 * Comment Credit "fixing" is basically a scam perpetrated by individuals looking to either solicit high interest loans from borrowers or to gaina ccess to personal information. Scammers claim (as this article does) that they can send letters to the credit unions to get items removed.  While wrongful items can be removed (and you can be removed from debtor rolls if you are placed there erroneously), it doesn't take a third party to do this.  Ususally they want an SSN.  I'm gonna remake this article because it is basically an ad for scammers right now. Protonk (talk) 05:27, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Ok. I rewrote the article so it wasn't basically inducing readers to get ripped off (noting that we were the top hit for "credit fixing"...yikes).  this is not promising for notability.  I'm half tempted to suggest a redirect to Wire fraud because I can't find a very good target. Protonk (talk) 05:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Credit history, Credit repair which is the more widely used term already directs there. Consider adding some more specific info about problems with credit repair firms, as per link now on article and  to that article. -Hunting dog (talk) 07:13, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
