This includes, but may not be limited to, inquiries, addresses, aliases, creditor accounts, and personal information. Additionally, client understands that no guarantee of any particular score is made through this agreement, as doing so would imply an intimate knowledge of the proprietary formulas used by the credit scoring models to calculate score that Credit Salvage does not possess.

If, upon the expiration of 4 timely payments, and 100% adherence to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Credit Salvage has failed to demonstrably update client's report, through deletions, corrections, or updates with each of the major credit bureaus, client is entitled to cancel this service and request a refund depending on if all necessary personal information and statussess were disclosed to Credit Salvage in full.

Client understands that it is the right of any consumer to execute similar disputes or requests on their own behalf, but has wilfully elected to allow Credit Salvage to perform the services for the posted and agreed upon fee, pursuant to the fee schedule included herein. Additionally, by virtue of the client's electronic signature on this site, client acknowledges understanding of, and agreement to the policies, terms, and conditions, outlined in this agreement, and have been made aware of his rights as a consumer in matters of credit reporting through all applicable and necessary laws and disclosures.

Consumer Credit Report Rights

However, neither you nor any ''credit clearance company or credit repair organization has the right to have accurate, current, and verifiable information removed from your credit report. The credit bureau must remove accurate, negative information from your report only if it is over 5 years old. Judgment information can be reported for 5 years and prescription cases 3 years pending investigations.

You have a right to obtain a copy of your credit report from a credit bureau. You may be charged a reasonable fee.

You have a right to sue a credit clearance organization that violates any laws of the republic of South Africa. These laws prohibits deceptive practices by credit clearance organizations.

You have the right to cancel your contract with any credit clearance organization for any reason.

Credit bureaus are required to follow reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. However, mistakes may occur.

You may, on your own, notify a credit bureau in writing that you dispute the accuracy of information in your credit report. The credit bureau must then re-investigate and modify or remove inaccurate or incomplete information. The credit bureau may not charge any fee for this service. Any pertinent information and copies of all documents you have concerning an error should be given to the credit bureau.

If the credit bureau's re-investigation does not resolve the dispute to your satisfaction, you may send a brief statement and refer the matter to the credit Ombudsman. The credit bureau must include a summary of your statement about disputed information with any report it issues about you.

The national Credit Regulator regulates the Credit bureaus

Client’s initial credit reports will serve as the basis for improving or repairing credit reports, and Credit Salvage has no responsibility of providing services on derogatory changes to the client's reports after the date of this agreement. Client understands that he/she/they will be required to provide the original credit report for review and repair purposes, at or before enrolment. Free, un-scored reports can be obtained once per twelve months at each bureau and scored reports and monitoring services are available per request to each bureau. Any fee for these reports or monitoring services is the sole responsibility of the Client.

Use of reports from the bureaus may extend the time afforded the credit bureaus to investigate accuracy and completeness, per current legislation. Client also understands that the addition of new derogatory information will negatively impact the results of Credit Salvage service, and could significantly impact projected completion date of the service provided by this contract.

Additionally, through the electronic signature provided on this website, client authorizes Credit Salvage and its agents, staff, and business partners to obtain, review, and retain credit reports from all four major credit bureaus from the execution of the agreement, through a period not to exceed 60 days beyond the expiration of the same, and for 60 days after the expiration of this agreement. An original, unmarked copy of all credit-related correspondence from any creditor or credit reporting agency must be sent to Credit Salvage within 5 (five) business days of receipt.

If client wishes to maintain copies of creditor/bureau correspondence, client must make the copies for his or herself, in advance of their submission to Credit Salvage for review or processing.

Client also understands that, while every effort to avoid doing so will be made, it may be necessary to settle some debts with the creditors themselves to improve the client's credit rating upon completion of this contract.
