What is the professional Equifax default removal success rate?

Professional credit repair services achieve a 94% success rate for Equifax default removal compared to just 3% for DIY attempts. This is because professionals use ASIC licensing verification, legal submission standards, established industry relationships, and direct escalation pathways to senior dispute management.

How long does Equifax default removal take?

Professional Equifax default removal typically takes 8-12 weeks depending on the complexity of the case. DIY attempts, when successful (which is rare), can take 6-12 months due to limited access to decision-makers and lack of legal leverage.

Can all Equifax defaults be removed?

Not all defaults can be removed, but many can be successfully challenged if they were listed incorrectly or if proper legal procedures weren't followed. Common grounds include failure to provide proper notification, incorrect debt amounts, identity errors, or violations of the Privacy Act 1988 and Credit Reporting Code.

How much does professional Equifax default removal cost?

Professional default removal services typically cost between $1,500-$4,500 depending on the number of defaults and complexity. However, successful removal can save $50,000-$200,000+ in higher interest rates, blocked loans, and lost opportunities over the lifetime of the defaults.
