A useful next step
Ask which bureaus receive data, whether past payments are included, how errors are corrected, and what happens when service ends.
Keep the decision grounded
Check the actual account terms and a dated credit report when the issue involves reporting. No tool can guarantee a score, approval, or deletion of accurate information. Keep copies of any agreement or correction.
