The Bad
- Limited Website Information
- No Online Credit Resources
Limited Website Information
Although Credit 1 USA does provide some information on its website regarding its credit repair services, the company does not disclose much information about its refund/money-back guarantee policy, its credit repair process, or its consultation fees/process. These topics are typically addressed on credit repair company websites. Customers must contact the company directly in order to obtain this important information.
No Online Credit Resources
Credit 1 USA does not appear to provide helpful online credit education resources. Meanwhile, the majority of companies in the credit repair industry clearly offer these types of online resources to all website visitors. The company also does not appear to have 24/7 customer support services in place.
The Bottom Line
Credit 1 USA offers four credit repair options that potential customers can sign up for. These options include bi-weekly, monthly, 4-week, and weekly credit repair programs. According to the company’s website, its offered credit repair programs include a “credit repair disputing service, debt settlement/management, and credit building coaching.” Each credit repair option is fairly affordable and all credit repair program sign-up fees cost only $1. Credit 1 USA also provides a 14-day free trial for its credit repair services and offers additional services including credit monitoring and identity theft repair.
Credit 1 USA, however, does not provide any online educational credit resources on its main website and does not offer enough upfront information regarding its credit repair process, its refund policy, or its credit consultation process. Those who are interested in Credit 1 USA’s credit repair services should visit the company’s website, contact the company directly, and read several Credit 1 USA customer reviews to learn more about what Credit 1 USA has to offer.
