Universal Moving Co Global Moving Co Doubled estimate, used rental truck, lied about load and arrival date Port Charlotte Florida
Vickie Royer at Universal estimated $3200 for move from LIttle River SC to Boise Idaho, picking up on 4-15 and delivery on 4-29. Estimate based on everything in a 10 x 10 stg unit plus two outdoor chairs and table and misc. boxes. When rental truck arrived day late, they loaded and doubled cubic feet to 1100 which was impossible. Refused to pay - they left. I spoke with client rep Christian (his name not his affiliation) and we negotiated to $5500 but since he wanted 15% on top of that to run credit card I asked to wire information which he sent and I wired money next day. However, he sent incorrect information and 7 days later in my trip across country I get email from bank it was rejected.
I immediately stopped at branch at got cashier's check and called Christian who earlier that week told me he would keep me informed and I heard nothing. He said he would not take cashier's check and after much deliberation, I sent from and back copy of check and was assured by him and his superior all was good and we were still on target for 4-29 delivery. 4-29 can and went and they stopped taking my calls. "Owner" finally called and assured me I would have my furniture shortly which of course never happened - Received call May 6 I might have furniture in 3 or 4 more days but he is concerned he can't get his big rig down typical residential street. Living In hotel and only receiving lies from this company.

For starters, going to a credit repair agency (any of them) with the intent on repairing your credit for minor items is not going to help you. These companies can help you if you have serious errors or complex bankruptcy, debts, or other issues on your credit report that should not be there. If anything, you should be doing your own credit repair. In fact, Lexington Law has probably one of the best DIY credit repair guides online, and it's free; if you print it out and follow the steps, you can do it yourself. I've even taught young people how to repair their own credit and they've often gone from scores in the mid-500 to over 700 within a 12-18 month time frame.
However, with your score and at your age, there is a very low likelihood that even doing it yourself would have yielded any improvement. And yes, much of the work is on you to provide to them, which is why the service isn't worth paying. Their job is to communicate with the three bureaus and get the items cleared, and they can't do the work unless you provide then information. It's a complete pain to do this tedious work on their end, which is why you're paying through the nose. An 80-100 point jump in your credit score, which you would have needed, also means your credit history would have had a serious has a serious mistake in it. Your score most likely went down as (a) the debts on your report were affirmed, and (b) the prequalifying event for the VA loan most likely reduced your available credit in the eyes of the 3 bureaus. Both events are outside what any credit repair agency can do for you.
I am also basically homeless now living in a 10 x12 room with my dying dog . I'm sorry but if this is all it took to make you homeless, you could not afford a VA loan or the home associated with it. Best of luck to you.
