Why Choose Credlocity: 17 Years, 79,000+ Clients, FCRA-Certified

Credlocity Business Group LLC was founded in 2008 by Joeziel Vazquez in Philadelphia, PA. Here are the reasons clients across all 50 states choose Credlocity for FCRA-certified credit repair.

Credentials and Experience That Matter

Joeziel Vazquez, CEO and founder, holds four industry credentials: FCRA Certified (issued by the National Association of Credit Services Organizations), BCCC (Board Certified Credit Consultant), CCSC (Certified Credit Score Consultant), and CCRS (Certified Credit Repair Specialist). These credentials require demonstrated knowledge of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, credit scoring methodologies, and ethical credit repair practice. Credlocity's consulting staff is FCRA-certified. The difference between FCRA-certified practitioners and non-certified credit repair companies is the difference between consultants who understand the legal framework of dispute rights and consultants who send generic template letters. Credlocity prepares dispute letters that cite the specific FCRA sections applicable to each item - § 1681i for bureau reinvestigation demands, § 1681s-2(b) for direct furnisher disputes, § 1681c for obsolete reporting period violations, § 1681e(b) for maximum possible accuracy failures.

The Founding Story: Built to Do Better

Joeziel Vazquez founded Credlocity because he personally experienced credit repair fraud. As a consumer, he paid a well-known credit repair company - Lexington Law - fees upfront and received nothing of value in return. That experience of being defrauded motivated him to build a credit repair organization that operated the opposite way: CROA-compliant from day one, no advance fees, transparent processes, genuine FCRA expertise, and a commitment to results over recurring billing. The founding story is not a marketing narrative - it is the reason Credlocity has built every policy, process, and contract provision the way it has. A founder who was personally harmed by credit repair fraud builds the safeguards into the organization's DNA.

Direct Furnisher Disputes and Pro Se Litigation Capability

Most credit repair companies stop at bureau-level disputes. When a bureau verifies an item and declines to delete it, many companies have no next step. Credlocity goes further. Under FCRA § 1681s-2(b), consumers have the right to dispute directly with the furnisher of information - the original creditor or collection agency that reported the item. Credlocity prepares and sends direct furnisher disputes alongside bureau disputes for complex items. When direct disputes are ignored or improperly handled, Credlocity escalates to CFPB complaints, state attorney general complaints, and referrals to FCRA litigation attorney partners. Joeziel Vazquez has personally pursued pro se FCRA litigation against TransUnion, Equifax, Experian, and collection agencies, giving Credlocity a practical understanding of litigation that informs how we build dispute records for every client.

CROA Compliance: The 30-Day Free Trial and No Advance Fees

The Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1679-1679j) prohibits credit repair companies from charging consumers before services are performed. Credlocity has operated with strict CROA compliance since 2008. The first 30 days of service are completely free. No setup fee. No enrollment fee. No deposit. No advance payment of any kind. Before any contract is signed, Credlocity provides the Consumer Credit File Rights disclosure required by CROA § 1679c and a written service agreement. Clients have a 3-day right to cancel the contract without penalty. These are legal requirements under CROA - but Credlocity goes beyond the minimum by making the free trial 30 full days of actual dispute work, not just a consultation period. Located at 1500 Chestnut Street, Suite 2, Philadelphia, PA 19102.
