What Is The C.R.I. Random Dispute Generator?
You know you need to work on improving your credit today so you can get a steal of a deal on a Car, Home (or credit card) tomorrow, right?
After all “The Future Belongs to Those Who Prepare For It… as those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”
What you may not know, is a couple of the tools we have created with the CRI System to make your job of improving your Fico Score much easier.
For Example…
1.) The CRI Random Dispute Generator.
2.) The CRI Online Members Only Forum
If you’ve seen our video titled “How 83% of Bureau Disputes Really Work” you know the CRA’s receive over 20,000 dispute letters a day and use OCR and eOscar to automate the entire process (if you missed this the video link is below).
http://www.youtube.com/user/CreditRepairIntel#p/u/0/Fj5jK_SlHhU
As a result, their “system” does an incredible job of finding and rejecting “pre-written, boiler plate and template” dispute letters used by CR companies and by consumers out of CR books.
Since we know how much our clients hate to write letters we had to come up with a solution. The Result;
The CRI Random Dispute Generator.
This is an online tool found in our Members Only Forum which will help you generate over 100,000 letters unique to you and your needs. Simply enter in the info and press a few buttons, than copy and paste and you’re done.
Which brings me to another question we get a lot…
“Can’t I just buy the CRI Guide only WITHOUT the Online Members Only Forum Access?”
ANSWER: No, but if even if you could, you wouldn’t want to. Here’s why…
After being in this business 17 years you learn a thing or two about what people need to succeed. When we just sold an info book and updatedit every 6 months we kept running into two major problems.
a.) People will always end up needing some type of after sale support, help and or questions answered.
And
b.) Information in the CR Game changes so much that even if we sent you a manual the size of a phone book (which we could) parts of it would be OUT OF DATE in less than 30 days.
This is why the CRI SYSTEM is both a print manual (270 Pages) PLUS Online Access to a Members Only Forum for updates and ongoing support.
Not long ago, we had a client who negotiated a $16K Auto Repossession down to only $4K AND GOT IT DELETED OFF HIS REPORTS!
Do you think this could have happened with only a book or a video?
(Maybe when dogs can fly or politicians quite lying…)

The 26 Year Foreclosure
How would you like to live in your home for free? Well, almost…
Patsy Campbell has not made a mortgage payment on her home for 26 years. Yes, I said 26 years.
Almost every Real Estate Attorney agrees it is the longest foreclosure case in America… and probably the WORLD for that matter.
Miss Campbell has pulled just about every legal maneuver possible to delay foreclosure of her home for over two and a half decades.
The home was last appraised at over $200,000.
The short version of the story goes something like this.
In 1978 her husband Paul purchased the home with a mortgage for $68,000 from First Federal Savings.
He married patsy in 1980, later passing on and leaving the property to her.
Patsy became ill in 1985 and the loss of income caused her to stop making mortgage payments.
At this point, the Mortgage Holder First Federal had now merged with First Fidelity Savings and Loan which took over the servicing of her mortgage.
Later in 1987 the mortgage was sold by First Fidelity to American Pioneer Savings. American Pioneer Savings went broke in the early 1990′s.
The loan continued to change banks 6 times and each time it changed the foreclosure case was either delayed and or dropped as the financial institutions went out of business as well as fell victim to her later stall tactics.
Finally, her mortgage wound up with the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) which was the federally owned entity which was in charge liquidating assets from the Savings and Loan Crisis in the 90′s. Eventually the FDIC was in charge of her mortgage.

—————————————
Then, in 1998 the FDIC sold the mortgage to Commercial Services of Perry Iowa.
Commercial Services is a buyer and investor of distressed debt which filed for foreclosure on the Campbell home in the year 2000.
Obviously, after delaying foreclosure for 26 years, Miss Campbell has used a number of strategies to stay in her home.
In the beginning she had the help of a retired Lawyer, but today she’s learned so much about the law she’s actually handling the case herself.
The has appealed her case 7 times since 2000.
Among some of her tactics were claims that:
The note for her property was incorrectly assigned.
Lawyers waited too long to prosecute her case
The original sellers never received funds due from the bank.
Her husband’s signature was forged.
Her note was incorrectly separated from her mortgage agreement.
The loan was not properly transferred between the multiple financial institutions in went through.
In many cases she demanded documents the lenders were unable to generate (or generate quickly enough).
Once due to illness she put the home in her daughter’s name then later had the house deeded back to her.
Probably the most entertaining argument is when she denied there was any legitimate debt.
In 2007 a judge threw out many of her arguments as an unnecessary use of judicial resources.
Attorney Robert Summers for Commercial Services says “It’s almost like clockwork. You know you’re going to get a three-inch stack of documents every month or so, and you have to take the time to read through them.
It’s a burden on the courts, a burden on lawyers to decipher it, and it has enough meat in it that it’s not all void.”
After a very long fight Commercial Services finally got a date to take the foreclosure to trial.
In response, Miss Campbell filed Bankruptcy and In the state of Florida, bankruptcy stops foreclosure until a stay is lifted by the bankruptcy judge.
Miss Campbell currently maintains that no one owns her mortgage and because of all the mistakes the both private and federal institutions have made handling it, the debt is null and void.
It should be noted that any homeowner delaying foreclosure can raise defenses in court which may be baseless but still present legal obstacles for the banks to overcome. These obstacles cost both time and money and lots of it.
Moodys predicts foreclosures will increase from about 1.8 million in 2010 to 2.1 million in 2011.
With that said, I am sure we can all expect to see more foreclosure cases being delayed by other Americans following Miss Campbell’s lead.
Too Many Victims… Not Enough Ambulances…
This post might upset some people, but that is NOT my goal. My goal is to reflect on what a lack of common sense and personal responsibility is developing in our civilization and how you can benefit from it.
Click here for video version:
http://www.youtube.com/user/CreditRepairIntel
You see, our society (as a whole) simply has;
“Too Many Victims and Not Enough Ambulances…”
In this scenario you, as a part of society, have two primary choices in most crisis situations (such as the foreclosure crisis):
1.) Lie in the street, bleeding and waiting for an ambulance to save you.
or
2.) Don’t even play the bleeding victim in the street in the first place.
Let me explain…
Recently I heard a guy with one of the fastest growing talk shows in America talk about how people were losing their homes due to what he referred to as “NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN” and…
…after they lost their homes their credit would be shot and then getting a job was difficult because employers were looking at their FICO Scores. To the talk show host this was “Unjust” and “UnFair” and something had to be done!
I don’t know about you, but in my personal philosophy I have to laugh and disagree.
Here’s why:
The world in which we live has rules. These rules (while we may not always like or agree with them) cannot be bent or broken (at least not the vast majority of them anyways).
These are rules like:
1.) You can’t make someone truly love you (though websites like this might lead you to believe otherwise http://www.doubleyourdating.com/ or http://www.catchhimandkeephim.com/)
2.) You can’t change who your parents or siblings are.
3.) You can’t change your past experiences or what has happened to you.
You see, there are inherent risks in life we are FORCED to accept (whether we agree with them or not). This is because these are universal laws .
For example, being born has the inherent risk you could end up with cancer or some other terminal disease (and be forced to accept it).
Being in love comes with the inherent risk your lover may wake up one day and not be” in love” with you anymore and again, you’ll be forced to accept it (and websites like this one are geared for that: http://www.marriagemax.com/ )
Now, there are many things we do in life with extreme risk which we don’t even think about. Like:
1.) Driving on two lane roads where nothing but a “four inch line of paint” is keeping the other person from going into our lane and maiming or killing us.
2.) Eating food from sources which could be tainted and cause us to get sick or die.
3.) Engaging in other high risk sports like mountain biking, motocross or even skiing which can lead to serious injuries.
However, when it comes to the risk of taking on debt (like a home mortgage) many people fail to take responsibility for the risk they are taking on; especially if the mortgage was an adjustable one.
Think about this for a moment… I mean REALLY think about this.
What if everyone in the country just said “NO” to signing up for any adjustable rate mortgage? What if everyone only bought homes with 30 year fixed mortgages?
What kind of shape do you think the housing market (and the Nation) would be in today?
After all, why would anyone buy using a an adjustable rate mortgage? The adjustable mortgage has far more risk. In fact, it is a clear fact that if everyone had bought their home during the housing boom with a 30 year fixed mortgage the country would not be in nearly the mess it’s in today.
Sure, many real estate industrialists may argue otherwise and so will many consumer advocates with nonsense like:
I’d didn’t realize what I was signing!
They rushed me through the process and misled me!
We all have learned lessons from listening to dumb or untrustworthy people. Also…
Many of us, when young, were offered rides from parties with drunk drivers or even offered hardcore drugs AT THE PARTY but it was “common sense” and a little “caution” combined with responsibility which made us say no (that is, if you did say no).
And, of course, we learned lessons from those that got into those drugs.
So, whenever we find ourselves in a scenario that we got ourselves into, even if it involves circumstances beyond our control, we have two choices:
1.) Lie in the street, bleeding and wait for an ambulance to save us.
or
2.) Don’t play the bleeding victim in the street in the first place.
If your FICO Score is shot, then the sooner you start taking the steps to rebuild it, the sooner you will be in the position to benefit from the mistakes of yourself and others.
If you want to learn the guaranteed way to…
1.) STOP Creditor Harassment
2.) Deal with Collections, Late Pays and Charge Offs
3.) Rebuild new positive accounts as fast as possible
Then I strongly suggest you take the new Credit Repair Intelligence System for Risk-Free 30 Day Test Drive. You’ve got nothing to lose but bad credit.

The title of this email/post is:
“The Department of Corrections and who the TSA Should Really be Scanning”
It all started when I was enjoying a draft beer down in Reno at the Great Basin Brewing Company (Not a big fan of Reno but the beer and food at this place is incredible! I like the Nevada Gold). Learn more here:
http://www.greatbasinbrewingco.com/news/location.php
Anyway…
I end up talking to this guy who works for the Department of Corrections over in California (Interesting chap, to say the least). So, I had to pop the question…
You see, being self employed in this ever changing market place I always have yearned for the security a state job could bring; not to mention the sweet Pension. Did I mention many CA Correction Officers retire with over $80,000+ per year?
So, I ask him “Man, it must be a good feeling going to sleep knowing you’ve got job security and a killer pension?”
He responded “Yeah, it’s good, but it comes with a price tag few are willing to pay.”
“What’s the first example that comes to mind?” I replied.
(Then he told me a story I’ll never forget, nor will you after today).
He explained “I want you to imagine 10 convicts in a room with us. Now, we ask em all to strip down to nothing and put their hands up against the wall.”
I interrupted “I DON’T like the sound of this!”
“Wait, I’m not done yet” he responded. “Now, we tell them to ‘spread em” and I ain’t talking about their feet, ok?”
“Oh God!” I blurted out.
“Wait… wait… I’m not done yet.” He says. “Then, with plastic gloves you gotta search em, ok? Are you with me?” he asks.
“You can stop right there. That’s enough!” I said.
“Wait! I’m not done yet” he replies.
Then, when you’re “searching” one of them…
(WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WARNING!!! If you are easily offended do NOT keep reading… YOU HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY WARNED!)
He continued “Then, when you’re searching one of them you hit what feels like a small brick. And now you gotta tell the inmate to let go of it. I mean, you gotta YELL AT HIM…. LET GO OF IT!”
(At this point I realized I had opened up a conversation I wish I had never started but at the same time I was curious.)
So, I asked him the natural thing anyone in my shoes would ask “What was it? What did he have?”
He took a sip of his beer and like it was nothing grinned at me and said “He was trying to get a cell phone in.”
“A CELL PHONE!? A CELL PHONE!?” I shouted.
“You gotta be kidding me!” I replied.
“Do I look like I’m kidding” he responded. Then he followed up with “I might be able to get you’re a job if you’re interested.”
To say the least… people in the Department of Corrections EARN their money. Just try their job for a day if you’re at all “Curious.”
But this got me thinking… we’ve got all these scanners at the airports exposing people to radiation who aren’t even a potential threat. Not even .01% are a threat I bet.
So…
Why the heck doesn’t the TSA Scan inmates? I mean, doesn’t that make a whole lot more sense?
After all, the United Kingdom is now doing it:
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2010/11/coming-next-rectum-scanners-started-for-uk-prisons/
But what’s this have to do with Credit?
It illustrates that fact the NO ONE IS IMMUNE to the cost of a low credit score. The guy from the department of corrections had gone through a divorce which destroyed his credit years ago. But that WASN’T the real problem?
The real problem was one you might be experiencing.
He had done NOTHING to restore his rating and as a result (despite his incredible income) was unable to qualify for a major loan he needed… a major LIFE CHANGING LOAN I might add.

What Always Works
No matter what credit course they buy, or even if they don’t buy one at all, many people find themselves consistently coming up short in one single area… and it happens to be one area that can have considerable negative impact on their credit.
One thing, that’s it. And it can be blamed for a good 75% (or more) of the FAILURE related to consumer credit repair efforts.
It’s the one common mistake that people make no matter what method they choose, no matter what course they buy, no matter how smart or stupid they are.
(Alright, so what is it already?)
Be patient dang it. I’m getting there.
I don’t know why people so consistently make this same mistake.
- Perhaps it’s because nobody told them that the credit bureaus and creditors don’t give a “rat’s a$$” about their credit.
- Perhaps it’s because they think most people are “good people”, and that while “creditors” and “credit bureaus” are not really definable as people, somehow this “good people” rule still applies to them.
- Or, maybe they’re afraid. Maybe they perceive the credit bureau as a dangerous monster (a fair description, I’d say) and they’re just scared to cross the monster’s path.
- Or maybe they think they don’t deserve better credit. Maybe they think that if they reach for the cookie and their hand gets slapped, it’s a sign that wanting cookies is a bad thing and that nobody should ever reach for them.
SO, what’s this one “uber-mistake” that so many people are making?
It’s simple… so simple, you might think it’s kind of dumb. Maybe that’s why it is so often overlooked.
Here it is:
People quit too soon.
Yep. That’s it.
They lack persistence. They quit before the game is over. When they meet resistance, they think that’s the end. They try xyz method, and when xyz method fails, they get angry and say things like “this stuff doesn’t work!”
Please understand something: The credit bureau systems are DESIGNED to make you want to throw the credit repair book through the window and QUIT. I mean it… they are
** D E S I G N E D **
that way.
I’d offer up proof (which there is plenty of) but that isn’t the point of this post.
The point is, the ONLY “silver bullet” in credit repair is a consumer who refuses to give up. Other than that, there are really no magic tricks.
Sure, you need knowledge, you need to learn the methods, you need to have a good “bag of tricks” and sometimes even someone to help tell you how to use the bag of tricks… but in the end, the one thing that will separate the successes from the failures is PERSISTENCE.
So I guess what I’m trying to say is…
Reach for the cookie. Don’t give up. Hang in there. If one thing doesn’t work, try something else. If that doesn’t work, try yet another thing. If you aren’t creative enough to come up with ideas on your own, sign up for the forum and we’ll help you brainstorm. That’s really what it’s all about.

Becoming A Credit Bureau VIP
It seems to me that there may be solid, usable methods to getting into the “VIP Departments” of the credit bureaus, and that there may be some real advantages to doing so if you can pull it off.
If you don’t already know, each credit bureau has a “vip department” where the issues and disputes relating to “important” people get taken care of.
The most obvious way to become a VIP is to be someone who can do some damage to the credit bureau: an attorney, a politician, a high profile business person or celebrity. There may be other ways to have your disputes handled by the VIP department, though.
One forum member, for example, reported that their disputes were being handled by the “priority” department because they had an attorney contact the bureau on their behalf. Will this work for all of us? Probably not all the time, no, but we may have other options.
Are you a VIP? If so how did you get there? Seriously, if you’re reading this and you care to share the details with the world, please feel free.
As for our part, we will keep working and researching to see what may come of this potentially powerful angle to credit repair. Stay tuned, and I’ll try to keep you updated as we learn more about how to become a VIP.

OCR: How Three Seemingly Harmless Letters May Hurt Your Credit
If you haven’t already heard the news, here’s the sum of it: the bureaus are now using “OCR” (Optical Character Recognition) technology to “read” disputes via computer and, if possible, automatically categorize them and even possibly flag them as frivolous.
For the credit bureaus, OCR is an attempt to automate more of their process. By reducing the need for human labor and categorizing and cataloging disputes via computer software as they are received, the credit bureaus can accomplish several things:
- Reduce the likelihood of human error
- Reduce staffing costs
- Automatically “fingerprint” disputes and store in a database
- Detect if similar disputes have been received before
- If the dispute can be automatically categorized (with a numerical e-Oscar code), the dispute can be forwarded to the creditor via e-Oscar with no human intervention whatsoever. At the very least, the computer can do all the work and a human can just review the results and click a button to approve it.
Where the problem really gets kicked into high gear is starting at item #3.
Here’s the problem:
- 100% of credit repair companies use form letters of some kind.
- 99% of credit repair books tell you to do the same
- If the bureaus can tell you are using a letter that they’ve seen before (such as a template from a credit repair product), they may flag your dispute as frivolous “right out of the box”.
So let’s say you buy some “Dummy Credit Repair” book and do what it says. You use their templates (the ones that match your problems) to send to the bureaus. Maybe you have been a victim of identity theft and have several accounts that are genuinely “NOT YOURS”. So you pick the appropriate template, and send them away.
Then the bureaus receive your letters and their computers say “Hey, we’ve already gotten hundreds of letters that look just like this… this is obviously frivolous.” And before you can say “OCR”, your dispute is rejected (or in many cases seemingly ignored).
Here’s the thing you really need to know about OCR: The only way it will hurt you is if you aren’t prepared for it.
If you are aware of it, and will take steps to protect yourself, the letters O C and R will remain mostly harmless for you.
What steps can you take? We’re still working on what we believe will be the best answer for this, but for now, the following will have to suffice:
- Don’t use a credit repair company.
- Hand write your disputes, or use strange fonts with unusual colors. This makes it difficult for the “OCR” scanner to read your dispute, requiring (hopefully) an actual human being to take a look at it.
- Make sure your disputes are HUMAN READABLE… use standard letter formats that make sense. The delicate balance is to thwart the computer without totally screwing up your chances when your dispute reaches a live person.
We are working on methods to help consumers better deal with the potentially negative effects of those three innocent letters. I’ll be sure to keep you posted as we further develop those methods.

Turning Bad Luck Into Profits
I read a newspaper article recently that had this headline: “Your Bad Luck Is a Windfall For Airlines”. The article talked about how change fees and cancellation fees produce about $2 BILLION in revenue per year for the airline industry. So missed flights, changed plans, traffic jams, and more… all this “bad luck” leads to billions for the airline industry.
I got to thinking about this and realized that the airline industry isn’t the only industry making a killing off of consumers’ bad luck. Creditors, credit bureaus, and collection agencies make more money when things go downhill for you. (Notice that I included “credit bureaus” in that list… remember, it is more profitable for them if you have bad credit–more on that in a later post!)
These companies can’t really be faulted 100% for this, because it is really widespread and more or less just the way the system works. Your doctor, your mechanic, your attorney, and your plumber also profit from your bad luck… but it’s not like you’re going to do your own brain surgery any time soon, so you’re probably glad that your doctor is around to help.
What we can really take from this is that there is a positive side to everything; and the key for us is finding that and applying it so that it can benefit us. You may think your bad credit is nothing-but-bad for you. Think again. We all KNOW it has a negative side, but look for the positive side.
Many consumers have totally screwed up their credit, and ended up on our web pages in an attempt to dig themselves out. Many of those same consumers then decide that they wanted to help others dig out too, and end up starting their own profitable credit restoration businesses as a result. Some do it part time, some even full time, but in either case they have now crossed over and have learned to profit from their own bad luck.
Even if you don’t want to start a credit repair business, you could still profit from your bad credit. By fixing your credit today, and positioning yourself for the future, you could be setting yourself up to take advantage of one of the biggest financial opportunities of the next 50 years. What’s the opportunity? If you don’t already know, we’ll leave that for another post.

CREDIT REPAIR: Indirect Action Methods
Today I thought I’d share a little snippet of knowledge that I believe is extemely useful and powerful. I’ve been doing research for an upcoming advanced credit course, and this is something that has popped up a couple of times, and that I find really intriguing. If you’re a member of the forum, there is a good chance you’ve seen this discussed in some form or another.
Here is the basic idea: instead of attacking your negative items head-on, find indirect ways of affecting your credit profile that will yield the same results.
The best example of this is disputing name and address variations. Many consumers and professionals have found that by simply disputing old/outdated addresses and other similar personal information FIRST, some negative accounts just “fall off” their report automatically. The reason this works deals with how credit reports are generated and how credit is reported by creditors… but regardless of the nitty gritty details, it does work.
Most professionals agree that the very first thing you should do when cleaning up your credit is get rid of all your incorrect and outdated addresses and personal information (name misspellings,etc). This type of information is the easiest to dispute, meets the least resistence from the bureaus, and often results in more “difficult” items falling off without them ever even being disputed directly.
There are several more “indirect action” methods, as I’m calling them now, that when combined create a whole arsenal of under-the-radar tools for consumers and credit repair professionals that are both effective and low-impact.

Million Dollar Discount
In a recent WSJ article it tells how a woman named Susan reduced the asking price of her home by $1,000,000 to $2.25 million… and even after the million dollar discount, nobody was apparently interested.
She got an offer for $1.6 million, which is LESS than what she paid in 1999, and HALF of her original asking price.
These numbers are huge, and I personally would not buy a million-dollar home… but this certainly presents a worthwhile opportunity for those who are paying attention.
Housing prices are dropping and mortgage troubles are multiplying, and if you and I are smart, we will do two things in response to this:
1. Get our “stuff” together now… our ducks in a row, if you will, and start building or rebuilding our credit (and our financial picture) to where it needs to be, and…
2. Hopefully as a result of #1, position ourselves so that when the right half-price housing deal comes our way, we can jump on it. Many who think ahead will jump on not just one, but several.
So rather than stress about the economy and healthcare and whether or not you’ll have a job tomorrow (and believe me, I understand all of these stresses), my advice would be to use that energy to work on positioning yourself for financial success in the future. (That’s what I’m doing.)
Worrying will not make you 1 single cent richer. Getting over it and building credit, saving money, taking action to make more money, and doing more with the money you have–these things will make you a lot of cents richer.
If you start preparing today, EVEN IF YOU MISS YOUR MARK, you will be much better off than those who sat, and worried, and did nothing.
