About Credit Repair Largo
Credit Repair Largo is a credit repair and funding firm in Largo, FL. Our clients are people and small business owners who need the information on their credit reports to be correct, and who want a realistic route to a loan, a credit line or business funding. Some meet with us at our office. Others handle every step with us by phone and video.
Our method is easy to explain and takes more patience than some people expect. We read each report, write down what is wrong, and walk you through it in plain language before we suggest any plan. Thousands of creditors and collection agencies send data to the bureaus every month, so reporting errors are common. A careful review separates the entries worth disputing from the ones that are accurate and should be left alone.
Credit Repair, Personal Funding and Small Business Funding
Most people who call us want one of three things: errors off their credit reports, money for a personal goal, or capital for a business. The three are connected, because the same report a lender pulls is the one we dispute. Our credit repair work targets inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable entries. Personal funding and small business funding come next, once the file can support the application you want to make.
Credit Repair
A line-by-line review of your three credit reports, written findings, and targeted disputes of the errors that are actually there.
Personal Funding
We read your Equifax, Experian and TransUnion files first, then show you which personal credit lines and loans your profile can realistically support.
Small Business Funding
We review your personal and business credit files first, fix what is holding you back, then match your company to credit lines and loans it can realistically qualify for.
Why Clients Start With Us
Credit work goes wrong when someone sells a program before reading the file. We do it the other way around.
- 01
We read the file before we quote a plan
A credit score is a summary. The causes sit in the tradelines, the collection entries, the inquiries and the personal information section. We go through each one and note what is accurate, what looks wrong and why it matters to a lender.
- 02
Plain findings you can check yourself
You get a list of what we found, item by item, with the bureau and the specific error noted. A duplicate collection reported by two agencies, a paid account still showing a balance, a late payment dated after the account closed. If the report is mostly accurate, we tell you that too.
- 03
Disputes based on reasons, not volume
Some firms send the same form letter for every negative item on every report. We dispute entries that have a real basis, such as a wrong date of first delinquency or a mixed file with someone else's account. Targeted disputes are harder for a bureau to dismiss as frivolous.
- 04
Funding advice that matches your file
Applying for credit lines your report cannot support adds hard inquiries and denials. We look at utilization, account age and recent inquiries first, then talk through which kind of personal or business funding makes sense to pursue and when.
- 05
No promises we cannot keep
Accurate, timely negative information can legally stay on a report, usually for seven years. We will not tell you otherwise, and we will not promise a set score or a lender's approval.

How Working With Us Runs
Every client goes through the same order of steps. The review always comes before the recommendation.
- 1
A phone consultation
You tell us what you are trying to accomplish, whether that is a mortgage, a car loan, a personal credit line or capital for your business. We explain how to pull your reports so we are reading current data.
- 2
The line-by-line review
We check personal information, every tradeline, collections, public records and inquiries on all three reports. We flag inconsistencies between bureaus, since a mismatch is often the clearest sign of a reporting error.
- 3
Findings and a written plan
We walk you through what we found at our office or by phone and video. If credit repair makes sense, you get a written plan listing which items we will dispute and on what grounds. If your file is ready for funding now, we say so.
- 4
Disputes and follow-up
We send disputes to the bureaus and, where it helps, to the creditors that furnished the data. As results come back, we review the updated reports with you and decide on the next round.
- 5
Moving toward funding
When the file supports it, we help you prepare for personal or small business funding so the application matches what lenders look for.
What Shapes the Cost of Your Plan
There is no single price for credit work, because no two files look alike. What you pay depends on what the review turns up and what you are trying to qualify for. We explain the cost by phone after we know what is in your reports.
We go over the findings first, then give you the cost of the plan we recommend by phone, before you agree to anything. You decide whether to move forward after you know what the work involves.
- Number of disputable items
- A file with two misreported late payments is a different job from one with a dozen collections, charge-offs and public record entries. Each item needs its own dispute basis and its own follow-up.
- Errors across all three bureaus
- Creditors do not always report to every bureau, and they do not always report the same thing. An error that appears on Experian but not TransUnion has to be handled bureau by bureau.
- Complexity of the problem
- Identity theft, a mixed file merged with a relative's records, or accounts that were re-aged after a sale to a debt buyer take more documentation and more rounds than a simple balance error.
- How long the program runs
- Bureaus generally have 30 days to investigate a dispute, and some items take several rounds. A longer file means a longer program.
- The funding you are after
- Personal funding and small business funding involve different preparation. A newer business usually leans on the owner's personal credit, while an established one also needs bank statements and revenue records lined up before applying.
Questions Clients Ask Before Starting
Something not covered here? (727) 739-2855
Can you remove accurate negative items from my credit report?
No honest firm can promise that. Under federal law, accurate late payments, charge-offs and collections can generally stay on your report for seven years, and some bankruptcies for up to ten. What we can do is dispute entries that are inaccurate, incomplete or cannot be verified by the company reporting them, and those are more common than most people think.
How long does credit repair take?
The bureaus usually have 30 days to investigate each dispute, sometimes a bit longer if you send additional documents. A file with a few clear errors may resolve in a round or two. A file with many items, or with identity theft, takes several rounds, and we tell you what to expect after the review.
Do you offer any refund?
Yes. If your reports show no deletions during the time you are actively enrolled in our credit repair program, we refund 100% of what you paid. We go over exactly how that works on the phone, so you know the terms before you sign up.
Will disputing items lower my credit score?
Filing a dispute does not count as a hard inquiry and does not lower your score by itself. When an inaccurate item is removed or corrected, your score is recalculated on the updated data. Applying for new credit is what adds hard inquiries, which is why we time funding applications carefully.
Can I get small business funding if my personal credit needs work?
Sometimes, but for many newer businesses lenders weigh the owner's personal credit heavily. We review your personal reports along with your business's time in operation and revenue records, then tell you plainly whether to apply now or fix specific items first.
Could I dispute errors on my own?
Yes. Anyone can send a dispute directly to Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. Clients come to us for the review itself, for dispute letters backed by specific reasons and documents, and for someone to track results across all three bureaus and plan the funding step.
What should I have ready for the first call?
Know what you want to qualify for and roughly when. If you have recent copies of your credit reports, keep them handy. If not, we will explain how to pull current ones before the review.
