The Good

  • 4-Step Credit Repair Process
  • Helpful Tools and Services
  • Additional Resources

Credit Innovation Group has two membership options that consumers can choose from - the Gold membership and the Platinum membership. Each membership includes a 30-minute credit consultation, access to a mobile app, helpful tools, and more. It appears that consumers can only get credit repair services through the company's Platinum membership. 

4-Step Credit Repair Process

Credit Innovation Group offers the following four-step credit repair process: 

  • Step one — The company will analyze the client’s current credit situation and look at their credit reports.
  • Step two — The company will start the electronic dispute process. 
  • Step three — The company will wait to receive dispute responses from credit bureaus and will take further action if needed. 
  • Step four — The company will continue with disputes (as long as the client maintains membership status) if the targeted items haven’t been resolved within six months. 

As mentioned above, the Credit Innovation Group credit repair program can take about six months to get the best results. Since results can vary, some clients may take longer than others to go through the company's credit repair program. The company states online that it focuses on removing inaccuracies or misleading items that make include charge-offs, collections, late payments, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and repossessions.

Credit Innovation Group also acknowledges on its main website that each credit situation is different and that it cannot guarantee that clients will reach a certain credit score after going through its credit repair process.

Helpful Tools and Services

Unlike some other companies in the credit repair industry, Credit Innovation Group members are given a few extra helpful credit tools and services. 

In terms of tools, Credit Innovation Group provides all members with access to a member-only mobile app. The company also provides a Score Watcher tool that allows members to have anytime access to their credit scores and credit reports. Members can also use this tool to monitor their credit activity and to prevent identity theft or fraud.

In addition to tools, Credit Innovation Group offers a rewards program which can help members get discounts, cash back, and more. The company also offers a cashflow accelerator service that is designed to help members get out of debt. 

Additional Resources

Along with credit repair services and tools, Credit Innovation Group provides Platinum members with some helpful resources like a home guide and a credit-building guide. Members can use these guides to achieve their credit and financial goals.

The Bad

  • High Setup Fee
  • No Legal Assistance
  • Limited Website Information

High Setup Fee

Credit Innovation Group does charge a relatively high initial fee for its credit repair service.

To start the company's credit repair process, clients must pay a one-time fee of $149. Meanwhile, some other companies in the industry either do not charge a one-time fee or charge a lower one-time fee.

The combination of the company's $149 one-time fee plus its $99 per month subscription fee may be more than what some consumers are looking to pay in terms of credit repair services. 

No Legal Assistance

Credit Innovation Group does not appear to provide any legal assistance to clients as part of its repair process.

Many other credit repair companies in the industry have at least one person on staff who is available to help clients with their legal-related credit questions and concerns.

Limited Website Information

Although Credit Innovation Group does provide some information on its website regarding its prices and repair services, there is still a significant amount of important information that the company does not disclose online.

Clients who want to learn the details of the company's credit repair services, technology, refund policy, what pricing options are available, and what certifications the company's credit repair specialists have must contact the company directly.

The Bottom Line

Credit Innovation Group provides a straightforward credit repair process for $99 per month. The company’s credit repair program includes a 30-minute credit report evaluation and recommendation along with direct help from a dedicated credit specialist.

Credit Innovation Group also provides helpful tools and services such as a mobile app and rewards program. Additionally, the company provides those who have a Platinum membership with  resources that are designed to help members achieve improved long-term financial success.

Unfortunately, the company does appear to charge a relatively high initial fee in comparison to other companies in the credit repair industry. Credit Innovation Group also fails to disclose some important information on its main website regarding its repair services.

If you are looking for a credit repair program that includes additional services and tools, Credit Innovation Group may be the right fit for you. That said,  potential members like you are still highly encouraged to contact the company directly and read several Credit Innovation Group customer experience reviews to learn more about what the company has to offer since there is limited information available online.

CIG has helped improve my credit immensely and in just a matter of weeks and they’ve just begun. I have to say I was skeptical at first and thought I’d give it a try and cancel if it wasn’t what I thought it would be but they are worth their weight in gold!! I am more than impressed with my specialist at CIG, Hyrum T., because of the amount of work and improvement in my credit score that was all done within a matter of 5 weeks and he’s still on point, very professional and easy to talk to, and doesn’t beat around the bush. I can’t wait to see what the near future has coming but my score is increasing as I write this message thanks to CIG. Credit is an extremely important part of life in today’s world when it comes to renting/ leasing/ purchasing cars, homes, and even groceries and other necessities where a credit card might be useful. Even some employers will check into your credit so I must give praise to Credit Innovation Group (CIG) and, maybe more importantly, my specialist Hyrum T! Thanks again guys!! - Brian K. A.

Couldn’t be happier. Michael P and his team was diligent and aggressive when disputing my credit profiles. Easy and informative the entire time while displaying compassion with out any judgement. I would recommend them to family and friends
