Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. If yours isn't here, call (661) 505-8085 — we're happy to help.
Which service is right for me?
Start with a free assessment. We'll review your credit reports and recommend the right path forward — credit repair if you have inaccurate items, home loan prep if you're buying soon, financial coaching if you want to build healthier habits, or a partner referral for debt settlement or funding when those make sense for your situation.
Do you charge advance fees?
No. Federal law (CROA) prohibits credit repair organizations from charging advance fees, and we operate in full compliance. You only pay for completed work. Every client also receives a free initial assessment before any commitment.
How does the debt settlement referral work?
If debt settlement appears to be a fit for your situation, we educate you on how the process works (including the credit-score impact, tax implications, and timeline). When you're ready, we refer you to our licensed debt settlement partner who handles the actual negotiation. Maximum FICO Score does not negotiate or settle debts directly. Our partner operates under their own state and federal licensing.
What does "credit preparation" mean for home loans, solar financing, and funding?
It means we get your credit profile ready — score optimization, dispute work, utilization strategy, and coordination with your loan officer or solar installer — so you qualify for better rates and approval terms. We are not a mortgage broker, solar finance broker, or business loan broker. We prepare credit; licensed partners handle the actual financing.
Who is TruFinCo, and do you receive compensation?
TruFinCo is our trusted personal and business funding partner. They have their own network of licensed lenders and operate under their own regulatory licenses. Maximum FICO Score is an authorized affiliate of TruFinCo and may receive a referral fee when clients apply through our link. This compensation does not affect our recommendation or your ability to compare other options independently.
Is financial coaching the same as financial advising?
No. Financial coaching focuses on habits, goal setting, and budgeting — it's educational. Financial advising involves specific investment recommendations and securities advice, which legally requires a licensed Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) or Series 65/66 certification. Maximum FICO Score is not a registered investment advisor. If you need investment advice, we encourage you to consult a licensed RIA.
Can you guarantee a specific score increase or loan approval?
No — and under the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA), no credit repair company legally can guarantee a specific score increase. Similarly, neither we nor our partners can guarantee loan approval, which depends on lender underwriting decisions. What we can promise is honest work, full federal compliance, and our 90-day money-back guarantee on credit repair services if we don't perform.
Do you serve clients outside Bakersfield?
Yes. While our office is at 4646 Wilson Road in Bakersfield, our entire process can be completed remotely through our secure client portal, phone, and email. We serve clients across all 50 states. Local clients are welcome to visit in person.

Service Boundaries: Maximum FICO Score is not a mortgage lender, mortgage broker, mortgage originator, solar finance broker, business loan broker, debt settlement company, or registered investment advisor.
