SUPER GRATEFUL
I have been searching for so long on how to fix my credit score, earlier 2022 I had a credit score of 491, charge offs and several negative items and collections. Today I finally found the right company PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and was able to get my score high to 800s across board within 6 days and also removed all negative items and charge offs from my credit report. I now have a new credit report with a clean history. If you’ve a bad credit profile, you can contact them. I’m super grateful for their services. Just want to share my GOOD NEWS!!!

I could not have asked for a better person to represent me for 4 felony's. They were very professional and gave me a sence of confidence from the first time I met with him. They stayed in contact with me through the whole process. I would highly recommend him to make friends and family. The best of the best. I was told he was excellent and they were right. I fought for me and got all dismissed. Thank you so much for being there for me. I truly can say he sav d my life.
