I didn’t know what to make of Credit Absolute or any credit repair company in general. I missed feelings about the whole thing: just the whole idea. However, once I started to buy in and really take in the advice both Derrick and Felicia Leslie was giving me my score jump. They were able to get things deleted so far! And it’s been an excellent service. I do look forward to speaking to Felicia every other month and getting their emails. The biggest thing to note with this company they are very genuine and really do CARE about you. And that’s what separates them from the other players in the credit repair playing field.

Me and my wife started with Credit Absolute a month ago and received a lot of helpful information and tips on the best way to meet our goal of becoming homeowners next year. We had a very detailed conversation with Derick setting expectations and next steps, and have been in constant contact with both Karina and Felicia in regards to any updates or changes that occurred during the process. In the first month I have had one collection removed and my wife had 2 removed as well. Very pleased with the results. If you have any questions when starting, don't be afraid to ask. This is one of the few times for which I made my decision to try a company I was not familiar with based strictly on other peoples reviews just like this one, and it was better than expected.

I’ve been working with credit absolute for only a couple short months now and in that time they’ve been extremely helpful and have been able to get my credit scores increased tremendously. I love the fact they are so upfront and clear about everything. I’ve worked with companies that I was just a number and never saw any results but with credit absolute I’m a person that they take the time to know and understand any and all of my credit concerns. I strongly recommend this amazing group of people and their service to anyone and everyone.

I met Derick years ago at a Real Estate Conference and was impressed then with his personality and sincere knowledge base of the credit industry. So impressed was I that I encouraged my real estate clients to use him if needed and each one had a favorable experience. Recently I too thought I could reach out to have him assist me with some personal issues regarding my reports. I have been overwhelmed by Derick's entire team and how well they communicate and take care of business. A complete class act from top to bottom/ left to right. I honestly don't see how they could do a better job.

Credit Absolute is great at working legitimately with clients to fix and remove negative information from credit reports. They also provide very helpful credit counseling and education. I highly recommend them and refer clients over to them.

Derick and his Team are just wonderful and have been so helpful answering all my Credit Issues.I reached out to them about being a few months behind with Credit Card payments, and Derick was totally honest that I don't even need his help, I have a good Credit Foundation and explained how I just need to contact my Credit Card Company. He did not try to sell me on his service, he said I can take care of this and fix my situation without his help just fine. But he was so kind to still took the time and answer any of my questions and concerns. I will definitely keep him in mind for future needs!

I highly recommend using Credit absolute. I’m just 2 months my wife and I, with so much help from them, have been able to see significant changes in our credit score. They have helped in advising us in different areas with credit cards and being able to leverage our credit. Thank you to this team and all the help they have given us.

I decided to go with Credit Absolute the end of May 2021 after reading positive reviews. I was skeptical at first, but like some others decided to give them a chance. I had tried other credit repair services in the past, but was looking to try a company that did more. I’m glad I did! Nothing but positive results thus far, their method seems to work as I’m getting negative items deleted and corrections updated to my file. Also, my credit scores have increased significantly. Really happy I chose Credit Absolute.

The folks at Credit Absolute have completely changed my life! They aren't the type to just "set it and forget it". They take on your individual case and go in depth to help you make the right moves to get your credit score up. Their attention to detail and responsiveness are unmatched to any other financial institution/advisor I have worked with in the past. I love the fact that we have monthly 1 on 1 reviews to go over my progress and to set next steps on how to keep improving (they also hold me accountable, which I need haha). If you are like me and never had much education on credit best practices, Credit Absolute will guide you step by step and they are always willing to answer questions or provide you with the resources you may need. They are a company who TRULY cares about their clients and it shows. I have been working with them for about a year now and not only has my credit score gone up significantly, but I now have the education I need to continue to make wise financial decisions in the future. I am glad to have Credit Absolute as apart of my "team" as I work towards my financial goals!

I was surprised by the results. It happened relatively quick and I was very impressed with the true professionalism. My credit has now improved to where my scores are up by over 100 pts and I was able to open two credit cards and start my way back to having great credit again. I highly recommend this company and will refer anyone who needs to improve their credit. Thank you team for all that you did and continue to do for me.

I started Credit Absolute in April 2020, we are now in the beginning of May 2020and my score has already increased tremendously. I was not expecting movement so soon! The team is very well versed and experienced in what they do, most importantly they love helping others get credit approvals and it shows. You are provided with a lot of resourceful videos to get an understanding of how credit works, the myths, and the methods to help you get back on track. In addition, the team is very attentive with updating you every step of the way, sending you emails of progress and setting up one-on-one sessions. I joined Credit Absolute to get me on track to purchase a home & I can easily see that happening sooner than I thought. I am grateful for their quality of business, it was the best decision I made.

After reading all of the great reviews about Credit Absolute, I decided to give them a shot. I do not regret that decision!When I first started out my credit score was below 500 with a TON of accounts in collections and late payments.. Fast-forward a few months, I'm now sitting at a 600+ credit score 80+ late payments removed, and I'm almost ready to buy a house. The whole team over at Credit Absolute have been so helpful in guiding and teaching me throughout this process.(A very special thank you to Felicia for being so welcoming and available to answer EVERY question I have ever had about credit.)A little advice to people contemplating on whether or not to join - DO IT.Initially, I was hesitant because some things just seem too good to be true, right? Wrong. It really is THAT easy.. These people go to bat for you and they LITERALLY do all of the work. You have nothing to lose. If you are looking for credit repair, you're here for a reason. If you don't do anything about it, nothing is going to change. Give them a chance. I wish I had done this years ago.

I’m so grateful for Credit absolute.From the very beginning speaking with Derick I felt at ease because he was so knowledgeable about how everything worked. Then there are his associate Felicia and Karina who have both been so great through this entire process doing monthly reviews so I can see first hand the progress and improvement. I will say it was a lot I didn’t understand about credit until I started with them and now I feel comfortable and equipped to better manage my credit successfully. Most importantly though is the fact I got real results! My credit score has went up almost 40pts since starting last summer and I honestly couldn’t of done it without this company. I still have a little ways to go but I’m confident I will almost A1 credit once I’m completed because it hasn’t even been a year and I’m seeing major improvements.

This company is awesome! They have a great team who are very straight forward and honest. They answer any and all questions you may have throughout the process. There are no surprises, they do a very great job providing all the information you need prior to any commitment. Derogatory items were removed and my credit score shot up in less than 5 months. Wow!

Credit Absolate is helping me get my credit score up. They have done by far a fantastic job. I couldn't be more happy with the experience and the customer experience is phenomenal as if your part of the family. They make sure you understand your credit usage and the educational videos are very clear. They are changing my life around. Just being with them for 2 months I got my score from poor to fair and dropped of some accounts from my cresit report. I cant thank them enough. Truly a success story

They are amazing! Not just Derk but the whole team is great. The videos they provide are so helpful. They just don't help you improve your credit score, they also teach you how to manage your credit score. If you have bad credit contact them 1st before you even start trying to fix your credit on your own!!!

I've tried a few other credit repair companies and Credit Absolute has provided the best service I've come across. In just over a year, they were able to get numerous items removed from my credit report. The process is simple, the staff is easy to work with, and the results are everything you'd hope for. If you are looking for help in your journey to financial freedom, do yourself a favor and give Credit Absolute a call.

Credit Absolute has been a huge help for me. Since the beginning I’ve seen an enormous increase in my credit score. Felicia and Leslie are especially helpful, concise, and very informative. They both always get back to me within minutes if I have any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Credit Absolute to anyone seeking a better understanding of how Credit Scores actually work or if you’re looking to increase your scores.

Credit absolute has helped me tremendously over the past few months. My scores for all 3 credit bureaus have increased by 50+ points. I appreciate the education on credit. I am now much more knowledgeable and strategic about when I should and should not use my credit cards. I look forward to my progress as my goal is to purchase a home by the end of the year!

I noticed a few changes on my credit report that had lowered my score which concerned me and after looking at reviews online I decided to set an appointment with Derek at Credit Absolute. I was fully expecting to spend hundreds of dollars for his advice on what I should do to get it back up to where I had it. After consulting with him and looking in depth at my report, he gave me some tips and helped me understand how the 3 bureaus work and what I could do to increase my score. Best of all..... he didn't charge me a penny. Derek is an honest guy, running an honest business, and if you are looking to build your credit score then he is the guy to turn to. It was about a year ago that I met with him and my score is up over 90 points. 10/10 would recommend Derek at Credit Absolute!

Derek just made my day when I thought my credit was being compromised due to a balance on my late husband's credit card. He checked it out my credit health and assured me that I lost no points and the balance was forgiven. Great news! He gave me pointers on how to get my credit score even higher to put me into the premium level and coached me on getting back on my feet, credit-wise, after my husband's death. A great experience!

I was referred to Derick when my credit score dropped 3 points as I was in the process of trying to get a mortgage loan. Derick gave me GREAT advise and also helped confirm all the credit myths I have overheard on how to improve your credit score. Not only did he give me advise, he not once tried to have me hire him like others usually do. Derick was genuine and that's hard to come across with business. :)

Derek was completely professional and offered helpful suggestions to help me improve my credit. He was honest, in that his services were really not needed and helped to point me in the right direction free of charge. If you have any questions regarding your credit, this is the only place to go!!!
