  • What makes 7 Steps to a 720 Credit Score different?

    Most credit services focus on removing negative items…even when those items are valid. This might give you a temporary boost, but once those items are verified, your score can drop all over again. (Plus, disputing valid errors can be illegal or unethical.) We take a different approach: We help remove real errors, then teach you how to rebuild your score around your past mistakes, using strategies that actually work and last.

  • What will I learn in this course?

    We cover everything from how credit scores are calculated to which types of accounts help you the most. You’ll learn how to rebuild your score after bankruptcy, avoid common mistakes, and understand your rights.

    Want hands-on help? The Credit Rebuilder Program gives you a guided path, with real results in as little as 6 months.

  • How long will it take to improve my credit score?

    You’ve probably heard it takes seven years. It doesn’t. Most students start seeing a real jump within 12 to 24 months. With consistent effort, a 720 score is possible in under two years, even after bankruptcy.

    Want to fast-track your results? Our Credit Rebuilder Program is designed to rebuild your score as quickly as possible, sometimes in as little as six months
