A clear path to
better credit.

No. You are never charged before we do the work. When you sign up, you provide a payment card. It is stored securely and is not charged at that time. You then have three business days to cancel for any reason, at no cost. After that window closes, we prepare and submit your first round of disputes. Only once that round has actually been submitted do we create an invoice and charge your card. Every round after that works the same way: the work is performed first, then you are charged. There is no automatic recurring subscription, and you are never billed for a dispute cycle that has not been performed.

No. We cannot and do not guarantee any specific result, any score increase, or any timeframe. No credit repair company legally can. What we do commit to is disputing every negative item on your report using the method your tier provides, and only charging you for work we have actually performed.

No. Your goal might be a better interest rate, a business loan, or simply understanding your credit. Homeownership is one possible destination, not the only one. If your credit journey does lead toward buying a home, the Keys program includes buyer strategy and lender coordination to help you get ready to shop.

THE CREDIT AVENUE or AVENUE COLLECTIVE. If you have any questions about a charge, email hello@thecreditavenue.com before contacting your card issuer.

Each dispute round runs roughly 30 to 45 days, because that is the window the credit bureaus have to respond under federal law. Beyond that we cannot tell you how long your file will take, and we will not guess. It depends entirely on what is on your report and how the bureaus and creditors respond. Each round is its own decision and you can stop at any point.

Keys is for people whose real goal is buying a home. Along with everything in Ready, you get buyer strategy from a licensed real estate broker the whole way: monthly mortgage readiness reviews, a written action plan from Renee herself, a down payment assistance eligibility review, lender introductions, and a HUD-approved homebuyer course. It is the only tier where credit repair and getting mortgage-ready are handled by the same person.

No, and representation is not part of the Keys price. Buyer strategy is what is included: readiness reviews, your action plan, lender coordination and guidance from a licensed broker. Whether Renee represents you in a purchase is a separate decision you make later, when you are actually ready to buy, and terms and compensation are discussed then in an exclusive buyer agency agreement. She would love to be your agent, and you are never required to use her. You receive every other part of Keys either way. If you already have a signed agreement with another broker, we will not interfere with that relationship and we will coordinate with your agent only if you ask us to.

Buyer strategy is part of the Keys program. It includes mortgage readiness reviews, action plans, and guidance from a licensed broker. I coordinate with you and a lender to get you pre-approved and ready to house shop. Buyer representation is a separate step you can elect when you are ready to buy. Terms and compensation are discussed when you sign an exclusive buyer agency agreement with your agent.

Yes. Every tier requires an active myScoreIQ Max account. Max is the only plan that refreshes your three-bureau credit report every month, which is how we verify what each dispute round addressed. Without it, we cannot dispute the next round or track your progress. The myScoreIQ Max fee is paid by you directly to the monitoring provider, not to The Credit Avenue.

Yes. You have the right to dispute items on your own credit report yourself, for free, and you do not need to hire anyone to do it. What you are paying us for is that it happens consistently, round after round, without you having to manage it.
