The Good

  • Time in Business
  • No Monthly Fees
  • FICO Certified Credit Experts

Time in Business

Since North Shore Advisory has been in business since 1989, it has a developed brand as well as a loyal customer base. The company's many years in business also reflect its overall reputation and experience.

No Monthly Fees

North Shore Advisory does not charge its customers a monthly fee. The company only charges customers per successful change or deletion per bureau per account. This way, if customers are not seeing results, they will not get charged by North Shore Advisory.

FICO Certified Credit Experts

The company has multiple FICO certified credit experts who develop strategies for each individual customer's unique credit report taking into account what caused the credit to need repair. These experts do not overly repeat the same strategy. North Shore Advisory also does not take on clients it knows it cannot help.

The Bad

  • High Setup Fees
  • Steep Pricing Per Deletion

High Setup Fees

The setup fees for North Shore Advisory's services run anywhere between $300 and $550 depending on the situation of the client. It is a non-refundable fee. 

Steep Pricing Per Deletion

The company charges a rate of $125 per successful deletion/change. This rate is significantly higher than many other companies in the credit repair industry.

The Bottom Line

North Shore Advisory has a strong foundation in the credit repair industry, does not charge monthly fees, and has FICO certified credit experts. However, the company has high setup fees and has steep pricing for successful deletions.

Kerri R. Stamford, CT

While having a negative credit rating can be very stressful, my experience with North Shore Advisory has truly been positive. After going through some personal and professional challenges that impacted my previously perfect credit, I was looking for a group that could work with me to restore my credit score and put us in a position to be approved for a home mortgage. A friend and business colleague wholeheartedly recommended North Shore Advisory. My North Shore represenatative, Danielle, was awesome right from the start. She educated me on the entire process and what I could expect along the way so that I could be comfortable with the steps that they were taking. This was especially important as North Shore was calling creditors to dig into each account individually, which temporarily resulted in fluctuating scores. But the end result with each account over the months was an improved score!!! Over the course of 8 months, I have watched my scores improve by 80-100 points. I knew I was making progress when I applied for a few credit cards (which I had stayed away from doing for a long time), and I was instantly approved for all of them. What a feeling of relief I have to know that I am back on track with my credit, and ready to buy my dream home thanks to North Shore

Timothy Hughes Sudbury, MA

I hired North Shore in late 2019 on behalf of an international company and affiliates to help repair some credit issues. Tracy B at NSA was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. She clearly communicated fees in advance, and the rates were quite reasonable. Tracy then clearly explained and outlined the process and quickly came up with a game plan that made perfect sense. I couldn't been more impressed and satisfied with the service, and highly recommend Tracy and North Shore.

North Shore Advisory is the real thing. We've been using them for our manufactoring company for over 5 years, and their expertise in knowing how to bring-up and maintain high business credit scores is truly amazing. They know what to do, and when to do it. They are responsible and passionate in their pursuit of clients' credit scores which has led to lower cost lending for us, and larger amounts of credit given to us by our suppliers. As long as we are business, North Shore will be with us as a trusted partner.
