Why are there fees associated with credit sweeps and why do I have to pay upfront?



Question of the day: Why are there fees associated with credit sweeps and why do I have to pay upfront?


I've been asked this today on 5/30 calls so far, so let's talk about it.

The question really should be: who should pay for your fees and when should they be due?

Why pay upfront:
Due to the nature of this business, clients are already pre-disposed to not paying bills and a % of clients do not even pay for services rendered and face legal consequences. Therefore, clients must pay for a portion of cost upon sign up as well as Initial Audit billable hours.

Small fee breakdown:


Fees associated with processing a credit sweep initially and per month:
Client Portal
Certified Mail
Postage
Faxing
Supplies
etc.

Time to process 1 Initial Audit (1st 4 days after sign up):
6-10 hours depending on severity of credit file and research involved

Time to process a credit file per month:
1-5 hours depending on severity of credit file, responses received from bureaus and/or creditors,  research required, complaints made to CFPB and/or AG

Average # of texts per month received from each client:
26
Average # of emails per month received from each client:
10
Average # of calls per month received from each client:
8

Average success rate: 95%

If services by Expert Credit Sweeps were to be calculated by the $ saved per file, the average cost at 15% would be $14250. Instead, it's less than $1000 in total. 

By comparison, the entire cost should be paid upfront given the amount of work involved and expense to process each file. That's not what ECS is about, though!

Tips for my brokers; Craigslist, Facebook, websites, advertising and more!

I work 90% with brokers, 10% with clients, and I actually prefer to work with brokers, as I have contact with only one person instead of 300 clients. So considering there are 528 of you brokers, I figured that I would post some tips and tricks for my brokers. I will break it down into sections to make it easier reading, and if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, let me know! Advertising Advertising can be a serious pain in the butt, and it is utterly necessary for a business like this one. I will give you a couple of suggestions that work for me. I am mostly just word of mouth now and do not need to advertise, as I have thousands of clients, but there are days when I do put my business out there again for new clients. Craigslist It is quite difficult to advertise with CL now, but there are tons of ways to get around being flagged or to prevent it from happening. CL is the 4th most visited site in the  world , so that right there should tell you that you need...

3 Resons why you should wait to apply for new credit

Applying for new credit before all derogatory items are deleted: My advice to my clients is always the same: wait until you're done with your credit repair or credit sweep program, but have a strategy to move forward from there. Here's a few reasons why: #1 you may be denied if you still have 1-2 items remaning and will end up with new inquiries that will drop your score #2 it may hinder the process of removing the last few items and can add 1-3 months to the timeframe #3 you may be approved with a very low limit and would have to wait 3-5 months prior to requesting an increase. In comparison, you can wait til everything has been completed and obtain a higher limit right off the bat. Here's a real-life example: I have a client would only has 4/86 negative items remaining and he wanted to move forward with his mortgage. I advised him to wait because (see #1) it would add inquiries and he may not be approved. He'd mentioned tha...
