Over the past several years credit repair organizations have gained a bad reputation due to unscrupulous companies stating that they can clear your credit report. Clearing your report was not the problem, but stating that they could give you a clean credit report or a new credit file was. It is against the law to create a new credit file using a federal taxpayer identification number, or any number other than your own social security number. Credit repair companies are governed by a federal law called the Credit Repair Organizations Act, these laws state what services a credit repair company can legally offer to their clients.
