What is credit repair?

Credit repair is the process of identifying and disputing errors on your credit report to improve your credit score. It involves reviewing your credit reports from all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion), filing disputes for inaccurate items, and implementing strategies to rebuild positive credit history.
