Here is my Story : In 2009 I was late on my mortgage and over 50K in debt . My home was foreclosed on . I hung on trying to make payments on the cc debt to no avail. Over the next few years, I tried myself and also lost hundreds of dollars on companies that claimed to be able to clean up my credit they were no help at all . In 2012 , my wages were being garnished and I was getting calls and letters from collectors daily . I finally declared bankruptcy , my lawyer included membership in 720 Credit Score course. I followed it to the letter. I am now 10 yrs out and my current credit score is 750 + consistently , I have not had a late payment on a card or loan , I own my own home and 2 rental properties . My credit utilization is under 7% monthly and I have 6 months of emergency funds in the bank. My mortgage is under 3% and I bought a new car last year with 0% financing for 5 yearsPlease take this course it is the best thing you can do for yourself and your finances !!!!Thank you Mr.Tirone and 720CreditScore. com

This program helped me tremendously. After my bankruptcy was discharged, my attorney recommended and referred me to the program to get me started on the road to recovery after bankruptcy. I followed all the steps in the program and it’s not only helped my credit improve, but I’ve learned a lot about credit itself. It’s only been 8 months since my discharge, but my credit score has gone from 640 to 725 by following this program. I recommend this program to everyone, from those who went through bankruptcy to anyone who needs a lesson in credit management. Excellent program.

I truly am grateful to the program it has educated me on areas of credit I was not aware of in my 50 years of living. I would definitely recommend it to others to educate, and refresh others about credit worthiness.

From the start, every contact was perfect, never put on hold, spoke with a very knowledgeable representative, they kept everything that is very intimidating to me very easy assuring me that it'll be ok. The app was so easy it was bullet proof.

The things I have learned with this program have helped emensely! I raised my husband's credit score 87 points in less than 3 months and it just keeps going up. I have raised mine 70 points in the same amount of time. I have learned so much, and I'm so grateful! I highly recommend for anyone who is starting over, starting out, or just needs to learn the process of credit scores!

I'm still on the the road map. It's easy to follow because it's all mapped out for you and it really works. You just need to be committed and stay the coarse . Thank you
