In several previous blog posts, I’ve talked about the online scams regarding Covid-19 (From The FBI, Coronavirus News). I referred you to both the FBI and the CDC regarding scams about virus cures and virus conspiracy theories. However, one of the areas I haven’t talked about is credit repair scams.

For a large number of people, the Covid-19 pandemic put a major hurt to their credit. Men and women who had years of good credit saw their scores plummet because they couldn’t pay their bills. Jobs were lost and/or curtailed and people found themselves in a tough spot. As a result, credit repair companies popped up everywhere. Were all these companies legit and reliable? Of course not.
