The company is a fraud. Continues to take customers money and do little to no work. No one is on the same page. Company charging customers for service that could be complete for free. I see why they were previously under federal investigation. They will not get away with mistreating customers and agents.Initial Complaint

I joined this company through an agent and have been misled about the company and their practices. I was doing my own credit repair and was told that this company does it for you. Sending out letters on your behalf, offering lawyer services, etc. The consumer has to do their part. I did my part. Letters sent out. No response. transunion says "doesnt look like you" I sent letters again myself with valid ID, waiting. No response from Experian or Equifax. My BK was deleted because it aged off. Nothing has changed. Even credit bureaus dont show any open disputes on my file. Now I am being told to call in. I asked BEFORE signing up what sets this company apart from doing it myself or another company. I was promised a refund if nothing changed. Of course almost 500 dollars later, the back tracking is happening. The agent and the company falsely represented themselves to get me to join. Suddenly half way through the process my account changes to my having to send out letters on my own. The company encourages you to send out letters with tracking but when I asked for my own tracking to have a leg to stand on with the credit bureaus, they say they sent them but with no tracking. The website says otherwise. I was offered a free month going forward. How convenient. I was told that I could get a refund and I want the company to make good with that promise. I get ***** taken every month for nothing. This is so disappointing that I was promised so much but what this is a fancy website with Vantage scores and templates that lend more to DO IT YOURSELF. Yet with a ***** price tag.Business response

This customer was fully refunded on 9/22/2023. Even though this customer was enrolled on 6/13/2023 and we have sent 2 rounds of dispute letters and customer did not follow the recommended steps regarding the services. This customer had results in one of *********** and that is the only report we received from the customer. We should have had 6 reports in total. This customer was even offered free service and a personalized consultation call, which customer never took advantage of.Customer response

I signed on with United Credit, whom stated they would help repair my credit. They were paid $99 monthly for a year, I was told by an agent my credit was repaired and I just needed to get a secured credit card.(October 2021) In January of 2022 I called the agent to cancel my account due to my credit score was not changing. Recently I applied for a loan, to find out the same items that were on my credit report last year still remained. When I notified the agent five times she stated she would look into it and maybe they would need to issue me a refund of some sort. I have been trying to contact her recently and now there is no returned calls or responses to my text messages.Business response

I signed up for Credit Repair with United Credit Education Services. Paid all fees/membership dues totaling $200 and I now have no access to my services that they provide with my membership and I can't get anyone on the phone to resolve this matter. All online links are not valid and the two phone h=numbers I have for UCES don't work. I would like to be fully refunded since they didn't help with my credit at all and I can no longer access my dashboard/profile with their company.Business response
