Common questions
Is Credit Saint legitimate?
Yes — Credit Saint is a long-established credit-repair company. Whether they're worth the price is a different question. The dispute work they file is the same FCRA scaffolding any consumer can use directly via a tool like CreditCougar.
What's the difference between Credit Saint's tiers?
Lower tiers limit which dispute types you can file (e.g., bankruptcy or judgment disputes are gated to higher tiers). CreditCougar makes every dispute angle available on the single $29.95 plan.
Will I save money switching from Credit Saint to CreditCougar?
If you're on Credit Saint's $99 or $119 tier, yes — substantially. You'll save $70–$90 per month and gain visibility into every letter being sent.
Does CreditCougar offer a money-back guarantee like Credit Saint?
We offer a 7-day $1 trial — if you cancel before day 7, the $1 is refunded. We don't market a 90-day money-back guarantee because we don't want to incentivize gaming the system; we'd rather convert customers who genuinely benefit and cancel cleanly when they don't.
