What We Actually Do

Credit reports often contain mistakes — accounts that aren't yours, balances reported incorrectly, or items that can't be verified. Here's how we help, in full compliance with the FCRA, FDCPA, and CROA.

  • Review all three of your reports (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion)
  • Identify information that appears inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable
  • Dispute those items on your behalf under federal law
  • Teach you how to build and protect your credit going forward

We can't remove information that is accurate and verifiable, and we'll tell you that honestly up front. What we can do is make sure every item on your report is being reported fairly. Results vary by individual credit profile.

What's Free, and What's Paid

We believe you should know exactly what you're getting before you decide anything. Here's the simple breakdown.

90-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If we don't remove any items within 90 days of starting service, you get a full refund. It's a refund policy — not a promise that specific items will be removed.

Transparent pricing, per the law. All fees are shown upfront. The one-time "first-work fee" covers your initial setup and three-bureau audit and is charged only after that first work is performed — never as an illegal advance fee. Ongoing service is month-to-month with no long-term contract, and you may cancel anytime.

Your CROA rights: As required by the Credit Repair Organizations Act, we cannot guarantee any specific item removal, score increase, or loan approval, and we cannot remove information that is accurate and verifiable. You have the right to dispute inaccurate information directly with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion at no cost, and you may cancel within 3 business days of signing, penalty-free. We operate in full compliance with the FCRA, FDCPA, and CROA. Results vary by individual credit profile. FICO® is a registered trademark of Fair Isaac Corporation.

"The team walked me through the difference between a FICO score and a VantageScore, which no one had ever explained to me. My actual FICO score was lower than I thought, and they helped me fix it."

Common Credit Repair Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, call us at Client Support 661-505-8085 — we're happy to help.

What is Maximum Fico Score?
Maximum Fico Score is a CROA-compliant credit repair and financial education company founded in 2016 in Bakersfield, California, by Isaac Palacios. We specialize in auditing credit reports from all three major bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — and filing disputes under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) on items that appear inaccurate, unverifiable, or incomplete. With thousands of clients served across all 50 states, a 5.0-star rating from 157 Google reviews, and a BBB A+ rating, we are committed to transparent, ethical credit work.
What is credit repair, and is it legal?
Credit repair is the process of reviewing your credit reports and disputing information that may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. It is 100% legal. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to dispute any item on your credit report at no cost, either directly with the bureaus or through a credit repair organization like ours. We operate in full compliance with the FCRA, FDCPA, and CROA.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by individual. Some clients see changes within 30–90 days, while more complex files may take longer. Credit bureaus are legally required to investigate disputes within 30 days (45 in certain cases) under the FCRA. We provide monthly progress reports so you always know where things stand. Results vary by credit profile.
What does the 90-day guarantee mean?
If we do not remove any negative items from your credit report within 90 days of starting our service, you receive a full refund — no questions asked. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our process and our commitment to never charging for work that doesn't produce a result. It is a refund policy, not a promise that specific items will be removed.
Can you guarantee a specific score increase?
No — and under the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA), no credit repair company legally can. Anyone who guarantees a specific score increase is violating federal law. What we can tell you is that correcting inaccurate reporting often leads to meaningful improvements, and we'll always give you an honest assessment of your situation upfront. Results vary by individual credit profile.
Do I have to come to your Bakersfield office?
No. While walk-ins are welcome at our Wilson Road office, 100% of our services can be delivered remotely. We serve clients across all 50 states. Your free consultation, document submission, progress tracking, and communication all happen through our secure client portal, phone, and email.
What do I need to get started?
To start, you'll need a government-issued photo ID, proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or lease), and access to your 3-bureau credit report. You can get a free copy of your reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. Don't worry if you don't have everything ready — we'll walk you through it during your free consultation.
How much does credit repair cost?
Your assessment and initial consultation are free. Ongoing credit repair is offered in three transparent plans: the Emerald Plan at $94.99/month (plus a one-time $195 first-work fee), the Maximum Impact Plan at $109.99/month (plus a one-time $265 first-work fee), and the Optimum Plan at $995 one-time for six months of service with no monthly fees. There are no hidden fees and no long-term contracts, and every plan is backed by our 90-day money-back guarantee. We review the best fit with you during your free consultation before any commitment.
What types of negative items can be disputed on a credit report?
Under the FCRA, any item on your credit report that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable can be disputed and potentially removed. This includes collections, charge-offs, late payments, bankruptcies, repossessions, foreclosures, inquiries, and duplicate accounts. We cannot remove information that is accurate and verified, but we work to ensure every item on your report is being reported fairly and correctly.
Do you work with clients outside of California?
Yes. While our office is in Bakersfield, CA, we serve clients across all 50 states. Federal credit laws like the FCRA, FDCPA, and CROA apply nationwide, and our entire process can be completed remotely through our secure client portal, phone, and email. You'll receive the same dedicated, personal service regardless of your location.
