Are you worried about your credit report?
Are you eager for your credit report to be "cleaned-up" so lenders and landlords will have a better opinion of your financial responsibility and creditworthiness?
Tempted by internet ads that promise an easy fix to the pecuniary pickle that you find yourself in?
If you think that describes you, then take care.
Because the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is advising that the only people who will ever offer to remove all the negative details from your credit report are scammers.
In a posting on its blog, the FTC describes how it has shut down the dodgy practices of a group of businesses which deceptively advertised its services as a credit repair operation on social media and websites.
