The Good

  • Money-Back Guarantee 
  • Free Consultation 
  • Seven Step Process
  • Educational Resources 

Not only does CRE Credit Services operate in full compliance with the Federal CROA and Texas State CSO regulations, it is registered and bonded for clients' protection. Some additional highlights about CRE Credit Services are as follows:

Money-Back Guarantee

CRE Credit Services stands by their promise to produce results with a 100 percent money-back guarantee.

Free Consultation

Potential clients have the option for a free consultation during the signup process. During this, each client gets an in-depth analysis of their credit reports, with no obligation to work with the firm.

Seven Step Process

As stated above, CRE Credit Services has a unique 7-Step System used to repair clients' credit. It is designed to be used over six months but the firm has stated that some clients see results in as little as 30-45 days.

Educational Resources

The Bad

  • Time in Business 
  • Hours of Operation 

CRE Credit Services has many great benefits to its services, such as its unique 7-Stage Repair Process, developed by a former member of the Experian team. However, they do have a few drawbacks to note:

Time in Business

CRE Credit Services has only been in business six years, making them relatively new to the credit repair industry. Some companies have been in business well over 10 years, giving them more experience.

Hours of Operation

CRE Credit Services operate 8 am to 7 pm Central Time while some companies operate until 9 or 10 pm. This can be somewhat limiting to clients.

The Bottom Line

Overall, CRE Credit Services has a unique 7-Step Process for improving their clients' credit. The firm states that on average clients will see 50+% of deletions removed in 30-45 days and 75+% within six months. In addition, they are staffed with licensed attorneys and have a money-back guarantee. And although the company's price is quite high, it is transparent about it.

7 months ago, I was told by numerous banks and lenders that I did not qualify for a home loan, nor would I ever. I then was referred to Chad Campbell at CRE Home Solutions. I gained so much insight, knowledge and direction from the guidance of Chad in our initial conversation, that I knew CRE was my only hope of ever becoming a home owner. CRE Home Solutions well exceeded my expectations! Not only did they delete 99% of the negative items off my credit report, Chad coached me all the way into my beautiful new home. Words cannot express how THANKFUL I am for Chad Campbell and CRE Home Solutions… I have a new quality of life! CRE Home Solutions is the BEST in the business!!!

Janet Carrollton, TX

I had had experience trying credit repair by myself before working with Cre but I was never able to keep a negative off my credit report. I would get one removed and a month or so it would show right back up again. This repeatedly kept me from getting a decent home. My friend finally told me to try cre. I was skeptical at first considering how I had tried and tried and was never able to accomplish anything myself and also I noticed that they do charge more than some other companies I had heard about but on the recommendation of my friend i decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did. Within 6 months they were able to remove all the accounts that were keeping my score down and it has been another 6 months since I completed the program and still all the accounts are gone. I must say I extremely grateful to CRE for getting me through this and the money was well spent.

I really can't thank CRE enough for all of their help. My husband got laid off several years ago and it was so unexpected, but the economy got very bad and despite working for a large company he was not immune. In addition, I went through medical problems around the same time and that caused a lot more problems. Finally, my husband found a great job and I got past my medical problems, but it took us a while to recover from the debt and our credit was terrible. Everything had changed so quickly and so unexpectedly that we felt lost. We had lost our house and we were renting for a few years. I knew I couldn't get a house, but I was determined to one day get a home again for our family. I decided to call and talk to a financial planner and he had me sit down with a mortgage friend of his and they advised me to call CRE Credit Services and start working on our credit. They both had told me we had a ways to go, but we needed to call them and learn about our credit and see what they could do to help us as well. I have to say it was the best decision of our lives. After the consultation with them I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. My husband and I felt happier again and we felt hope so we did everything they told us and now as of March of 2013 we got rid of our debt, both of our credit scores are around 700, and we closed on a house! It was a dream come true and if you have experienced anything similar I recommend you start with one of their consultations as we did. They were recommended to me and it may sound silly, but they changed our lives. Jordan Hallowell

I have tried several credit repair companies in the past and a couple that were ranked high on this list and they got no results for me. I was very cautious about moving forward with another company again as I felt I had wasted so much money in the past. I heard about the experience of this company from my cousin who is a loan officer who sends his clients to them. I reluctantly gave them a shot and they did everything they said they would. I am very happy I took the chance on another company. I got a new car last month and we moved into our new house in March of this year! I highly recommend CRE.

September 2016 after getting the news that the landlord was selling the house I was renting, I was once again looking for a place to live. I had bad credit so everyone was turning me away. I was so scared that my family would be homeless, not because we couldn't afford it but because of my credit. Just 4 days before I had to be out of the house I found a home. In Oct. 2016 on my way home from work I got a call from a number I didn't recognize and I answered which I never do. A gentleman named Chad C started talking to me about fixing my credit, at this point I would usually hang up but I didn't. Not only did I hear him out I signed up. 10 months later on Aug. 11, 2017 my husband and I closed on our house. Chad C from CRE is awesome! he is very knowledgeable and will guide you every step of the way. My life has changed for the better in so many ways.

I had a great experience with CRE. Before I signed up I had all this stuff on my credit reports that didnt even belong to me. I couldnt even get qualified from one of those cheap used car dealerships that approve anyone. After 6 months with CRE i was able to finally get a car from a manufacturer approved dealer and for a great rate. I loved my results with CRE and the customer service was great especially for someone like me who probably called too much with a lot of questions. :P I have already started telling my friends about CRE

I did extensive research on this company and many others before making a decision and I can tell you they are by far the best. One of the owners speaks all around the country at the top mortgage conventions as a keynote speaker. I just went to one of them in Oregon before making a decision and this guy knows a lot. He is from Experian and these guys are the best. A lot of the mortgage people there said they use them there as well and get people qualified for them. I am looking forward to working with them and I know I made the best decision.

I was lucky to find this company. I had been trying for at least years to dig myself out of a hole with my credit with no luck. A friend had me call CRE Credit Services and I am glad I did. They were able to remove 12 of the 13 negatives on my reports and that was enough to get my score into the 700s. Now im finally looking for a new home for my family. I cannot say enough great things about this company.

This company is great! I tried other credit repair companies and didn't have a lot of success. I did a lot of research and found that these guys were the best. They had the experience and a money back guarantee so I tried them.

It has truly been helpful working with to Chad and CRE on getting my credit back on track. Chad has always responded to my calls and emails. Also, Chad took him time to explain the process on rebuilding my credit. Just after 60 days working with CRE my score jumped by 100 points. If you are looking for a company that will help you rebuild you credit, CRE Home Solutions is that company.

Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this company and many others that promise to help you fix your credit by deleting negative accounts such as car repos, etc... CRE is a complete fraud. They will promise and GUARANTEE that they will delete all negative accounts. They might delete some easy accounts such as credit inquiries and some late payments and that's about it. If you have a car repo, tax lien, foreclosure or medical bills.... don't even dream that they will delete those accounts. Again please don't believe them. The only thing that is guarantee is that you will lose a lot of money if you decide to go ahead and do business with them.

This company CRE Credit Service is a ripoff they promise they going to eliminate collection account and they only delete stupid account and credit inquiries from your credit but the most important one with the high potential they will never delete those account , car repo, medical bill, tax lien, etc .. when i call to obtain information on how they work.. the rep make me a lot of promise that he really convince me it cost me over 1600 for nothing , at the end the more important account never got delete , all they do is send dispute account never was delete my car repot , my medical bill, 2 account that i have in collection from TMOBILE over 1700 , and federal and state tax lien .. they Finish all the process and told me there is nothing else they will be able to do.. they lie to me after they got the money pay , now they coming that there is nothing else they wll be able to do.... there is about 5 account the more important one they never delete those account..

Do not use this company. They make you feel like you're fine with the easy stuff then with the hard stuff you get screwed and get bad advise along with garnishment of all your wages and cars. They of course on a Friday they aren't available to help when the companies are obviously available and willing to take money you were promised was safe by CRE. "They'll take care of it"... no they won't. Find a better company with better ratings. Once you look for a company like this then it just stirs up a buch of stuff that they aren't willing to handle as promised. Seriously... go the other way!!!!!!

They did get stuff off my credit but they defiantly did not deliver what they promised. I did the full 6 months, and my credit score did not improve in fact it went down. They removed my mortgage that was paid off, because in had one 30 day late payment. I would go with Lexington law they are much cheaper and do the same thing. They also promise to refund you for anything they do not remove that is a lie they will do some special math and tell you they don't owe you anything. though their own graph tells them they left 53% of negative credit on your report . The point is there is no fast way to fix your credit and know one even knows how they come up with score.

Ok, so just to be clear. When you're a forgotten client, who stopped hearing from the company, all attempts at communication lead to dead ends, you've been told numerous times you'd hear from "Brandon" or other "managers" and have yet to.... were given no final result stats on your DUAL case you paid for (husband/wife).... have seen previous deletions made by CRE show back up on your credit (even though was promised they never would or could), as well as never having obtained ANY answers regarding some creditors that were being actively worked on when my account time was "up".... what exactly does this mean for their customers? "CRE Credit Services is the best credit repair company in the nation based on Customer Satisfaction, Results, and Experience, and we back it up with a 100% money back guarantee." I was a client that fell between the cracks back in 2011/2012. My case manager abruptly left the company & ultimately me hanging. After making repeated phone calls, leaving numerous voice mails & not understanding why he wasn't calling back, *I* finally decided to make contact with someone else & it was only then (over a month later) that I was informed he was no longer there & that a new case manager was handling my case. I heard from that person maybe all of twice? Then crickets. I received one generic email in the end showing some deletions that were made & then nothing. No further communication, no "this is what we accomplished for you" letter. No, "here's some advice to keep your credit strong" papers... NOTHING. I paid CRE LOTS of money to help my Husband & myself, and soon after the final payment was made- I heard NOTHING. I recently made contact again with Gary? Who then was in contact with Brandon again, said he would contact me, and NOTHING. No communication, at all. Again, several things have showed back up on our credit that was previously "deleted".... our credit scores never improved enough to attain our goal & CRE dropped the ball BIG TIME regarding my/our case & has done nothing to make it right. NOTHING. No offer to look into our credit again, no offer to amend the previous deletions- they won't even stay in contact after you call & have a very lengthy conversation explaining your concern of lack of contact. That's sad. I trusted this company & wanted so bad for everything to go smoothly & to be happy in the end. Trust didn't come by easy for me not only bc this service was expensive, but considering they obtain EVERY bit of personal information on you, that's scary to some. Not to mention when their case workers abruptly leave, knowing they've had access to all that information- you can imagine how that makes someone feel. In the beginning when I first started & began to feel comfortable with my original case worker (Chris Fritze) I referred several people to this company, as I was hopeful & excited to begin this process of credit repair. He spoke so highly of his position there & had open lines of communication ALL the time. I even had his cell phone number. I had goals & hopes of this program helping my family to obtain our dream of home ownership. Then Chris left. Without warning & without as much of a heads up to his clients. There was apparently no-one in line to pick up the pieces, or take over his active cases, so I fell between the cracks. And to this day, was left there. I can only hope at this point that anyone I referred had a much better experience than the outcome of my own. I did everything that was required of me, yet was given the excuse that between Chris' abrupt departure & the company "changing their systems" are the reasons I become forgotten. My point is, even in knowing that & even with active currently employed case workers having recently overlooked my case having told me they can see I fell through the cracks....CRE has still done nothing to make it right. So, CRE, if you claim to have a 100% satisfaction guarantee in place, and I am anything but satisfied- what do you (if anything) plan to do to make it right?? It would seem like to me that's false advertising. So, lets see if this gets their attention.....

I dealt with Jason S. Was told it was a money back guarantee. It is with strings attached. He also said that he had a good chance of removing my bankruptcy. They did not do that as well. Heck they cant even get a duplicate account with Ally off my account record. I am getting that done on my own. Anyway, credit repair is tough but these guys over sell their money back guarantee and their services. You are a lot better off to write the letters on your own and do it yourself. I wasted 1330 dollars for a 25 point boost that I did by doing things related to my credit on my own.

They offer a money back guarantee if your not satisfied with their service but do not give you the details, for example, that they charge for everything they do so they don't have to give you the refund. Additionally their customer service is horrible. I have tried to get them to give me contact info to try to get a home loan--which i cant do because they weren't successful in removing something they guaranteed to do...so I would not recommend spending your money.

Check the BBB's site and complaints made against this company. It seem that they lie to customers to get 1000. plus dollars(100.00 a month plus extra fees) then when the customer stops paying as no results seen in 4 months they claim warranty of contract is voided due to non payment and customer gets nothing back and no services. Looks like a scam to me. 26 complaints that say basically the same thing from clients over and over again.
