These packages are a much better value and will pay for itself with the first few clients. After that it is all profit.

hereQ: Why don't my credit reports have "scores"?
Q: My credit report does not contain Spouse information. Should it? Should I include Spouse information when requesting or disputing a report?
A: (Copied from EXPERIAN.COM) "The credit reporting agencies maintain individual credit files for each U.S. resident. They do not maintain combined files for spouses. Therefore, your credit report is separate and different from your spouse's. Joint credit accounts you have with your spouse will appear on both credit reports."
Because the bureaus maintain individual credit files for each US resident, it is easiest when communicating to the Credit Bureaus communicate as individuals, rather than trying to combine communications and disputes.
When using Credit-Aid Software, it is advisable to create completely separate user profiles and completely separate request and dispute letters, rather than trying to copy and paste between spouses.
Q: I have a desktop, a laptop, and several other computers in my office. Can I install this software on more than one computer?
A: No. Credit-Aid software is sold with a single Computer license, very much like Windows or Office or many other popular programs. It may not be installed on more than one (1) computer. If you would like information about purchasing a multiple user license,
click here for more information and pricing.
Q: When I start to install Credit-Aid software, I am getting a message window that says "Unknown Publisher." What does that mean and what should I do?
A: We are not affiliated with Microsoft in any way, therefore we will always be an "Unknown Publisher." This is just part of WIndows security letting you know that our software has not been verified by Microsoft. When you seen "Unknown Publisher" simply continue the install process.
Q: Help! I can't download my Credit Reports from the Credit Bureau web site!
A: We don’t have upgrades, because one product does not replace another...however when it's full you could buy another, and we always give discounts to repeat customers. If you are starting a credit-repair-business you will be much happier and more productive with a turnkey product, plus the larger versions cost less per-client We understand that the credit bureau websites can sometimes be "unfriendly." We have no affiliation to the credit bureaus. Our software does provide an easy link to connect you directly to their websites where you can order reports, but once you are in their websites we cannot control how they respond to you.
The main function of our software is to generate the letters needed for disputing items in your reports, submitting them “in writing” to the bureaus, keeping track of your progress, and keeping it all organized. Viewing your credit reports on the credit bureaus web sites is completely dependent upon your own computer’s settings and your ability to provide the information that they request.
We recommend using our software to create the report requests “in writing” so that you can create a paper trial. It takes the bureaus longer to items submitted in writing, which can often work in your favor. By law, we cannot go any further than that in offering specific credit advice, but for more information about the Credit Repair Process, please download our free booklet at www.credit-aid.com/booklet-form.htm.
Incidentally, while we are on the subject of credit reports: most Credit Reports ordered by consumers do NOT have credit "Scores." -- especially those ordered for FREE from the Annual Service, The scores are generally sold at a premium. Here below is an alternative source if you are seeking an actual credit "score".
Q: Why is this software so reasonably priced?
A: We believe that software should be affordable. We also truly want to help people. We know that we have created the best credit repair software on the market and we also know that if you have success, you might tell a friend about it, and if enough people have success, we will sell plenty of programs, and help a lot of people, and everyone wins in the end.
Q: I do not have Windows 8, 7, Vista or XP. Will Credit Doctor run on older versions of Windows?
A: No. Credit Doctor will only run properly on Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP.
Q: Do you have a Canadian Version?
A: Although we've traveled everywhere from Moose Jaw to Medecine Hat, we are American and live in California and we have no knowledge of the Canadian Credit Laws. A Canadian version my be in the works soon, but for the moment, it takes all the hours in the day to improve our own American version. If you are Canadian and need help with
Canadian Credit Repair information click here.
Q: I am a Mortgage Broker and I want to be able to help my clients with their credit. Do I need a special license for this?
A: If the dispute letters come from your clients, are signed by your clients, and if you are not charging them for this service, then your clients are repairing their own credit. You would simply be helping them to repair their own credit by using our software to generate the letters, track their progress and keep them organized. Another option is to have your clients sign a Power of Attorney letter to allow you to do this work on their behalf. The Power of Attorney letter is included in our larger professional versions. Please consult with an attorney in your specific state to confirm this.
As far as charging your clients for this service, we believe that if you go the extra mile for your clients, you will receive back more rewards (by way of closed loans, goodwill and word of mouth) than any small fee you might charge for printing and sending a few letters.
Q: I have paid for Credit Doctor and received my Activation Code from you, but when I try to enter my activation code into the program, it just says DEMO DEMO and I can't enter in the code.
A: If it says DEMO DEMO, that is NOT the Credit-Aid Full Version program. What you have is only the free Demo, and you must completely uninstall the demo prior to installing and running the full-version.
Q: I am trying to install by typing in the name and activation code you sent me, but I keep getting an error message that says "Invalid User String." What do I do?
A:"Invalid User String" means you are entering an incorrect name and code. This usually occurs when trying to "retype" the name and code we sent. Please try to "copy and paste" the name and code (instead of retyping) and you should have success. FYI: To cut and paste: Use Control + C to COPY and Control + V (Or Right Mouse Click + Paste) to PASTE it into the Activation window.
Q: I was sent a shipping confirmation email from Google Checkout or PayPal. Where is my download?
A: We send instant downloads the moment your credit card has been authorized. If you ordered the download version and received a confirmation letter that your card was charged or that your order has shipped, that means that we also sent your software and it is waiting for you at the email address that you have provided. If you don't see it in your inbox, please look in your spam folder before contacting us. 99% of the time that is where it is
*Credit-Aid is an automated "INSTANT DOWNLOAD", but your download info will not display (and send) until YOUR bank has approved your purchase. This generally happens in approval. If you purchase through Paypal, you can log into your PayPal account at http://www.PayPal.com to see your order status. If you have purchased through Google please log into your Google Account at http://checkout.google.com to see your order’s status.

If you have any trouble, please send us a friendly email and we will be happy to help you.
Q: Why does Google send me shipping confirmation with my mailing address when I have only purchased a download?
A: This is a quirk in the Google Checkout system. If you purchased a download, you will only receive a download. If you paid an extra fee to purchase a backup CD/Shipped one will be shipped to you.
Q: I bought a copy of Credit-Aid, but my computer crashed. How can I get a new copy?
A: No problem!

A: We believe in our products and we know you will love them, too. Our software support team is available to assist you and will generally reply to any concern within 24 hours.

click hereQ: I am trying to download this program, but I keep getting corrupt or NCIS error messages when trying to install it. What is wrong?
A :"corrupt" or "NCIS" error you are getting means that you are not downloading the entire program. The install file is 13.2 Megabytes. It will not install unless you download the entire file.
2/27/2008 We are now sending all downloads in the form of ZIP files. We now do this because Norton and other Antivirus products prevent downloads of exe setup files. If you have downloaded the entire zip file, it will open if you choose OPEN or RUN and inside the ZIP file is the Credit-Aid setup file. Doubleclick on the Credit-Aid setup file and in a few seconds the installer will start. Make sure you follow the defaults and DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION WHERE CREDIT-AID WANTS TO INSTALL!
If you are double clicking on the file you have downloaded and nothing happens, or you get an error message that Windows doesn't know what to do with it, you probably haven't downloaded the entire file.
We test the links daily and they generally take 2 Minutes to download on standard DSL or Broadband, but occasionally your antivirus or internet settings on your computer may be preventing you from completing the download. If you are getting error when trying to download and install the software, here are the steps to take to correct this problem:
Delete the partial file you have downloaded
Delete ALL temporary internet files (Control Panel – Internet Settings)
Completely SHUT DOWN and RESTART your computer
Download the file again and remember to save it to your desktop. Make sure you have the full 13.2 megabytes. Once it has downloaded, you can check the file size by doing a right mouse click on the file itself and choosing PROPERTIES (with the left mouse button). If you have downloaded the entire file it should install perfectly.
If for any reason this does not work, please send us a friendly email to contact our support team with detail of the problem you are having, along with your order number (and the email you used during purchase and we will be happy to help you further. We want to help you.
Q: I didn'treceive my activation letter...or my time ran out. Can you resend my download and activation information?
Activation letters are sent IMMEDIATELY when your credit card is charged. Our system is automated. If you did not receive your activation letter, first please look in your SPAM or BULK email folder. That's where they sometimes end up, because spam filters also can filter out important mail.
If you do not see your activation letter in your SPAM or BULK email folders, please do not call our sales staff. They are in a separate location and they cannot help with technical matters. Contact our support team and we will be happy to help you very quickly, however, before you do, please read the following so we can help you.
We are able to resend activation details two (2) times -- or up to one (1) year from the date of purchase (whichever comes first). Please help us to find your order by providing the following information:
- Your Name and Company
- Your Phone Number
- Your Order Number (if you have it)
- The exact software version you purchased
- The EXACT email address used during the ORIGINAL purchase.
Please note that our system will only resend to the EXACT email address used during the original purchase. No exceptions.
**Please note that your software is licensed to use on only one (1) computer. We monitor how many times it's been downloaded, and if you've attempted to install it on more than one (1) machine. If you would like to install it on more than one computer, please contact us about purchasing additional copies at discount (ie; multi-user licensing).
Q: If I am a Mortgage, Real Estate or Credit Professional, can I just buy the consumer software? Will the consumer version be useful for me?
A: No! If you are a Mortgage, Real Estate or Credit Professional, our "consumer" software will not be useful to you
We offer "limited feature / limited use" versions of our software to "consumers" at a consumer-level price. These versions are not useful for professionals.
Here is why our "consumer only" versions are not useful for professionals.
Our "Consumer only" scaled-down versions only allow 3 user profiles, you cannot add more names, you cannot delete them. You also cannot copy or reuse the letters (copying and pasting will not work). You will have no way to track your clients, so the software will be useless to professionals. Also you will have no product updates or support. "Consumer Only" versions are only sold to consumers.
Our professional software is affordable for any size office or budget you have.Our largest version, PRO-1000 will help 1000 of your clients to improve their credit scores for less than $1 per client. If you help one client to raise their score and close a loan, the professional software will have already paid for itself many times over. Plus, the good will you've generated by "going the extra mile" for that client will pay you back many times over in referrals.
Our Credit-Aid Professional software is very user-friendly.
We offer try-before-you-buy demo versions of our PRO software. If you would like to see how it runs and what it can do for you, we encourage you to download it.
If you have questions about our PRO software, you may also call our Corporate Sales Desk at (800) 944-1838.
