Credit Repair and Funding Help in Palmetto
We help people and small business owners fix errors on their credit reports, raise their credit scores and get ready for personal funding or small business funding. We meet at our office or by phone and video, and we work with clients in Palmetto, Bradenton, Ellenton and nearby.
What Affects the Cost
No two credit files look the same, so we don't quote a flat number before we see yours. The price depends on how much work your reports need and what you want to qualify for. Here is what moves it.
We go over your reports and goals by phone, then explain what the work involves and what it costs before you agree to anything. Nothing starts until you understand the plan.
- Number of disputed items
- A file with two wrong late payments is a lighter job than one with collections, charge-offs and mixed-up personal details across all three bureaus.
- How many rounds it takes
- Some items come off after the first dispute. Others need follow-up letters, more documents or a second look after the bureau responds.
- Type of funding you want
- Getting ready for a personal credit line is different from preparing for small business funding. Business funding often means looking at time in business, revenue and how the business is set up.
- Your timeline
- If you need to be ready for a lender by a certain date, we plan the work around it. A tighter window can change how the work is sequenced.
- How much you handle yourself
- Some clients gather their own statements and letters. Others want us to take more of it on. Both are fine, and it shows in the plan.
What We Help With
Most clients come to us for one of three things. Credit repair is where we find wrong, outdated or unverifiable items on your credit report and dispute them with the bureaus. Personal funding is help lining up loans and credit lines once your file can support them. Small business funding helps owners find the right kind of capital for the stage their business is in.
Credit Repair
We go line by line through your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion reports, dispute the errors and track every reply until the file is clean.
Personal Funding
We look at your credit the way a lender will, clean up what we can and help you apply for personal loans or credit lines when your file is ready.
Small Business Funding
We review your personal and business credit, fix what is holding you back, and help you apply for funding your business can actually carry.
How We Work With You
We run this the way we would want it run for a neighbor. That means plain talk, real paperwork and no promises we can't keep.
- We read your actual reports
- We go through your reports from all three bureaus line by line. Late payments, balances, account dates and personal details all get checked. You see what we found before any dispute goes out.
- You get a written plan
- After the first talk you know which items we plan to dispute, why, and what you can do on your side. Paying down a card or adding the right account can matter as much as any dispute letter.
- We tell you what can't be removed
- Accurate, current information usually stays on a credit report. We say so up front instead of selling you a program you don't need.
- Funding talk starts early
- If your goal is a business line of credit or a personal loan, we plan around that from day one. The order of the work changes depending on what the lender will look at.
- Updates you can follow
- When the bureaus answer a dispute, we go over the results with you. You always know what changed and what comes next.

A Small Local Office That Picks Up the Phone
Credit Repair Palmetto is a local business serving people and small business owners across Manatee County. Some clients come by our office. Plenty of others prefer a phone or video call, and that works just as well.
We keep things simple. We look at your reports, tell you honestly what we can work on, and put it in writing. When you call, you talk to someone who knows your file and can tell you where things stand.

Questions People Ask Us
Can you remove accurate negative items from my credit report?
Usually not, and we won't pretend otherwise. The law lets you dispute items that are inaccurate, outdated or can't be verified, and that's where we focus. Accurate items tend to stay until they age off. We help you build positive history so they matter less over time.
How long does credit repair take?
It depends on your file. Bureaus generally respond to a dispute within about 30 days, and many files need more than one round. Some clients see changes in the first couple of months, while files with more items take longer. We give you a realistic timeline once we've seen your reports.
What if nothing gets deleted?
We offer a 100% refund if there are no deletions while you are actively in credit repair with us. We'll explain how that works during your consultation so you know exactly where you stand.
Can you help me get business funding?
Yes. We help small business owners look at what lenders will check, get the personal and business credit side in order, and find funding that fits the business. We can't promise approval, because the lender makes that call. We can help you apply prepared instead of guessing.
Will working with you hurt my credit score?
Disputing items does not lower your credit score. Reviewing your own reports doesn't count against you either. When it's time to apply for funding, we help you choose carefully so you don't stack up hard inquiries.
Do I need to come to your office?
No. You're welcome to meet us in person, but most of the work can be handled by phone or video. You can send us your documents and we'll walk through everything together.
What should I have ready when I call?
Just a rough idea of your goal and any letters or notices you've gotten from creditors or collectors. If you have recent copies of your credit reports, that helps too. If not, we'll show you how to get them.
