Credit Info Center was founded in 1995 as a blog and newsletter publisher of credit repair information. We started out small, offering free information on how to fix simple errors you might find on your credit reports. Over the next two decades, we added additional informational topics such as credit cards, banking, debt, and mortgage loans. We also formed one of the largest online community forums with information and insight about these same topics. Our forum features over one million posts and thousands of users.
Today, CreditInfoCenter.com continues to offer timely information and resources important to our readers. We have a reputation as one of the premier authorities on credit repair and personal finance and offer thousands of articles to eager information gatherers.
Our mission is simple: create opportunities for consumers to get access to the financial information, products, and services they need. CreditInfoCenter.com is owned by Cordus Partners, LLC, a U.S.-based personal finance information provider.
