Jose and his wife didn’t wait for a miracle. They got to work:

• They paid off old debts.
• They cleared accounts and gathered payment receipts.
• They combed through every detail on their credit report.

But even after all that effort, doubt lingers:

“What if we’re still not doing enough? What if her credit doesn’t improve, and we lose our chance at a home?”

❌ The fear of being stuck—despite doing everything right—is overwhelming. 

Jose is not just trying to raise a credit score; he’s trying to secure a future where his family can feel safe, stable, and finally at peace.

Charlie's life took a difficult turn when he filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. After years of financial hardship, he fought his way through the process, and by December, he had officially paid off every last cent of his debt.

• He should have been free—ready for a fresh start.
• He should have been on his way to buying his dream home

But instead, Charlie found himself facing a harsh reality:

❌ His credit score was stuck in the low 600s—not high enough for mortgage approval.

❌ Old, inaccurate information from the bankruptcy was still haunting his credit report.

❌ 18 negative accounts were dragging him down—some of which were reporting errors.

❌ One account incorrectly showed a 60-day late payment that never actually happened.

Aalyiah’s life took an unexpected turn when she went through a divorce. Two years ago, overwhelmed by the emotional toll, she made a decision: She let everything go.

• Credit cards went unpaid.
• A repossession scarred her credit report.
• Medical bills from seven years ago resurfaced.
• A billing mistake from her phone company landed her in collections.

At first, she didn’t even check her credit. It was too painful. But when she was finally ready to move forward and buy a home, reality hit her hard.

❌ Credit Karma showed she had a 600 score.
❌ Her lender pulled her actual FICO score: 533.
❌ She needed at least a 620 to qualify for a mortgage.
