Frequently asked questions

Do you have a physical office in Richmond?

We're headquartered in Sacramento and serve every Contra Costa County zip code remotely. All disputes, uploads, and consultations happen through our secure client portal — most Richmond clients never need to travel.

How long does credit repair take?

Bureaus have 30-45 days to respond to each dispute round. Most Richmond clients see the first material movement within 45-60 days, with the majority of achievable deletions completed inside 4-6 months.

Will this help me qualify for a Richmond mortgage?

Credit repair fixes inaccurate reporting; underwriting is separate. We build a lender-ready profile and coordinate with any Bay Area (East Bay) mortgage broker you're working with so scores are optimized at the exact point they're pulled.

Are you licensed to serve California residents?

Yes — Elite Credit Consultants LLC is bonded and insured, and all dispute specialists are FCRA-trained. We comply with the California Credit Services Act and provide the required written contract before any work begins.
