I have been enrolled with key credit for almost a year I am on auto draft from this company so I have been getting billed every month and for the past 5 to 6 months. I have not heard from key credit. I have called every phone number that I have on my text messages. I have called every phone number that I have in my emails. I have left every voicemail that I can for the past six weeks. And I still have not received a phone call back. I had to call my bank and cancel my credit card in order for key credit to stop charging me. I have been wrongfully charged for several months and not been able to even speak with not even representative. My credit score has not improved key credit was definitely a waste of time and money for both me and my husband as we do have two open accounts so we have been paying double to key credit for absolutely nothing we saw zero progress but funds were definitely taken out every month!!!Customer Answer

On 3/6/2024 I got in contact with a representative of key credit repair and after about a 45 minute phone call I signed up for their services. They said the service they provide happens in 3 month. Each month there was going to be $287 taken from my bank account. The first month I was able to speak with the representative who signed me up. She walked me through every step they made. The first month was they writing up letters to all the companies who have negative marks on my credit score. The next month money was taken out of my account and I was no longer able to get in contact with anyone from the company. So I was unsure of what the next step was. I made several attempts to get in contact with the representative I spoke with and had no luck. I still have her number saved in my phone and all the text messages between us. The customer portal that I was told would keep me informed of everything going on, didn't give me any information at all. Third payment, there is no change to my credit score still no contact with the company and I get a message on my portal saying my services had been completed when I was told I would have a year with their services. And I still was not able to get in touch with anyone. They got $861 dollars from me and I got absolutely no services from them. They said I made all my payments but then discontinued the services I will attach documentation to prove thatBusiness Response

I am sorry to hear about the difficulties youve encountered in reaching a representative and the confusion regarding your account. I understand how important it is to have clear communication, especially when dealing with credit repair services.
Your account was indeed set to have a year of free service. However, the cancellation occurred due to the chargebacks on the payments. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
We would like to address any concerns you have and go over your account details. Please let us know a convenient time for you, and we will ensure a representative reaches out to assist you promptly.*********************************, CEO

In December of 2023 I reached out to key credit repair in hopes of them repairing my credit. I spoke with *** and he is whom I was in constant contact with. He spoke about the time that it would take to send out certified letters and that I should start to see some reflection within 90 days from starting the process. The cost would be $139.95 a month. He also mentioned that if I was ever unhappy with services that I could cancel at any time. I contacted them in March to get an update and was told they had to send out more letters. I attempted to contact them in April close to the 120day **** via the number that was given to me and the way that I've always been in contact with said entity. However, I was trying to reach out to them April 9th as well as April 16th I never got a response I left voicemails with no response. In my voicemail I expressed my unhappiness with the program and wish to cancel. So on April 19th I filed a claim with **************** (Claim #*****************) I also canceled the card as well. Upon doing so a couple weeks later I received an automated email from Key credit saying they were "sad to see me go" however when I responded to the email I still have not heard back from the repair company nor has anyone tried to reach out and absolve this. In the meantime ***** Fargo told me that they needed information in regards to my cancellation. I sent the email to them where I express my need for cancellation with Key credit and the reason why . I haven't heard anything from them in regards to that. Today ***** Fargo told me that unfortunately they are unable to dispute those charges as they are needing information showing that I've gotten in contact with them. However that seems to be my issue that I am having as I am unable to get anyone to help me with my cancellation. I sent them the email and that's unfortunately all I have as no one has reached out from Key credit repair. I am unable to comply with what **************** needs because no one will respondBusiness Response

Hello,
I am sorry you were not pleased with the service. I understand how important it is to have timely support, especially during credit repair.
While credit repair can be a gradual process, it takes time to have changes and every case is different. You had two deletions with the credit bureaus, which is a positive development.
We can reach out to you to go over a recent credit report.

Please add your rejection comments below; if you do not provide any details, your complaint will be closed as Answered.
I am writing my rebuttal to Key Credit in reference to what they wrote to the BBB. I for one, completely understand credit repair takes time and was allowing such time to pass. However, what I don't understand is how communication is handled in this company. I last heard from anyone at the company in the beginning of March in regards to more letters being sent out and that I need to check back in a month for an undate. I did, and to my surprise was unable to obtain anyone via phone, by text or call and emails were not returned. I always had fast replies in the past and expected nothing different. So I reached out on 4/19 and 4/27 in my finals attempts to get incontact with *** whom I originally started the program with and no return call or text nor email.
So I then call **************** and proceeded to cancel future payments as well as try to use their team to help cover the funds lost. On 4/22 Key Credit received their final payment and I canceled the card with the bank the same day. On May 7 I received a generiupdate. From Key Credit stating they were sad to see me go and what they could do to help. I responded to that email quickly, hoping they would respond and either fix the issue of communication and discussing the "progress" made or by letting me formally cancel. I then forwarded that email to ****************. After ***** FARGO reviewed they said there isn't anything they can do because key credit isn't responding to them and they need more information so they closed my case. Defeated but still hopeful, I then proceed to open a complaint 5weeks later with the BBB in hopes for resolution to this issue. I would like Key Credit to refund my money as they did not deliver as promised and I don't feel comfortable continuing with the lack of communication given to their clients. That seems to be the trend as there are many complaints filed against them on ************************ I don't see where items came off of my report nor have had anyone still reach out from that company to me for resolving the issue. I would have gladly continued the program had they returned any of my calls, text or emails. My contact information has not changed in years so there shouldn't be any discrepancies there. Please let me know the next step in this resolution process.Initial Complaint

We left voice messages and sent written emails, emails return block to express profound dissatisfaction with services of Key Credit Repair. Formally requested immediate cancellation of our enrollment in the program, accompanied by a $973.00 full refund of the payments. My husband and I enrolled in Key Credit Repair program March, 2024, with the anticipation of realizing tangible results within a reasonable timeframe. Payments March 2024, April, 2024, and May 2024, we find deeply disappointed between the promised outcomes and the actual results. In, March, 2024 April 2024 and May 2024, we persistently contacted Key Credit Repair to address our concerns and were unable to connect with a manager, representative, or the support deparmtment via phone calls or emails. Despite our effort to communicate, the dissatisfaction we've not observed any improvements in our credit status or inquiries. Regrettably, these assertions directly conflict which indicates no such changes and raises serious doubts about the transparency and effectiveness of Key Credit Repair. .March 2024, April 2024, and May 2024 our attempts to contact Key Credit Repair manager, staff member, and customer service department have been met with silence, despite leaving multiple voice messages and sending emails. However, when I disputed the charges with my bank, then we received an email in June, 2024 from ************** stating "sorry for the late reply but nothing was done in March, 2024 and letters were out sent May 9th, 2024". My husband and me was emailed usernames and passwords, however, ********************* & unable to log into the website using ********************* assigned. We emails the support department and no reply to assist with resolving the issues. Our calls/emails went unanswered, compounding our frustration with level of unresponsiveness and lack of communication. We believe in fair honest business practices, my sincere hope we can resolve this matter amicably with $973.00 full refund.Business Response

Re: BBB Complaint # ******** [Key Credit Repair]
Subject: 2nd Formal Request for Immediate Cancellation and Full Refund - $973.00
I am writing to formally express our profound dissatisfaction with the services provided by Key Credit Repair and request the immediate cancellation of our enrollment in the Key Credit program, along with a full refund of $973.00, which represents the payments made from March 2024 to May 2024.
My husband and I enrolled in the Key Credit program in March 2024 with the anticipation of realizing tangible results within a reasonable timeframe. However, despite our consistent efforts to engage with the Key Credit team and inquire about the progress, we have seen no improvements in our credit status or inquiries.
Specifically:
We attempted to contact Key Credit Repair in March 2024, April 2024, and May 2024 through multiple channels, including phone calls and emails. Despite leaving numerous voice messages and sending emails, we received no response.
We could not connect with a manager, representative, or the support department during this time.
Despite these efforts, we have not observed any progress in our credit repair process. This lack of transparency and effective communication
has raised serious doubts about the services provided.
We received an email in June 2024 from ************** stating that "nothing was done in March 2024" and that letters were sent out on May 9th,
2024, which contradicts our expectations and previous communications.
The usernames and passwords provided to us were ineffective, and despite reaching out to the Key Credit Repair support department for
assistance, we have yet to receive a reply.
Given these issues, we are entitled to a full refund of $973.00 for the payments made during the aforementioned period. We also formally request the immediate cancellation of our Key Credit Repair program enrollment.
We value fair and honest business practices and hope to resolve this matter amicably. Please respond within 14 days to confirm the cancellation of our account and the processing of our refund. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

I hired the business to repair my credit. One month after starting I decided I did not want their services anymore. This occurred in March of 2024. They are still taking their monthly fees out to this day which is ******. I have called several times and texted leaving messages to stop withdrawing the money from my account. Plus in the four months my credit has not seen any changes. They never return my calls. Im on a fixed income and can not afford this.Business Response

I hired this company to help with my credit. They charged me $52 a month. They have done nothing at all to help with my credit and the last several months have been double charging me every month.
