This Agreement is entered into as of   (the “Effective Date”) between the Consumer named above and ScoreBoost (the “Organization”).

1.  Full and Detailed Description of Services

The Organization will perform the following services on the Consumer’s behalf under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Metro 2® reporting format, and applicable law:

  • Obtain and review the Consumer’s credit reports from the three nationwide credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion).
  • Audit each tradeline and public record against the Metro 2® data standard to identify information that appears inaccurate, incomplete, unverifiable, or obsolete.
  • Prepare, mail, and track dispute and reinvestigation requests to the credit bureaus and, where appropriate, to the furnishers of the information.
  • Document the outcome of each dispute round and provide the Consumer with before-and-after reporting so that every change is verifiable.
Guarantees of performance: None. The Organization does not guarantee any specific result, any increase in any credit score, or the deletion or modification of any specific item. Accurate, current, and verifiable information cannot be removed. Results vary from consumer to consumer.

Estimated time to perform: Dispute rounds follow the credit bureaus’ statutory reinvestigation cycle of approximately 30–45 days each. The Organization estimates that the services described above will be performed over a period of approximately   (e.g., days / months), continuing round-to-round until the engagement is completed or cancelled.

2.  Terms and Conditions of Payment

No fees payable to the Organization. The Organization charges the Consumer $0 — no advance fee, no signup fee, and no fee for auditing, disputing, mailing, or results. The only amount the Consumer pays in connection with these services is a third-party credit-monitoring subscription, disclosed below because it is a payment “to any other person” under 15 U.S.C. § 1679d(b)(1).

ScoreBoost receives none of this payment except any disclosed referral arrangement, if applicable. The amounts stated above are the total of all payments the Consumer will make to the Organization or to any other person in connection with the services under this Agreement.

3.  Consumer Acknowledgments

  • The Consumer may dispute inaccurate information directly with the credit bureaus, on the Consumer’s own, at no charge, without hiring the Organization.

Consumer Credit File Rights Under State and Federal Law

Statement required by 15 U.S.C. § 1679c(a), furnished as a separate document and reproduced here for the Consumer’s file.  View / print the standalone signed copy →

You have a right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report by contacting the credit bureau directly. However, neither you nor any 'credit repair' company or credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. The credit bureau must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over 7 years old. Bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years.

You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee. There is no fee, however, if you have been turned down for credit, employment, insurance, or a rental dwelling because of information in your credit report within the preceding 60 days. The credit bureau must provide someone to help you interpret the information in your credit file. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report if you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the next 60 days, if you are a recipient of public welfare assistance, or if you have reason to believe that there is inaccurate information in your credit report due to fraud.

You have a right to sue a credit repair organization that violates the Credit Repair Organization Act. This law prohibits deceptive practices by credit repair organizations.

You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit repair organization for any reason within 3 business days from the date you signed it.

Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur.

You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit file. The credit bureau must then reinvestigate and modify or remove inaccurate or incomplete information. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the credit bureau.

If the credit bureau's reinvestigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement to the credit bureau, to be kept in your file, explaining why you think the record is inaccurate. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.

The Federal Trade Commission regulates credit bureaus and credit repair organizations. For more information contact:
