The last couple of days has been very interesting.   I have been contacted by the guys at TU, and by guys I mean the President and the COO, who seemed to be interested about working with us in a more constructive fashion.  They wanted to discuss how we could work together to streamline the process and cut costs for both of us.

My first reaction was …WHAT THE>>>  Seriously, it’s not every day one of the big 3 credit reporting agencies calls and wants to work out how we can work together. Needless to say, my interest was sparked but as well my radar was going off all over the place. After the first call I told them I felt like I was a mouse looking out of the hole in the kitchen sniffing at this big old piece of cheese that was just put on the old mouse trap. And that when I reached out for the prize… WHACK…the hammer would fall and I’d lose my head!

I can’t help it, it’s just how I felt. So caution was in the air but…

After a second call and much investigation it appears that they are reaching out to the top credit repair companies in the country. By top, I mean in shear number of disputes being sent in on a monthly basis. That was pretty cool as there is no place to go to discern where we rank in the big scheme of things but if they say we are on the list, then I wasn’t going to argue that point!  As a matter of fact, we were on the list of the top 25 in the entire country for them to reach out to based on the total volume of disputes.

As I let the discussion continue it truly seems as if they have turned a corner, at least I hope they have, in coming full circle. They acknowledged they want credit reports as accurate as possible and who better than to have “approved” vendors like National Credit Federation that know the specific items that are wrong on one of our members credit reports, to be able to help?

As I let that absorb, I advised them I felt if they were sincere in their words that it did indeed seem like a win/win/win situation.  They cut costs, we cut costs and most importantly for our members a streamlined process where we can better control the overall process.   I also advised them that the overall results still would determine the success, to which they agreed.

Wow, who says Christmas only happens once a year!  I’ll keep you updated as things progress but it does look like because of our persistence of battling with the credit bureaus and so many of you sending in your referrals as well as signing up for our credit restoration service the tide is beginning to turn!

Be Bold!
