlement terms in writing before you pay. Paying first and negotiating after leaves you with no leverage — and in some states a payment can restart the clock on a debt that was nearly unenforceable.
How long until my score actually moves?
Deletions can show up within a cycle or two of the bureau finishing its investigation. Utilization changes report when your statement closes, so a paid-down card can move things in a month — the calculator above shows exactly what that payment needs to be. History-based damage heals slowly; expect the real difference over six to twelve months of consistency.
Is my progress here saved to my account?
There is no account. The checkmarks, your dispute log, and anything you type into the letter builder live in your own browser's storage on this device, and nothing is transmitted. Use the same browser to pick up where you left off; clearing your browsing data clears it. If the log matters to you, copy it out and keep it with your certified mail receipts.
When is it worth having you do it instead?
When the file is complicated — identity theft, mixed files, a divorce, business debt tangled with personal, or a bureau that keeps re-reporting something you already corrected. Also when there's a deadline: a mortgage or an SBA application in sixty days is not the time to learn this. Book a review and we'll tell you honestly whether you need us.
Working toward an approval?
Credit is a means,
not the goal.
A clean report matters because of what it unlocks — a house, a truck, a line of credit for the business. If that's what you're aiming at, the credit work should be sequenced with your taxes, your books, and your funding package. That's the whole point of the Wealth Blueprint™.
Plain terms. This page is free educational self-help, not legal advice, and using it doesn't create a client relationship. We can't remove accurate information and we don't promise a specific score. You have the right to dispute directly with the bureaus at no cost.
