Credit Versio offers an AI-powered, self-service option for consumers who want to improve their credit score. Its DIY credit repair services are an interesting alternative to the more common expensive subscription models that can cost almost $100 a month or more. For just the cost of a three-credit bureau subscription and postage for your dispute letters, you can access Credit Versio’s app for free.

Credit Versio Credit Repair Overview

If you’re looking for a lower-cost, more efficient alternative to credit repair, Credit Versio should be on your shortlist. While it’s a relative newcomer to the credit repair industry, the company’s DIY approach keeps its costs low while offering a number of tools for its users.

Pros
  • DIY credit repair backed by an AI-powered tool
  • Multiple packages based on your budget
  • Lower-priced credit repair options compared to other credit repair options
Cons
  • Credit Versio is a new company that doesn't have as much social proof or third-party ratings to fully assess the company's performance
  • The credit repair is mainly assisted through a software tool, with minimal human intervention (Credit Verio employees)

Credit Versio’s Services

Many people have errors on their credit reports and don’t even know it. In many cases, these errors can harm your credit score.

A low credit score might mean lower approval odds for products like credit cards, mortgages or personal loans. If you happen to get approved, lenders might see you as a credit risk. Your interest rate will be higher, potentially costing you thousands of dollars more than your higher credit score counterparts.

That’s where Credit Versio comes in. Credit Versio is a credit repair service that automates the process of removing incorrect or unverifiable information from your credit report. The credit repair company has service packages with reasonable rates and unlimited dispute letters.

What Credit Versio offers

Credit Versio has an automated system that connects to your Equifax, TransUnion and Experian credit profiles. Once this information appears in your Credit Versio dashboard, you can dispute one or more negative items:

  • Inquiries
  • Late payments
  • Charge-offs
  • Collections
  • Foreclosures
  • Repossessions
  • Student loans
  • Bankruptcies

Credit Versio’s AI-driven tools can identify up to 20 different types of negative accounts. Not only does the dashboard display all of your negative accounts, but you can drill down into each item to see why the account is considered a negative item.

The dashboard report might even reveal how late a payment is or some other detail about the derogatory nature of the negative item. At the bottom of this screen, you’ll also see a recommended dispute strategy. You can choose this recommended dispute option, choose another from a dropdown menu or manually type in your own.

This tool can create a letter from a template to address this account and automatically insert the reason why the account should be deleted. The tool will include all pertinent account information and place it in a format the credit bureaus prefer. Credit Versio’s tool will email your dispute letters to you, which you will then print and mail to each credit bureau. According to Credit Versio’s website, mailing your dispute letters is more effective than using online options to dispute your credit report.

Once you start disputing accounts, Credit Versio’s tool displays monthly updates regarding your score and credit status. If a dispute is unsuccessful, the tool can evaluate the reason and suggest another strategic dispute method.

The “secret sauce,” so to speak, is an algorithm that can provide a statistical analysis of your credit file from a digital perspective. The company compiles a record of data points that informs the algorithm, backed by machine learning. It can recommend the most successful dispute based on the nature of the negative items on your credit report.

Credit Versio offers three different packages at reasonably affordable rates:

What Credit Versio doesn’t offer

Be advised that what Credit Versio offers is more of a DIY credit repair tool. Unlike some credit repair companies, Credit Versio doesn’t seem to rely heavily on case managers or other staff to walk you through the credit repair process.

Its credit repair strategy puts its software tool at the forefront, with human assistance as a backup to support your interaction with its automated platform. Although the human coaching element is minimal, it’s good to know that Credit Versio also maintains a blog and YouTube channel with educational resources about credit.

As a DIYer, you’ll be forced to learn many things quickly, like how to read your credit report, what the dispute process entails and much more. This could ultimately turn you into a more educated consumer, which isn’t a bad thing.
